What this code means
E24
The oven reached an overheat condition of 500°F (260°C).
Meaning of E24
An E24 code means the oven reached an overheat condition of 500°F (260°C). The Maytag text lists the thermal sensor, the gas sensor, the appliance control board and the associated wiring as possible causes. It applies to over-the-range models.
Reset steps from Maytag
- Cut the power: switch the circuit breaker(s) off for a full minute.
- Switch the circuit breaker(s) on to bring the unit back up.
- Give it one (1) minute and confirm the display stays clear of the code.
- Confirm normal operation.
If it returns
Persistent E24 after the reset means it is time to schedule service.
