Indicator lights
| Indicator | Meaning | Checks |
|---|---|---|
| Fill light blinking | The washer stopped the cycle and started a 4-minute control lock-out while it pumps out water. GE gives three triggers: a long pause or water left with the lid open, no water reaching the tub during fill, or a fault that stopped the cycle. | 3 causes |
| Lid Locked light flashing | Three cycles were started in a row without the lid being opened. The washer will not start another cycle until the lid is opened. | Checks |
| Spin light blinking | The washer detected an out-of-balance load and is trying to rebalance it. It may not reach full spin speed, so the load can come out wetter than normal. | Checks |
GE Appliances codes on other models
Lid Locked light flashing
The Lid Locked/Unlocked light flashes and a new cycle will not start. Three cycles were started in a row without the lid being opened. The washer will not start another cycle until the lid is opened.
- Open the lid, then close it.
- Select a cycle and press Start/Pause.
Spin light blinking
The Spin light flashes for the rest of the cycle and stays on briefly afterwards; the Rinse light may stay on solid while the washer rebalances. The washer detected an out-of-balance load and is trying to rebalance it. It may not reach full spin speed, so the load can come out wetter than normal.
- Let the cycle finish; the washer corrects most loads by itself.
- If the load is wetter than normal at the end, spread it evenly around the basket and run a Drain & Spin cycle.

Problems
- Lid is locked and will not open2 causes in the manual. First: the lid locks during load sensing (when Auto water level is selected) and during each spin. It unlocks again after load sensing and after spin.
- Washer won't drainThe drain hose is kinked, trapped under the washer or not connected properly.
- Washer won't start or run4 causes in the manual. First: no power: the washer is unplugged or a breaker or fuse has tripped.
- Washer is leaking water4 causes in the manual. First: A fill hose or the drain hose is not connected properly.
- Washer fills slowly or water temperature is wrong4 causes in the manual. First: the inlet screens in the hoses or in the washer are blocked.
- Clothes are too wet after the cycle2 causes in the manual. First: the cycle does not suit the load. Some fabrics also feel wetter after a cold rinse.
- Washer rocks, moves or squeaksThe leveling legs are uneven, or the washer is not level and rubs against a cabinet.
Washer won't drain
The drain hose is kinked, trapped under the washer or not connected properly. Source: Troubleshooting Tips: Water won't drain, p. 24
- Straighten the drain hose and make sure the washer is not standing on it.
- Check that the top of the drain outlet is less than 8 ft (2.44 m) above the floor.
Washer rocks, moves or squeaks
The leveling legs are uneven, or the washer is not level and rubs against a cabinet. Source: Troubleshooting Tips: Sounds, p. 27
- Level the washer by turning each leveling leg up or down. See Level the washer.
Short spray and a pause after pressing Start
Normal start-up. Each time a cycle starts, or restarts after the lid was opened, the cold valve opens twice briefly and then the washer pauses for 10 seconds. Opening the lid during this time pauses the washer until Start/Pause is pressed again. Source: Start-up sequence, p. 4
Washer spins and pauses at the start of a cycle
Normal. Automatic load sensing spins the basket briefly and can take up to 3 minutes before the wash fills. Source: Automatic Load Sensing, p. 14
Water does not cover the clothes
Normal for this high-efficiency washer, which uses less water than older top-loaders. Use Deep Fill if a load needs more water. Source: Troubleshooting Tips: Water level seems low; Deep Fill, p. 24
Basket turns freely by hand
Normal. The basket has no traditional brake. Source: Troubleshooting Tips: Basket seems loose, p. 25
How-to
- How to reset the washerWhen the washer does not respond or will not start and power, water and lid are in order. Do not use it to skip the 4-minute lock-out after the Fill light flashes; unplugging restarts that timer.
- How to clean the water inlet screensWhen the washer fills slowly, or the Fill light flashes twice although both faucets are on.
- How to level the washerAfter moving the washer, or when it rocks, walks or squeaks during the cycle.
