Error Code: E24 Difficulty: Easy

Problem: Dishwasher not draining properly due to a blocked drain filter.

How to Fix E24 Error (Step-by-Step)

  1. Open the dishwasher door and completely remove the bottom dish rack to get clear access to the floor of the tub.
  2. Locate the filter system in the bottom center of the dishwasher. It consists of a cylindrical coarse filter and a flat fine mesh screen.
  3. Twist the cylindrical filter counter-clockwise and lift it straight up to remove it.
  4. Lift out the flat mesh screen that was underneath the cylindrical filter.
  5. Thoroughly rinse both filter components under warm, running water. Use a soft brush to gently remove any food debris or buildup.
  6. Check the sump area where the filters sit for any foreign objects and clean it out.
  7. Place the fine mesh screen back first, ensuring it lies flat, then insert and twist the cylindrical filter clockwise until it locks firmly into place.
  8. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
