Bosch Washer Error Code Er:24

Er:24 means the motor power relay on the main control module has failed. The relay is the internal switch the board uses to send power to the drive motor. When it malfunctions, the washer stops the cycle and displays this code to prevent further damage. The control module must be replaced to resolve the fault.

No, you should not continue operating the washer with Er:24 active. A failed motor power relay can mean the motor circuit is not properly controlled, which creates a risk of unpredictable motor operation or an electrical hazard. Stop using the machine and have the control module inspected and replaced before running another cycle.

A power reset may temporarily clear the code from the display, but it will not fix the underlying relay failure in the control module. Er:24 will return as soon as the washer attempts to start the motor again. A reset should only be used as a brief diagnostic step to confirm the fault is repeatable, not as a substitute for replacing the faulty control module.

Replacing a control module requires disconnecting the washer from power, accessing the control board housing, and carefully transferring wiring harness connectors to the new board. Knowledgeable DIYers comfortable working with appliance electronics can perform this repair. However, because a failed motor relay can involve a welded contact that leaves the motor circuit live, it is safest to have a qualified technician handle the diagnosis and replacement.

Control module replacement is the required repair for Er:24. Parts costs for Bosch washer control boards typically range from $150 to $350 depending on the model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs generally fall between $250 and $500. Getting a firm quote from a technician before proceeding is recommended, since costs vary by region and model.
