Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher Error Code F24

F24 means the wash motor has stalled, stopped, or detected an overload condition during a cycle. The dishwasher shuts down automatically to protect the motor from damage. The cause can be a physical obstruction in the pump, a seized motor, or an electrical fault in the motor circuit.

A reset may temporarily clear the F24 code, but the error will return if the underlying cause has not been addressed. If a jam or obstruction was cleared before resetting, the reset may hold. If the motor or control board has failed, the code will reappear as soon as the dishwasher attempts to run a cycle.

Repair costs vary depending on the cause. Clearing a simple obstruction yourself costs nothing beyond your time. If the wash motor needs replacement, parts and labor typically range from $150 to $400 depending on your location and service rates. A control board replacement, if required, can push costs higher, generally in the $200 to $500 range including labor.

Start by checking the pump area for any foreign objects such as broken glass or food debris that may be jamming the impeller. Remove the filter and inspect the sump, then try rotating the motor rotor by hand to confirm it moves freely. If no obstruction is found and the error persists, check the motor wiring connections and test the motor itself for signs of failure.

No, you should not continue running the dishwasher while F24 is active. The appliance has stopped the cycle specifically to prevent motor damage from overloading or overheating. Running repeated cycles while this fault is present can permanently damage the motor windings and lead to a more costly repair.
