What to do when E24 shows on the dishwasher

### Kind of code Drain

Water did not leave the tub in the time the control expects. A clogged filter, a kinked hose or a blocked disposal inlet are ruled out before the drain pump.

### Usually leads to Drain and pump repair

Water left standing in the tub, cleared by finding where the drain path actually stops.

### Shows up as Dishwasher Not Draining

Dirty water stays in the bottom of the tub after the cycle ends.

### Make Thermador

Luxury built-in dishwashers from the BSH family, in stainless and panel-ready versions.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Thermador's own guidance for E24 on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Turn the machine off, remove the filters and bail out the water.

02

Unclip the drain pump cover, clear the pump chamber and snap the cover back in.

03

Check the air gap on the sink and the drain hose; put the hose end in a bucket to flush it if needed.

04

Book a visit if a rinse cycle afterward still leaves water behind.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [drain and pump repair](https://dishwasherrepair.center/services/drain-and-pump-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

E24 is a drain signal, not a supply one: the water got in fine and could not get out.

## Questions about E24.

### Can I clear E24 myself?

Turn the machine off, remove the filters and bail out the water. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### How can I flush the drain hose for E24 on my Thermador?

Place the hose end in a bucket so any debris can be flushed through, and clear the air gap mounted on the sink as well. Thermador lists both among the causes of E24.

### Is E24 on a Thermador a problem with water coming in?

No, E24 is a drain code: the water entered normally and could not be pumped away. The checks start at the pump cover and move out along the hose.
