The controller failed to communicate with the lower convection fan and oven lights control board (double wall oven).

First step from the service manual

Verify wiring between P2 on the display board and P2 on the convection fan and oven lights control board. If wiring is good, replace convection fan and oven lights board. If the problem persists, replace the display board.

What F24 means on a Electrolux oven

The F24 error code on an Electrolux double wall oven indicates a communication failure between the main display board and the convection fan and oven lights control board for the lower oven. This subordinate control board is responsible for managing the lower oven's convection fan motor and interior lighting. The two boards communicate through a dedicated wiring path connected at connector P2 on the display board and connector P2 on the convection fan and oven lights control board. When the display board cannot establish or maintain that communication link, it triggers F24 and halts normal operation.

The most common root cause is a wiring fault in the harness running between these two connectors. Loose, burnt, or corroded pins at either P2 connector can interrupt the signal. Damaged wire insulation, pinched harness sections, or a connector that has pulled partially free from its housing can all produce the same result. Because this is a communication error rather than a sensor error, intermittent connection problems can cause the code to appear and disappear without a consistent pattern.

If the wiring and connectors at both P2 points check out and the code persists, the convection fan and oven lights control board itself is the next suspect. A failed board will not respond to communication attempts from the display board regardless of wiring condition. If replacing that board does not resolve the fault, the display board should be tested and replaced, as it is the initiating side of the communication. Repair typically follows this sequence: wiring inspection first, subordinate board second, display board last.

Common causes of F24

  1. 01

    Loose or disconnected P2 wiring connector

    Wiring / connection

    The harness connector at P2 on either the display board or the convection fan and oven lights control board may have worked loose over time. Check both connectors for a firm, fully seated connection before doing anything else.

  2. 02

    Damaged or corroded wiring harness

    Wiring / connection

    The wire harness between the two P2 connectors can suffer from heat damage, pinching, or pin corrosion. Inspect the full length of the harness for burnt insulation, broken wires, or corroded terminals that would interrupt the communication signal.

  3. 03

    Failed convection fan and oven lights control board

    Part replacement

    If the wiring checks out, the subordinate control board itself may have failed and is no longer responding to the display board's communication attempts. Replacing this board is the next step after confirming the harness is intact.

  4. 04

    Failed display board

    Part replacement

    If a new convection fan and oven lights board does not clear the F24 code, the display board may be defective and unable to initiate communication correctly. The display board is the last component to replace in the diagnostic sequence.

Frequently asked questions about F24

What does F24 mean on a Electrolux oven?
F24 on an Electrolux double wall oven means the main display board has detected a communication failure with the lower oven's convection fan and oven lights control board. The two boards connect through the P2 connector on each board, and any break in that link triggers this code. The fault can come from a loose connector, damaged wiring, or a failed board on either end of the connection.
Can I fix F24 on my Electrolux oven myself?
A knowledgeable DIYer can start by inspecting the wiring harness and connectors at P2 on both the display board and the convection fan and oven lights control board, which requires no special tools beyond the ability to access the boards safely. If the wiring looks good, replacing the convection fan and oven lights control board is the next step. Board replacement requires disconnecting power to the oven and some comfort with working inside appliance control panels, so if you are unsure, a qualified technician is the safer choice.
Is it safe to use my Electrolux oven with an F24 error?
F24 indicates a control communication fault, which means the oven may not operate reliably or at all until the issue is resolved. Attempting to use the oven while this fault is active is not recommended, as the lower oven's convection fan and lighting functions may be uncontrolled or disabled. Disconnect power and address the fault before resuming use.
Will resetting my Electrolux oven clear the F24 code?
Cycling power to the oven may temporarily clear the F24 code, but if the underlying wiring fault or board failure is still present, the code will return. A power reset is not a fix for this error. The wiring between the two P2 connectors and the boards themselves need to be inspected and repaired or replaced to permanently resolve the fault.
How much does it cost to repair an F24 error on an Electrolux oven?
If the fix is simply reseating a connector, there is no parts cost involved. Replacing the convection fan and oven lights control board typically costs in the range of $100 to $250 for the part alone, depending on the specific model. If the display board also needs replacement, that part can add another $150 to $350 or more. Adding professional labor costs will increase the total repair estimate.
