GE 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. GE writes letters and numbers together with no space, so E22 is one code, not E2 and 2.
GE Appliances, now owned by Haier, mixes legacy GE boards with newer connected platforms. Washers and dryers tend to use E or D codes, ranges and microwaves use F codes, and refrigerators show Er codes. The codes apply to model numbers such as GDF630PSMSS, GDT665SSNSS and GTD65EBSJ0WS; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

Questions
What does the E24 code mean on a GE dryer?
The dryer thermistor reads open or shorted.
Can I fix the E24 code myself?
Often yes. The most likely repair is the dryer thermistor, a part most owners can swap with basic hand tools after unplugging the appliance, and it is usually quicker than a service visit.
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: failed thermistor.
