Appliance Dishwasher
Quick answer

E24 points to a drainage problem — the dishwasher is not draining as expected.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so E24 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

The E24 code indicates the dishwasher detected that water is not draining properly. It usually relates to a restriction in the drain path rather than a serious internal fault.

Signs

Symptoms you may notice

Water remains at the bottom after a cycle

E24 appears near the end of the cycle

Longer cycle times

Why it happens

Possible causes

A clogged filter or sump

A blocked or kinked drain hose

A restricted air gap or disposer connection

Before you call

Safe checks you can make

These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.

Check and clean the accessible filter per your manual

Confirm the drain hose is not kinked where visible

If connected to a disposer, confirm the knockout plug was removed

Caution

Safety warning

Important safety warning

Standing water combined with electrical components means you should avoid deep disassembly. Basic filter cleaning is fine; internal drainage repairs are not.

Please avoid

What not to attempt

Do not disassemble the drain pump

Do not remove internal electrical parts

Do not force objects into the sump

Get help

When to call a technician

If cleaning the filter and checking the hose does not clear E24, book a diagnosis to inspect the drain pump and path.
