All GE Dishwasher Error Codes: Full List with Meanings

Quick Answer

GE dishwashers use 2-3 character alphanumeric error codes unique to the GE platform. The full code list includes H2O (no fill), FTD (failed to drain), IH (inlet heater), FED (failed end of drain), 1H (temperature high), 888 (control board fault), CFE (communication fault), PR5 (pressure sensor), and NE (power fault). GE's code system differs from Whirlpool's F-E format and Bosch's E-codes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are GE dishwasher error codes different from other brands?

GE uses a proprietary 2-3 character alphanumeric system developed specifically for GE appliances. Whirlpool uses F-E pairs (e.g., F6E1), Bosch uses single E-codes, and Samsung uses different numeric codes. They do not cross-reference.

Do all GE dishwasher models show the same codes?

Core codes (H2O, FTD, IH, 888, CFE) appear across Adora, Profile, Cafe, and Monogram lines. Older models without a text display show flashing LED sequences instead of alphanumeric codes. Some Monogram (ZDT) models may have additional codes specific to their brushless motor and WiFi systems.
