What the E24 Error Means
The E24 error code indicates a drainage fault. The dishwasher has attempted to drain but water has not been removed from the tub within the expected time. This is one of the more common dishwasher error codes and is often caused by a blockage in the drain hose or filters rather than a component failure.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Blocked or kinked drain hose
A bent, kinked or partially obstructed drain hose is one of the most common causes of this error. The hose may have become trapped behind the machine or pushed too far into the standpipe.
Blocked filters
A heavily soiled filter assembly prevents water from flowing freely to the drain pump, causing drainage to be too slow or incomplete.
Blocked drain pump
Foreign objects such as food debris, glass or labels can enter the drain pump and restrict or stop drainage.
Blocked household drain
A blockage in the sink trap or household plumbing connected to the dishwasher outlet can prevent water from draining away.
Faulty drain pump
The drain pump motor may have failed and is no longer able to expel water from the machine.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Check the drain hose
Inspect the drain hose at the back of the machine for any kinks, bends or obstructions. Ensure it is not inserted more than 15cm into the standpipe.
Clean the filters
Remove and thoroughly clean the filter assembly at the bottom of the tub to ensure water can flow freely to the drain pump.
Check the household drain
Pour water down the sink to confirm the drain the dishwasher connects to is clear and flowing freely.
Restart the dishwasher
Turn the appliance off at the mains for a few minutes before restarting to clear any temporary fault.
