NOTE: It’s important to note fault codes should only be used to help identify those components which require testing. Never replace a part based solely on an fault code. The control can generate a false fault if the right conditions exist . Use the code only as a reference and always check the component before replacing.

27″ Top Load Washer
| Fault Code | Problem |
|---|---|
| 1 | Lock Monitor. |
| 2 | Lid Monitor. |
| 3 | Locked Rotor Monitor. |
| 4 | Reset Monitor. |
| 5 | Mode Shifter. |
| 6 | Critical Flood Level by Pressure. |
| 7 | Flood Warning Level by Pressure. Pressure level exceeds 16.5 inches above pressure port. Main micro received and extended period of pressure readings that is greater than maximum allowable fill volume. Pressure 16.5”. Voltage output must be present. Could mean water did get that high due to briefly stuck water valve. Voltage output of Sensor too high for actual water level because of sensor or water in pressure tube increasing pressure. |
| 8 | Pressure Sensor Loss. This determines if there has been a too great of a difference in the pressure sensor reading and the expected pressure sensor reading for the amount of water the control calculated it has put in. It assumes there is a pressure leak, a clog in the pressure hose/system delaying the increase in pressure, or a significant amount water leaking out. |
| 9 | Lid Switch Redundancy. Start attempted for a 4th cycle when the previous 3 cycles have completed with backup micro seeing lid open. Could mean the switches didn’t occur or backup processor didn’t get the signal because of lack of connection. |
| 10 | Mode Shift Feedback Monitor. Signal feedback state from the mode shifter (agitate or spin) and the state requested by the control are not the same and the basket or agitator is rotating faster than 3-4 RPM. Agitate mode feedback signal is no voltage. |
| 11 | Clock Monitor. 1. AC power line frequency is not 60Hz. 2. Software failure. |
| 12 | Redundant Flood Condition. Backup Processor received an extended period of pressure readings that is nearing over-flow levels. Pressure 18.0 Voltage Output must be present. Could mean water did get that high due to briefly stuck water valve. Voltage output of Sensor too high for actual water level because of Sensor or water in Pressure tube increasing pressure. |
| 13 | Redundant Lid Unlocked. |
| 14 | Lid Lock Fault. Signal received by control is indicating the lock will not lock or unlock when requested or the lid switch is indicating open when the signal received indicated locked. |
| 15 | Water Temp Sensor Invalid. |
| 16 | Adaptive Drain/Slow Drain. The total number of times during machine life the actual amount of time the pressure sensor indicated the wash water had drained to empty exceeded the calculated time by the software. |
| 17 | Dry load sense times out and moves to the next part of the cycle selected. This occurs when the washer is not reaching the target speed within a defined time limit for the load type selected. |
| 18 | Drain Pump Clearing algorithm failed. While draining the pressure sensor value for water level did not indicate the washer was empty before the Max Continuous Drain ON time was reached. |
| 19 | UI State Time-out. Washer was paused for over 12 hours. This is normal operation. This will happen if the consumer and or control switched cycle to a paused state. |
| 20 | Critical Flood Level by Gallons. Water volume into the tub exceeded 41 gallons as calculated by the control. |
| 21 | Flood Warning Level by Gallons. Water volume into the tub exceeded 36.3 gallons as calculated by the control. Stops filling. |
| 22 | Out of Balance (OOB) during Dry Load Sense. Large wet/OOB load being washed. This is set if OOB condition is detected during dry load sense algorithm. Dry load sense will be abandoned and wet load sense will be started. |
| 23 | Critical Lid Lock. 1. Lock blockage 2. Lid Lock fault. Will not lock or unlock or is locked while lid is opened. |
| 24 | Lid Logic Failure. Lid switch fault. This fault is set if the system perceives the lid to be both OPEN and LOCKED for 5 consecutive seconds |
| 25 | Pressure Sensor Dropout. 1. Disconnected pressure hose. 2. Pressure tube is pinched or has water in it. 3. Pressure sensor fault. |
| 26 | Out of Balance (OOB) Ended Final Spin. |

Troubleshooting
| Trouble | Solution |
|---|---|
| Small amount of water remaining in dispenser (on some models) at end of cycle | Normal dispenser operation. It is normal for a small amount of water to remain in dispenser after the cycle. |
| Short spray and delay after pushing the Start button | Lid was opened and closed between cycle selection and start. This is normal. See START-UP SEQUENCE in the Safety Instructions section. |
| Water level seems low | This is normal. Water may not cover the top level of the clothes. This is normal for this high efficiency washer. |
| Low water flow | Water valve screens are stopped up. Turn off the water source and remove the water connection hoses from the upper back of the washer and the water faucets. Clean both the hose screens (if so equipped) and the screens in the machine using a brush or a toothpick. Reconnect the hoses and turn the water back on. Check to ensure there are no leaks at the connections. |
| Water siphoning out of washer | Drain standpipe is too low or hose too far into standpipe. The drain hose must exceed 32” height at some point between the washer back and the drain pipe. Use anti-siphon clip. |
| Water won’t drain | Drain hose is kinked or improperly connected. Straighten drain hose and make sure washer is not sitting on it. Top of drain outlet should be less than 6 ft (1.8 m) above floor. |
| Washer spins and pauses at the beginning of cycles | This is normal. The washer is sensing the load. |
| Residual powder in dispenser or clogging of dispensers | Wash water too cold or low home water pressure. Select a warmer wash temperature if possible to improve dissolving of detergent or use liquid detergent. Make sure siphon caps are free of debris and fully pressed into position. Remove and clean tray if clogging occurs. |
| Laundry additives dispensing too soon | Overfilling of dispensers. Do not overfill or add water to dispenser. Select Deep Rinse option when using fabric softener |
| Washer pauses during spin cycle. | This is normal. The washer may pause during the spin cycle to remove soapy water more efficiently. |
| Detergent packets not dissolving | Laundry detergent packet placed in dispenser Laundry detergent packets should not be used in the dispensers. They should only be added directly to the wash basket following the manufacturer’s directions. |
| Unexplained time and/ or settings changes | Changing options (on some models) This is normal. Several options will change other options to maximize washer performance |
| Basket seems loose | Basket moves or rotates freely. Washer basket does not have a traditional brake. Washer basket will move freely. This is normal. |
| “Click” when water stops filling | Relay switch. The relay makes a click sound when activated. The water level activates the relay and stops filling. |
| “Clicking” behind Control during fill | Automatic Temperature Control Valve. Two valves mix cold and hot water. The “clicking” is when either valve turns on or off to raise or lower the fill water temperature. |
| Water flow changes during fill | Automatic Temperature Control Valve. Two valves mix cold and hot water. The “clicking” is when either valve turns on or off to raise or lower the fill water temperature. |
| Motor sounds during spin | Motor ramping up/down during spin cycle. The motor will speed up incrementally during the spin cycle. When spin is complete, it will coast until it stops. |
How do I Reset my GE Washing Machine?
1.Unplug the washer for 1 minute from the electrical outlet.
2.Plug the washer back in and lift and lower the lid 6 times within a 12 second period.
- You have 30 seconds to start lifting and lowering the lid.
- The lid must be raised a minimum of 2″ ensure the magnetic connection on the lid is interrupted.
- Make sure you close the lid completely each time.
3.The motor has now been reset and is ready for you to start a cycle.
