Error Code: E24 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: Fault in the compressor cooling fan sensor circuit.
How to Fix E24 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Unplug the dryer from the wall outlet and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Remove the rear access panel to gain access to the internal components.
- Locate the compressor cooling fan (Part 134587700) and the associated thermistor/sensor (Part 134711200).
- Visually inspect the fan for any obstructions, debris, or damage that might prevent it from spinning.
- Check the wiring to both the fan motor and the sensor for any loose connections, breaks, or burn marks.
- If the wiring is intact, you can test the fan motor and the thermistor with a multimeter for proper resistance. If either fails the test, it must be replaced.
- Install the new part(s), reattach the rear panel, and plug the dryer in to test its operation.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
What to Check Next on This Electrolux Dryer
Focused repair path: dryer airflow, heating, motor, sensor, and control checks. Do not treat the fault as reset-only if it keeps returning; use the failed function to choose the next test.
- Disconnect power before opening panels, then confirm whether the Electrolux dryer repeats the same code after a clean reset.
- Match the symptom to the part of the cycle or function that fails: fill, drain, heat, cool, spin, latch, ignite, fan, sensor, or control response.
- Inspect simple causes first: airflow, water supply, drain path, door closure, filter, venting, wiring connectors, and visible damage.
- Use meter testing or service diagnostics before replacing electronic controls, because wiring, switches, sensors, and loads can mimic board failure.
- Use the complete Electrolux dryer model number from the appliance tag before ordering any model-specific part.
Check, inspect, clean, test, measure, remove, reconnect, clear, and replace parts only when the symptom supports that path. If these checks point toward a part, verify the complete Electrolux model number from the appliance tag before ordering.

When It’s Better to Replace Than Repair
Dryer repairs are often worth it for small parts, but repeated heating, motor, drum, or control failures can point toward replacement.
Confirm gas vs electric, venting, voltage, doorway clearance, and laundry-space dimensions before ordering.
For repair parts, verify exact fit with the full dryer model number before buying; these links are general replacement-appliance shopping options.
- [OK]Thermal fuse or heater failures keep returning
- [OK]Belt, roller, or motor repairs exceed unit value
- [OK]Door switch or control issues stack with other faults
- [OK]Older dryer has long dry times even after vent cleaning
