WHEN I WASH THE CLOTHES I GET AN ERROR F-24. THE BOOK SAYS ITS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE? CAN YOU HELP?
"F24" is a Temperature sensor error. The following link explains:
http://www.fixya.com/support/r3608650-f24_error_code
The temperature sensor, is located under the bottom front of the wash tub. It is a small square black plug between the heating element terminals. In many cases the connector plug comes loose and simply needs to be reconnected.
If the sensor is defective, a replacement can be purchased at any of the following websites:
searspartsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com
Prices vary between these sites, so shop and compare. If the model number is correct, the part number you need is 1404-000230. It is listed as item 6A in the parts listing at pcappliancerepair.com, but does not show an image of it. The average cost is about $10.
Each one of these washers comes with a technical data sheet inside. To access, you will need to remove the lower toe panel under the door. The access screws are located under the bottom front edge of the panel. You may have to prop the two front fett of the washer up for better access ( a 2x4 works well for this). With the screws removed, the panel should drop down, then come off. If the tech sheet isn't directly behind the panel, it will be affixed to one of the interior cabinet walls.
The tech sheet lists all error code definitions, troubleshooting data, diagnostics procedures and wiring diagrams. I mention the tech sheet because you may need it to troubleshoot this error code.
Although, the problem is usually attributed to the sensor, it could possibly be the heating element and/or connections. The tech sheet should list the steps necessary to isolate the problem.
If you have any questions about this repair, please post back and let me know. I hope this helps you.
Thank you Jeff Rockwell! You are my new best friend -- or should I say my wife's new best friend! When our Maytag was in the final spin cycle it suddenly sounded as if I had left another pocket full of rocks loose and then it spun down to a stop. Trying to get it started again only produced the F24 error code. A quick Google search found this site and your post. You were spot-on sir! After removing the front kick panel, sure enough, that little black plug was just dangling loose right in front as you suggested. Thanks for the tips on using the 2X4 to prop the machine up a bit too. The only thing that I will add is that those three screws that hold the front panel on are internal star screw-heads, not regular philips heads. Fortunately I had the proper bit on hand so it was still only a 5 minute screws-out to screws-in job thanks to the information that you provided. My wife was greatly relieved that she was able to complete her laundry without interruption. Thanks again! Well done!
Hello friend, thanks for your post!
I understand that your want to replace the pump inside of your Electrolux dishwasher. From my understanding an "E3" error code is an issue with your wash motor. It could be a problem with the wash motor, wash motor hall sensor, or control panel. In any case these intricate parts do require precision and patience, therefore when replacing the exchange of electrical components or removing them from your appliance, I always suggest seeking professional assistance. One must be very careful as these replacements can lead to potential harm. -Chris
