This code is displayed when a malfunction occurs in the machine with the drainage system. For example, the water drains too slowly or partially remains in the tank, or even completely no drainage of water from the dishwasher.

It is traditionally believed that the causes of problems with the drainage system are that the drain channel is clogged or the hose to drain the water is bent in some place.

Causes of error

Unfortunately, manufacturers often confuse the error code. It is generally accepted that e24 indicates that a blockage has occurred in the drainage system. This is not so, since the e22 code indicates a blockage. E24 has a fundamentally different meaning. The causes of the error may be as follows:

• One of the sensors is broken;
• The drain pump is in a malfunctioning condition, which causes a malfunction in the drainage system;
• One of the microcircuits of the electronic filling of the control panel burned out.

No matter what caused the breakdown of your dishwasher, you will have to disassemble the equipment and repair some parts, and in case of malfunction, replace them for repair and installation work.

Troubleshooting Methods

There are several ways to fix problems with the drainage system. Perhaps your drain pipes, filters, or the pump itself is really clogged. You will need to partially or completely disassemble the dishwasher and clean the drain hose with a long cable, or rinse it under a powerful pressure of water.

For the prevention of blockages The best solution would be to rinse plates, pans, and other items before loading them into dish trays. To inspect and carry out repair and installation work, follow the step-by-step instructions:

• Disconnect the dishwasher from the mains, and also turn off the water supply to the inlet hose;
• Disconnect the drain hose from the drain, and also unscrew the clamps securing the inlet hose;
• Turn the dishwasher upside down;
• Further, if you have a freestanding dishwasher, unscrew the back cover, as well as the two side panels. Now you can get to the "guts" of the equipment;
• Remove the bracket securing the bottom of the housing. Now you can also remove the remaining trims;
• Remove the plastic fasteners fixed on the sides;
• Now you can unscrew the fasteners that hold the bottom;
• Now you can see the plastic spare part, from which the pipes for the Cossack water and the heating element come. Next to it is the pump. Turn it clockwise and carefully move it to the side;
• Disconnect all wiring from the pump so as not to damage anything during installation;
• Inspect the impeller for extraneous elements such as tow, flax, mounting threads, and anything that could clog filters and pipes;
• Next pull out the shaft
• Now, after flushing the drainage system, reassemble the machine in the reverse order. For convenience, take the video of the disassembly of the dishwasher so that in case of difficulties you have the opportunity to watch the video and understand where the part is located, as well as the number of fasteners that fix the panels and elements.

Now try restarting the loop. Most likely, the equipment will work in normal mode, however, if the error is still displayed on the display, then the rotor is in a problem. For example, the rotor adheres tightly to the walls and rotates with great difficulty. This problem is also solvable: it is enough to clean the sleeve, and also treat the walls with special grease. Now the pump is running. This problem is rare enough - most users of dishwashers who have encountered error e 24 indicated that blowing or washing pipes and a hose was enough to fix the problem.

Some users advise that if an error occurs, turn the dishwasher off and on again. Sometimes this helps, but this method is dangerous because power outages can cause problems in the electronic filling. The machine will operate at the limit of its capabilities, which can lead to a short circuit or combustion of the chip. Therefore, using this method is not recommended.
