Frigidaire Washer Error Code E24

E24 on a Frigidaire washer means the control board has detected a failure in the drain pump relay circuit. This fault points to either a failed relay on the control board itself or a wiring problem between the board and the drain pump. The washer will stop operation when this code appears. Inspection of both the wiring harness and the control board is needed to resolve it.

No, you should not continue running the washer while E24 is active. A non-functioning drain pump relay means the washer may be unable to drain water properly, which can lead to water remaining in the drum or potentially overflowing. Stop using the appliance and diagnose the fault before running another cycle.

A reset may temporarily clear the E24 code, but if the underlying fault, either a failed relay or a wiring problem, has not been corrected, the code will return as soon as the washer attempts to run the drain pump. A reset is not a repair and should only be used as a step to confirm whether the fault is intermittent or persistent. Address the root cause before relying on the machine for normal use.

A knowledgeable DIYer can start by inspecting and reseating the wiring harness connections at the control board and drain pump, which requires no parts and may resolve the fault if a loose connector is the cause. If the wiring is intact and connections are secure, the control board will need to be replaced, which involves disconnecting multiple harness connectors and swapping the board. Always unplug the washer before performing any internal inspection or repair.

If the fix is simply reseating a loose wiring harness, there is no parts cost involved. If the control board needs to be replaced, parts alone typically range from around 100 to 300 dollars depending on the specific model, with professional labor adding additional cost. Getting a repair estimate before proceeding is advisable to compare against the age and value of the machine.
