Ge Washer Error Codes

All Ge washer error codes with step-by-step troubleshooting, multimeter specs, and OEM part numbers.

24 error codes

CodeMeaning
CanceledThe control board aborted the active wash cycle. This can result from a user action (door opened, cycle selector moved), a detected fault that triggered an automatic abort, or a communication error between the main board and the motor/UI board.

DRAIN-FILTERMaintenance guide for cleaning the drain pump filter on GE GFW front-load washers. The filter catches lint, coins, and debris before they reach the pump impeller. A clogged filter reduces drainage performance and can trigger Error 353.
lowbeginner
Door ErrorThe door lock assembly did not engage or the control board did not receive confirmation that the door is locked. The machine will not start or has stopped mid-cycle due to an unconfirmed door lock state.
moderateintermediate
E2E2 indicates a motor speed control fault on GFW front-load models. The inverter board that drives the brushless motor has detected an error - either the board itself has failed, the motor stator has a winding fault, or the communication between the inverter and main board has broken down.
highadvanced
Error 18The water level sensor detected that water exceeded the safe maximum level inside the drum. The overflow protection circuit triggered to stop additional water from entering and protect against flooding.
highintermediate
Error 27Error 27 means the pressure sensor (water level switch) is sending a reading outside the expected range, or the control board is not receiving a valid water level signal. The machine cannot confirm the correct amount of water in the drum.
moderateintermediate
Error 353Error 353 indicates the drain pump failed to evacuate water from the drum within the required time. The pump motor may have failed, or an obstruction is preventing the impeller from turning.

LIGHTS-FLASHINGOne or more indicator lights on the control panel are flashing. Flashing light patterns are GE's way of indicating specific fault states when the display does not show a numbered error code, or when the machine is in a specific mode.

NOISEGE Washer Making Loud Noise: Belt, Clutch, and UltraFresh Door Latch Sounds
mediumintermediate
NOT-DRAININGA GE washer not draining has standing water in the drum. GE front-loaders with UltraFresh have a drain pump filter accessible from the lower front panel. GE top-loaders require accessing the pump from underneath.
mediumintermediate
NOT-DRYINGThe washer completes its cycle but clothes come out soaking or excessively wet. The spin cycle is not extracting enough water from the load. This is a washer spin issue, not a dryer problem.
moderatebeginner
NOT-FILLINGThe washer starts a cycle but little or no water enters the drum. The machine may display an H2O Supply Error or may simply sit without filling and eventually time out.

NOT-SPINNINGA GE washer not spinning is diagnosed differently depending on whether it is a GE standard top-loader, a GE Profile with SmartDispense, or a GE front-loader with UltraFresh Vent. Each line has distinct spin-related components.
