Possible Causes

Shorted motor windings, Failed triac or power module on PCB, Short circuit in motor wiring harness, Surge-damaged control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power and do not repeatedly reset if E09 appears, as further damage may occur.

  • Check motor for shorts: With the rear panel removed, disconnect the motor plug and measure resistance between each motor terminal and the motor frame. Any continuity indicates a shorted motor that must be replaced.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the harness from motor to PCB for melted insulation or arcing marks. Replace damaged harnesses.
  • Assess PCB: Remove the control board housing and visually inspect for burnt components, especially near the motor triac or power module. If damaged, the PCB must be replaced with a Candy-compatible board.

Because E09 is typically a control electronics fault, replacement of the PCB and sometimes the motor is often required and is best done by a professional.
