Electrolux Washer Error Code 24

Error code 24 on an Electrolux washer indicates a drain triac error. The triac is a component on the main control board that controls the 120 VAC power supply to the drain pump. The washer has detected a fault in this switching circuit, which can be caused by a clogged drain hose, a failed pump motor, a damaged wiring harness, or a faulty triac on the control board itself.

A reset may temporarily clear the code, but if the underlying fault is still present, the error will return as soon as the washer attempts to drain again. A reset alone is not a fix. The root cause, whether a restricted hose, failed pump, or faulty control board, must be identified and corrected to permanently resolve the error.

Repair costs vary depending on the failed component. A replacement drain pump typically costs between 40 and 120 dollars for the part, plus labor if a technician is used. A main control board, required if the triac has failed, generally ranges from 150 to 350 dollars for the part. Professional labor charges typically add 80 to 150 dollars depending on your location and service provider.

Start by checking the drain hose for any kinks or blockages and clear any restrictions you find. Next, confirm that 120 VAC is reaching the drain pump during the drain cycle using a multimeter. If voltage is present but the pump does not run, replace the drain pump. If voltage is absent, inspect the wiring harness and connectors before considering a main control board replacement.

It is not recommended to run the washer while error code 24 is active. If the drain system is not functioning correctly, water cannot be removed from the tub at the end of the cycle. Continuing to operate the machine with a drain fault can result in water remaining in the drum, potential overflow, or additional stress on related components.
