Possible Causes

Shorted drain pump drawing excessive current, Shorted triac on main control board, Damaged wiring causing short to chassis, Water intrusion on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the washer. Do not continue to run the unit if it repeatedly trips breakers or smells burnt.

  • Inspect pump and wiring: Access the Insignia drain pump and check for signs of overheating, melted plastic, or burnt smell. Inspect wiring for chafing or shorts.
  • Test pump resistance: Use a multimeter to verify the pump's resistance is within specification. A very low resistance may indicate an internal short.
  • Replace shorted pump: If the pump is shorted, replace it and inspect the harness for damage.
  • Control board evaluation: If E24 persists with a new pump, the pump control triac on the main board is likely damaged. Replace the main control board with the correct Insignia part.
