Crosley Washer Error Code E24

E24 on a Crosley washer indicates that the drain pump relay on the console control board has failed. This relay is the component that sends power to the drain pump during the appropriate cycle stages. When it fails, the washer cannot drain and stops operation. Resolving E24 typically requires replacing the console control board.

A power reset may temporarily clear the E24 code from the display, but it will not repair the failed relay inside the control board. The error will return as soon as the washer attempts to run a drain cycle. A lasting fix requires replacing the faulty control board.

The primary cost is the replacement console control board, which typically ranges from around $80 to $200 or more depending on the specific model and parts availability. If you hire a technician for the repair, labor charges will add to the total, generally bringing the overall cost into the range of $150 to $350. Checking the drain pump and wiring harness yourself before ordering parts can help avoid the expense of a second board replacement.

The repair involves replacing the console control board, which is a task many experienced DIYers can handle if they are comfortable working with appliance electronics and disconnecting wiring harnesses safely. Before replacing the board, it is worth checking the drain pump and its wiring harness for any shorts or corrosion that may have caused the relay to fail. If those components check out, the board swap is the required fix.

It is not recommended to continue running the washer with an active E24 code. A failed drain pump relay means the machine may be unable to drain water from the drum, which can lead to water sitting in the tub, potential overflow conditions, or additional stress on other components. The washer should remain out of service until the control board is replaced.
