You started the program in the dishwasher, but did the car stop at the drain stage? The control panel does not respond to pressing, water does not drain from the hopper. At the same time, error E24 is lit in the Siemens dishwasher. The explanation of the problem is as follows: the error is draining the water.
We will figure out what is the cause of the malfunction and how to fix it with our own hands.
Why breakdown occurs in the PMM "Siemens"
If there is a malfunction in technology, the system immediately issues an error code to the display. Depending on the type of breakdown, the meaning of the code may be different.
The decoding E 24 indicated in the instruction sounds quite extensively. How to understand where to look for a problem? Is the cause of a kinked drain hose or a blockage in the system? If the connection to the communications is made correctly, and you did not touch the hose, then the matter may be:
- faulty level sensor;
- breakdown of the drain pump;
- error or failure of the electronic board.
It is necessary to check everything in turn, so we proceed to the repair.
How to fix the problem
Immediately eliminate a system crash. To do this, try to reset the error by rebooting:
- disconnect the PMM from the network;
- wait 10-15 minutes;
- restart the launch.
The machine can again display the E24 code on the screen if it is not a failure, but a breakdown. Then clean the drain system:
- Open the tank door.
- Pull out the basket for dishes.
- Unscrew the drain filter, rinse under the pressure of water.
- Behind the filter is the impeller of the pump. If it is blocked by garbage, then there will be no discharge.
- Loosen the screws and pull the pump cover towards you.
- Put on gloves and clean the impeller.
- Then disconnect the drain hose and clean with a brush.
- Check the junction of the sewer and the hose. You can eliminate the blockage by special means.
Such cleaning should be carried out at least once a month.
Next, the pump is inspected. What to do:
- Loosen the screws and remove the side and top panel.
- Disconnect the bottom plate under the dishwasher door.
- Turn the machine “on its back” or upside down.
- Remove the bottom bottom cover. To do this, unfasten the latches, or remove the screws.
- A drain pump is attached to the side of the circulation unit.
- Disconnect the wiring from it.
- Grab the part by hand and scroll counterclockwise.
- Check all pump openings for clogging. At the same time, inspect the drain pipe.
The reason for the appearance of the E24 icon on the display can be not only a blockage. Sometimes the impeller stops rotating due to poor rotor performance. If water gets in, the grease is washed out of the bushings. Check and lubricate parts.
Forum users are advised to open and close the car door during operation. So the code will stop burning on the display and it will be possible to continue washing. But even if the error is reset, this will not solve the problem. Subsequently, expensive repairs will be needed.
