This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect mains power before touching the control board. Static discharge can damage electronics—ground yourself.
Steps:
- 1. Power reset: Unplug the freezer for at least 10–15 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and check if E9 clears.
- 2. Inspect control board: Access the main PCB (often behind a rear cover or in the top control housing). Look for burnt components, bulging capacitors, or signs of moisture.
- 3. Check connectors: Reseat all multi-pin connectors to ensure good contact. Verify that no pins are bent or corroded.
- 4. Verify supply voltage: With appropriate safety precautions, confirm that the board receives correct mains input and outputs low-voltage supplies to sensors and display.
- 5. Replace control board: If E9 persists and no external wiring faults are found, replace the main control board with a Bomann-compatible module programmed for your model.
Note: Some models may require parameter setup after board replacement; refer to the service documentation or use a professional.
