What the F24 Error Code Means
The F24 error code indicates that the water level inside the drum has risen to overflow level — the overflow contact on the pressure switch has remained closed for more than 60 seconds. When this happens, the drain pump automatically activates to remove the excess water. This can be caused by a faulty water inlet valve, a faulty pressure sensor or a drainage problem preventing the machine from managing water levels correctly.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty water inlet valve
A water inlet valve that is stuck open or not closing correctly will continue to allow water into the drum after the required level has been reached, causing an overflow condition.
Faulty pressure sensor or blocked sensor hose
If the pressure sensor or its connecting hose is faulty or blocked, it may fail to detect the correct water level and allow the machine to overfill.
Blocked drain hose or filter
A blockage in the drain system can prevent the machine from managing water levels correctly during the cycle, contributing to an overflow condition.
Drain hose positioned too low
If the drain hose end is too low, water can siphon back into the drum, causing the water level to rise unexpectedly.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Allow the machine to drain
When F24 is displayed the drain pump will activate automatically. Allow the machine to complete the draining process before attempting to restart.
Check the drain hose position
Ensure the end of the drain hose is positioned between 60cm and 100cm above floor level to prevent siphoning.
Clean the drain pump filter
Check and clean the pump filter at the bottom front of the machine to ensure there are no blockages preventing correct drainage.
Check the drain hose
Inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages that could be restricting drainage.
Restart the washing machine
Once draining is complete, switch the machine off at the mains for a few minutes, then switch back on and restart the programme.
