# Dishwasher signal 01-24

### What the appliance is actually reporting

A number between one and twenty-four on the display is the delay-start option counting down in hours, not a code. It reaches us as a complaint — the machine will not start — from somebody who did not set it, which usually means a hand on the panel while wiping it down. Worth saying plainly rather than sending a van for: the number is a clock, and pressing cancel takes it away.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the appliance’s own display, as a short single code — a letter and a number, or two letters. Nothing alternates and nothing arrives in halves on this make, so what the panel shows is the whole of it. Photograph it before you cut the power. This maker’s own answer to most of these is thirty seconds at the breaker, and that is worth following once — but a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again.

### What to do about it

- Read the number. If it is between 1 and 24 it is hours of delay, not a code.
- Press cancel once to clear the delay. Pressing it again cancels the selected cycle and starts a drain routine.
- A third press stops the drain routine and switches the machine off, which is the way out if you have pressed it twice already.
- If the countdown returns on its own, the panel is registering a press nobody made, and that is a control repair.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 615-5496](tel:+13056155496) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.

Error Code 01-24 indicates that the delay option has been enabled and will begin the cycle once the displayed time reaches 0.
