Error codeF24
ApplianceWasher
A compact front load Whirlpool washer can show F24 for either of two reasons, sometimes with a red symbol lit as well.
Case one: the load was too large
A few programs accept only a small maximum load. Choose Rinse & Spin and start it so the interrupted cycle can finish. After that, keep to the maximum load size printed in the Program/Cycle Guide of the Owner’s Manual rather than overfilling.
Case two: too much water came in
Close the water faucet.
Press Power and keep holding for 3 seconds or more. The washer drains, and End appears on the display once draining finishes.
Open the faucet again.
If water runs straight in while no program is running, close the faucet, power the washer off and pull the plug. The Owner’s Manual section called Assistance or Service explains how to reach a service representative.
Water that runs in with no program started is the moment to arrange Whirlpool washer repair in San Francisco, and (415) 687-4102 is where to ask. Keep the code, the washer model number and the state of the faucet on hand.
Model compatibility: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so F24 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F24 means too much laundry for the program or too much inlet water on a compact front load washer.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
