Kenmore 110 HE Front-Load Washer Code F24: Water temperature reading lost

Medium · inspection needed

Code: F24
Appliance: Washer
Brand: Kenmore
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What F24 means

Kenmore front-load washers with model numbers starting 110. belong to a Whirlpool-built platform marketed as HE2, HE2 Plus, HE5 and HE5 Steam. F24 on these washers reports a water temperature sensor error: the display control board is not getting a believable reading from the sensor that watches wash water. Without that reading the washer cannot manage heated cycles properly, so it stops and shows F24. Expect the cycle to halt early, often around the fill step.

Common causes of F24

Loose or damaged wiring between the temperature sensor and the display control board
Water temperature sensor reading outside its normal range
Display control board input that reads the sensor

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check that both water faucets behind the washer are fully open. 2. Make sure the fill hoses are not kinked. 3. Run a short cycle on a warm or cold setting to see whether F24 repeats. 4. Leave the cabinet closed. The sensor wiring is behind the panels and is ours to test.

! Why to stop there

Whether the sensor, its wiring or the board input is giving the bad reading
Whether the washer behaves normally on cold-only cycles
Whether anything in the fill path is changing the temperature the sensor sees

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

F24F24 questions

How serious is F24 on a Kenmore 110 HE washer?

It means the water temperature sensor is not giving the display control board a usable reading. On this Whirlpool-built platform that stops the cycle until the sensor circuit is sound.

Will changing the water temperature setting help?

It can show whether the sensor only misreads on certain settings, which is useful for us, but it will not repair the circuit. If F24 returns, the sensor path needs testing.

Is the sensor expensive to fix?

The cost depends on whether the sensor, wiring or board is the cause. We test first and give you a written price before any work begins.
