What we can confirm
Signal 01-24, from the manufacturer's own documentation
This code has no number, because this equipment has no display to put one on. The appliance signals it instead — an alarm, a symbol or a pattern of lights — and what it means is recorded in the documentation that ships with it.
The signal
01-24
A number between 1 and 24 on a dishwasher display is hours, not a failure — the delay start, counting down. It is on this page because it is the reason for a genuine share of "my dishwasher will not start" calls, and because the number looks exactly like a code. The maker's own escape is a sequence rather than a button: one press cancels the delay, two cancels the cycle and drains, three shuts the machine down. Knowing that the presses do different things is what stops somebody standing there holding cancel and getting nowhere.

What it narrows down to
Error Code 01-24 indicates that the delay option has been enabled and will begin the cycle once the displayed time reaches 0. Press or hold the cancel button. Pressing cancel a second time will cancel the selected cycle and the unit will start a drain routine. Pressing cancel a third time will cancel the drain routine and the unit will shut off.

What else belongs to the dishwashers
On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.
Other codes this appliance can display
Error Code Hd or HO indicates the unit is in the "Heat Delay" or "Heater On" mode. This delay is to allow the dishwasher to heat the water to the optimal temperature for best performance. NOTE: The colder the water is, the longer the delay time will take to heat the water to the proper temperature. This normally is approximately 1 to 2 min. for each degree in temperature rise.
Error code i40 indicates a clogged filter or sump. This occurs when food soils have built up in the sump; try cleaning out the glass trap and re-run the unit.

About Dishwasher signal 01-24
What the appliance is actually reporting
A number between 1 and 24 on a dishwasher display is hours, not a failure — the delay start, counting down. It is on this page because it is the reason for a genuine share of "my dishwasher will not start" calls, and because the number looks exactly like a code. The maker's own escape is a sequence rather than a button: one press cancels the delay, two cancels the cycle and drains, three shuts the machine down. Knowing that the presses do different things is what stops somebody standing there holding cancel and getting nowhere.
The other ways this one is printed
01-24 · 01 · 24
The same condition is printed differently on different panels of the same make, and every spelling the maker publishes for it is above. Whichever of them you searched for, this is the right page.
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 and counting down by the hour, it is a delay and the machine is fine.
- Press cancel once to drop the delay and start now.
- Press it a second time if you want the cycle itself canceled — the machine will run a drain routine, which is normal.
- A third press ends the drain and shuts the unit off. If the display still shows a number after all three, it is not the delay option.
Where this goes next
The job this usually becomes is 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) 912-9018 and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
