These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Diagnose persistent E24 drainage failure
What they doSiemens Service should inspect the complete hose siphon pump cover wastewater pump and model-specific sensing path when accessible checks do not clear E24.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Switch off before handling standing water
Switch the dishwasher off and disconnect its power safely before touching the filter or pump-cover area. Close the water tap if water is leaking outside the appliance.
Do not touch a wet plug socket extension lead or exposed electrical area.

Clean the model-accessible filter and pump cover
Follow the exact Siemens user manual to clean the filter and check that the accessible pump cover is correctly seated. Remove only visible debris that the manual permits you to reach.
Sharp glass may be hidden in the sump. Wear suitable protection and never probe inaccessible pump parts.

Inspect the visible drain route
Check the accessible drain hose for a sharp bend or crushing and confirm that a recently fitted siphon or disposal connection was opened by the installer.
Do not pull a built-in dishwasher out or disconnect fixed plumbing.
