Frigidaire Washer Error Code E24 — Overflow / Water Level Too High
What this means
The E24 error on Frigidaire washers means the water level has risen above the overflow threshold. This can be caused by a stuck-open water inlet valve, a failed pressure switch, a blocked pressure switch hose, or a drain hose that is siphoning water back into the machine from the standpipe.
Step-by-step fix
4 stepsTurn off the water supply immediately
Close both hot and cold water valves behind the washer. This stops any additional water from entering. If there is water on the floor, mop it up.
If the washer is still running, press Cancel/Power Off. If it does not respond, unplug it.
Check the water inlet valve
Disconnect power. With the water supply off, check if water continues to drip into the tub. A dripping valve indicates internal failure — the valve is stuck open and must be replaced.
Even a slow drip from a failed inlet valve can eventually overflow the tub.
Inspect the pressure switch and hose
The pressure switch uses a small tube connected to the tub to sense water level. Check this tube for kinks, cracks, or blockages. Blow gently through the tube to clear any debris. The switch should click when you blow into it.
A cracked pressure hose lets air escape, causing the switch to always read 'empty' — the washer fills indefinitely.
Check for siphoning
If the drain hose is pushed too far into the standpipe or the standpipe is too short, water can siphon back into the washer. Ensure the hose end is no more than 8 inches into the pipe and the standpipe is at least 39 inches tall.
An anti-siphon clip (often included with the washer) prevents this problem when installed correctly.
When to call a professional
If the inlet valve and pressure switch test fine but the washer continues to overfill, a control board issue may be sending continuous fill commands.
