Electrolux dishwasher 01-24 Status Message

Electrolux says 01-24 indicates that Delay Start is enabled. The selected cycle begins when the displayed delay reaches zero, so this is an operating status rather than evidence of a failed dishwasher.

Applies to Electrolux dishwasher

What the appliance detected

Detected condition

The Delay Start option is active and the display is showing the remaining hours before the selected cycle begins.

What may contribute

Possible causes

  • Delay Start may have been intentionally selected.
  • The option may have been selected accidentally while choosing a cycle.
  • A model-specific control issue is possible only if the documented cancel procedure does not respond normally.

Start conservatively

Safe preliminary checks

Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.

  1. Record the exact display and model

    • Photograph the code or message before clearing it so the original display is preserved.
    • Confirm the complete model number and compare it with the Electrolux owner manual before using any model-specific procedure.
  2. Use only documented owner-accessible checks

    • Confirm the display is a delay time from 01 through 24 rather than a separate fault code.
    • Use the model controls to cancel Delay Start. Electrolux documents pressing or holding Cancel; follow the exact owner manual because repeated Cancel presses can cancel the cycle, begin a drain routine, and then cancel that routine.
    • After the delay is cleared, select and start the desired cycle using the normal control sequence.
  3. Stop before internal diagnosis

    • If the condition returns after the documented external checks, request Electrolux support or qualified service.
    • Do not remove service panels, bypass the door latch, probe live voltage, or access pumps, heaters, wiring, controls, or other internal components.

Actions not recommended

  • Do not reach into wet areas while electrical power is connected.
  • Do not repeatedly reset a breaker that trips again or use a reset to conceal a recurring fault.
  • Do not replace a pump, heater, latch, control, sensor, or wiring part from the display alone.

When to stop and request service

  • The controls do not respond to the documented Delay Start cancellation procedure.
  • The dishwasher still will not begin a cycle after delay, lock, door, water-supply, and normal start checks are confirmed.
  • A separate recurring error code appears.
