Maytag Washer Error Code d24

The d24 code means the washer's water temperature sensor has reported a reading that is outside the expected range. The control board monitors the sensor continuously, and when the signal falls too high or too low, it stores this code and may stop the cycle. The problem is typically in the sensor itself, the wiring, or the connector between the sensor and the control board.

Clearing the code and resetting power may temporarily remove the d24 error, but if the underlying cause is not corrected, the code will return. A reset is useful as a first step to confirm whether the error is intermittent or consistent, but it does not fix a failed sensor or damaged wiring.

If only the water temperature sensor needs replacement, parts typically cost in the range of $15 to $50 depending on the specific model, and the repair is relatively inexpensive. If the main control board is at fault, parts alone can range from $100 to $300 or more, and professional labor will add to that total. Getting a diagnosis of the exact failed component before ordering parts helps avoid unnecessary expense.

Many DIYers can address this error by first clearing the code, unplugging the washer, and performing an ohm test on the water temperature sensor. If the sensor tests faulty, it can be replaced as a straightforward repair. Wiring and connector issues are also DIY-friendly if you are comfortable working with appliance electrical components.

Running the washer with an active d24 error is not recommended. Without accurate temperature sensing, the machine may use the wrong water temperature for your selected cycle, which can damage fabrics or result in poor cleaning performance. It is best to resolve the fault before continuing regular use.
