GE Washing Machine Error Codes
16 error codes with causes and fixes
- E000No active faults in diagnostic memoryE000 corresponds to GE's E00 state—diagnostics found no active fault codes in memory. If the washer misbehaves, an intermittent issue may have cleared or the failure is outside the self-test list.
- E001Main control communication or memory faultE001 indicates the main control or motor control unit failed communication or memory check—similar to GE CCU faults on 24-inch front-load platforms.
- E002Door lock circuit faultE002 maps to GE's door lock fault—the machine will not fill or spin until the door lock confirms closed.
- E003Motor overcurrent detectedE003 means excessive current on the drive motor—often overload, jam, or failing motor inverter.
- E004Water inlet valve problemE004 indicates the inlet valve circuit failed—valves not opening, stuck open, or not reporting correctly.
- E005Drain pump problem or long drainE005 means drain timed out—the pump ran but water remained, matching GE 5E on front-load washers.
- E006Motor cannot reach target speedE006 corresponds to motor speed faults—drum commanded to spin but RPM feedback never reached target.
- E007Pressure sensor or water level faultE007 means the pressure switch or sensor did not report a valid water level during fill or drain.
- E008Heater relay error on main boardE008 indicates the heater relay on the main control failed—internal heat models cannot warm water.
- E009Under-voltage on supply lineE009 means line voltage dropped below the safe minimum—often shared circuits or loose connections.
- E010Over-voltage on supply lineE010 indicates supply voltage exceeded the upper safe limit.
- E011Water or exhaust thermistor faultE011 maps to GE tE—temperature sensor out of range on heat or monitoring circuits.
- E012Leakage detected in tub or baseE012 is GE's leakage fault—moisture detected where it should not be, often at the door boot or sump.
- E013Overflow or overfill detectedE013 means the water level exceeded maximum—pressure switch saw overfill or inlet valve stuck open.
- E014Unbalanced load before high-speed spinE014 is GE's unbalanced load fault—spin aborted when weight distribution prevented safe RPM.
- E2Drain pump unable to empty tubE2 on GE washers indicates a drain failure—the pump ran but water level did not drop enough before the next cycle step.
