Appliance Fault Codes

What that error code means — and what you can safely check

Bosch dishwasher E24 error code

E24 means drain fault. The dishwasher cannot drain — water remains in the sump at the end of the cycle.

Often fixable at home · Fault type: Electrical/hardware

Safe checks, in order of likelihood

  1. Unplug. Remove the filter in the floor of the tub and rinse it under the tap.
  2. Check the drain hose at the sink spigot or standpipe is not blocked or kinked.
  3. Check the sink trap spigot is not blocked (a blocked kitchen sink backs up into the dishwasher).
  4. Run a rinse programme to test.

Call a professional when…

If the code returns after these checks, book a qualified engineer.
