The dishwasher filter plays a big part in its drainage system, and a severely blocked filter can lead to the E24 error code. When the filter is clogged, water flow is obstructed, which means your dishes don’t get properly cleaned and water will pool in the bottom of your dishwasher.
To clean the filter:
If the error code persists after cleaning the filter, your dishwasher may benefit from running a cleaning cycle. This can clear out any soap scum, grease, or food debris that might be blocking the drainage system.
To do this:
A blocked or kinked drain hose may prevent your Bosch dishwasher from draining properly, which will result in an E24 error code. To figure out if the drain hose is causing the error:
A dishwasher air gap is a cylinder that connects your dishwasher drainage to your kitchen sink. It prevents water from flowing out during your dishwasher’s cleaning cycle and stops dirty water from soiling your clean dishes. If there is a fault with your air gap, it can cause drainage issues, leading to the E24 error code.
To check this:
If you’ve ruled out the other issues in our guide, the drain pump could be blocked. Sometimes, the drain pump can get blocked by food particles or bits of debris, such as broken crockery or cherry pits. This can impact on its drainage capabilities, and lead to the E24 error code.
