Whirlpool Washer Error Code d24

The d24 code is the AccuTrac display version of the F24 fault, indicating a water temperature sensor error. It means the control board is receiving a signal from the thermistor that is outside its expected range. The washer will stop operating until the sensor or its wiring connection is repaired. Unplugging the washer and inspecting the sensor and connector is the recommended first step.

It is not recommended to continue using the washer while the d24 fault is active. The washer cannot accurately regulate or monitor water temperature, which could affect wash performance or potentially allow temperature conditions the machine is not designed to handle. The washer will typically stop the cycle on its own when this code is triggered.

Unplugging the washer for a few minutes and restoring power may temporarily clear the d24 code, but the fault will return if the underlying problem is not fixed. A reset does not repair a failed thermistor or damaged wiring. The code should be used as a diagnostic indicator to guide the actual repair rather than simply cleared without addressing the cause.

Many cases of the d24 error can be resolved with basic diagnostic skills. After unplugging the washer, check that the temperature sensor connector is securely attached and free of corrosion. If you have a multimeter, you can test the thermistor resistance to determine whether the sensor needs replacement. If the wiring and sensor both check out, the repair becomes more complex and may benefit from a professional technician.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. A replacement water temperature sensor typically costs between $15 and $50 for the part alone. If professional labor is needed, total repair costs including diagnosis and installation generally range from $100 to $250. A wiring harness or control board replacement would fall on the higher end of that range.
