Quick answer

What this codemay mean.
A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.
Mean
F24 means too much laundry for the program, or too much inlet water.
On a compact front load Whirlpool washer, F24 can mean one of two things, and a red symbol may be illuminated.
1. Too much laundry for the program
This applies to a program or cycle with a small maximum load. Select and start the Rinse & Spin program to finish the interrupted cycle. Do not overload the washer, and follow the maximum load size in the “Program/Cycle Guide” of your Owner’s Manual.
2. Too much inlet water
Turn off the water faucet.
Touch and hold the Power button for at least 3 seconds to drain the water. Wait until the drain phase ends and End appears on the display.
Turn the faucet on again. If water flows into the washer right away without a program started, close the faucet, switch the washer off and unplug it.
Then see the “Assistance or Service” section of the Owner’s Manual to contact a service representative.
Water running in with no program started is a reason to call (310) 448-6692 about Whirlpool washer repair in Los Angeles. Have the model number and the code ready.
Stop immediately if you notice smoke, sparks, a burning smell, gas odor, or water near electrical parts.
Safe
Important
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.
