Error Code: F24 Difficulty: Hard
Problem: The water pump is blocked.
How to Fix F24 Error (Step-by-Step)
- Disconnect the dishwasher from power by unplugging it or switching off the circuit breaker.
- Shut off the water supply to the dishwasher, typically located under the sink.
- Remove the bottom dish rack, lower spray arm, and filter assembly from inside the dishwasher tub to access the drain pump cover.
- Place a towel under the pump cover and carefully pry it open to check for any visible obstructions like glass shards, food particles, or small bones. Remove any debris found.
- If no blockage is found, you will need to access the pump from underneath. Carefully pull the dishwasher out from the cabinet and lay it on its back on a soft towel or blanket.
- Remove the base cover panel. Locate the drain pump, disconnect the wire harness, and unclamp the hoses. Have a shallow pan and towels ready to catch residual water.
- Remove the old pump, which is often held in place by a few screws or a twist-lock mechanism. Install the new pump, reconnect the hoses and electrical connector, and reassemble the dishwasher in reverse order.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
