What does Bosch dishwasher error code E24 mean?
Error code E24 on a Bosch dishwasher indicates a drainage problem. The dishwasher is unable to drain water properly, usually due to a clogged filter, blocked drain hose, or issues with the garbage disposal connection.

Clean your Bosch dishwasher filter at least once a month, or more frequently if you wash heavily soiled dishes. Regular filter maintenance is the best way to prevent drainage issues and E24 errors.
Why does my Bosch dishwasher keep getting E24 errors?
