Electrolux Dryer Error Code E24: Meaning and Fix

Reading the dryer display
On a dryer the code shows in the time-remaining window or as blinking status lights. Write down the characters before you press anything, because starting a new cycle usually clears the display. Electrolux uses the same E, F and i prefixes as Frigidaire.
Electrolux builds the platforms behind both its own line and Frigidaire, so its codes line up closely with Frigidaire ones. Look for E codes on laundry, F codes on ranges and i codes on dishwashers. The codes apply to model numbers such as EIDW5905JS, EDSH4944AS and EFME527UIW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

Questions
What does the E24 code mean on a Electrolux dryer?
The dryer is tumbling but not heating properly.
Can I fix the E24 code myself?
Start with the free checks (power reset, connectors, obvious blockages). The likely repair involves the dryer heating element and live-circuit testing, so if the code returns, a qualified technician is the safer call.
How do I clear the E24 code?
Unplug the dryer or switch off its breaker for five minutes, then restart a short timed-dry cycle. If E24 comes back, the underlying fault is still there; start with this: open heating element.
