Know Your GE Washer
How GE Washers Are Built
Electronic models sense load size and type before and during fill, and they detect an out-of-balance load and try to redistribute it, which can keep the spin from reaching full speed. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Display and Status / Feature Lights
On electronic top load models the lid locks automatically during parts of the cycle and stays locked until the basket has coasted to a full stop. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Display and Status / Feature Lights
What GE Says to Check First
- Washer not draining. Wait out normal pauses between cycle steps, then look for a kinked or clogged drain hose, a drain set too high, or a clog shown by a Po code or flashing Rinse light. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Will Not Drain
- Washer not spinning. Allow for pauses between cycle steps, confirm power and that the lid is fully closed, and redistribute the load if the Spin light flashes or the display reads balancing. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Does Not Spin
Reading a GE Washer Error Code
| Code | What it means |
|---|---|
| H2O SUPPLY / IE | Water is not reaching the washer; check the house supply and that both valves are open. Source: GE Appliances - Washer - Consumer Help Indicator |
| Po (or flashing Rinse light) | The washer is draining slowly, usually from a clog or a pinched drain hose. Source: GE Appliances - Top Load Washer - Will Not Drain |
