Error code E24
Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

E24 points to a drainage problem — the dishwasher is not draining as expected.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so E24 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Whirlpool

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

The E24 code indicates the dishwasher detected that water is not draining properly. It usually relates to a restriction in the drain path rather than a serious internal fault.

Whirlpool

Symptoms you may notice.

Typical signs that this code is active on the appliance.

Longer cycle times

Whirlpool

Possible causes to consider.

Common reasons this code appears — the exact fault varies by model.

A clogged filter or sump

A blocked or kinked drain hose

A restricted air gap or disposer connection

Whirlpool

Safe checks you can make.

Simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.

Check and clean the accessible filter per your manual

Confirm the drain hose is not kinked where visible

If connected to a disposer, confirm the knockout plug was removed

Whirlpool

Safety warning before you continue.

Stop immediately if you notice smoke, sparks, a burning smell, gas odor, or water near electrical parts.

Important

Standing water combined with electrical components means you should avoid deep disassembly. Basic filter cleaning is fine; internal drainage repairs are not.

Whirlpool

What not to attempt.

Leave these steps to a qualified technician — they can create a safety risk.

Do not disassemble the drain pump

Do not remove internal electrical parts

Do not force objects into the sump

Whirlpool

When to call a technician.

If the code returns after the safe checks, book a diagnosis for your specific model.

If cleaning the filter and checking the hose does not clear E24, book a diagnosis to inspect the drain pump and path.
