The blinking lights "H2O SUPPLY," "IE," or "Wash" and "Rinse" on your GE washer, combined with the lack of water entering the washer, point towards a problem with the water supply

Explaining the Blinking Lights

• H2O SUPPLY - This light specifically indicates an issue with the water supply to the washer.
• IE - Depending on your GE washer model, "IE" might be an alternative way of displaying a water supply error or a separate code altogether. Consult your user manual to decipher the exact meaning of "IE" for your model.
• Wash and Rinse - Blinking lights for these cycles suggest the washer is programmed to proceed with those stages but cannot due to the lack of water.

The "Lid" or "Lid Locked" light on a GE washer indicates the status of the washer's lid and its safety mechanism. 

Lid Light Off

• When the "Lid" or "Lid Locked" light is off, it signifies that the washer's lid is unlocked. You can safely open the lid to add or remove clothes, adjust detergent, or check on the wash cycle.

Lid Light On (Solid or Blinking)

• A solid or blinking "Lid" or "Lid Locked" light indicates that the washer's lid is locked and cannot be opened. This is a safety feature to prevent accidental opening during the wash cycle when water is present inside the drum.

The message "CAnCELEd" scrolling on your GE washer display indicates a temporary pause or lockout rather than a specific error code. This message typically appears when the wash cycle has been paused for an extended period. GE washers might have a built-in safety mechanism that automatically pauses and displays "CAnCELEd" after a certain amount of time (usually around 24 hours) to prevent accidental restarts or potential safety hazards. 

In some cases, the washer might also display "CAnCELEd" if it encounters an error during the cycle and stops functioning. However, this is less common and would likely be accompanied by other error codes or indicator lights.

Here's a breakdown of what it means and troubleshooting steps

On a GE washer, "UE" signifies error code E44, which indicates an unbalanced load during the spin cycle. This means the washer is unable to distribute the laundry evenly within the drum, causing excessive vibration and noise during the high-speed spinning process. During the spin cycle, the washer needs a balanced load for smooth operation. 

An unbalanced load can put strain on the washer's components and potentially damage the machine. The E44 code (UE) suggests the washer's control board detected an unbalanced load and stopped the spin cycle to prevent further issues.

On a GE washer, "dE" signifies an error code related to the door. There are two main interpretations depending on your GE washer mode

1. Drain and Spin Error (For Washers Without a Separate Drain Cycle Button):
   • On some GE washer models, particularly those without a dedicated "Drain" cycle button, the "dE" code signifies a problem with draining and spinning the laundry load at the end of a wash cycle.
   • This could be due to several reasons:
     • Drain Clogged: A blockage in the drain hose, filter, or pump might prevent proper water drainage.
     • Faulty Drain Pump: The drain pump itself could be malfunctioning and unable to pump out the water effectively.
     • Other Issues (Less Common): In rare cases, problems with the water level sensor or control board could also contribute to the dE error.
2. Door Lock Error (For Washers With a Separate Drain Cycle Button):
   • On GE washer models with a separate "Drain" cycle button, the "dE" code might signify a problem with the door lock mechanism.
   • The washer won't start a new wash cycle or proceed to the spin cycle if the door isn't properly locked for safety reasons.
   • This could be due to:
     • Faulty Door Lock: The door lock mechanism itself might be malfunctioning and unable to secure the door properly.
     • Foreign Object Obstruction: Debris or an object caught between the door and frame might prevent the door from closing completely and engaging the lock.

"SU" on a GE washer signifies the same error code as SD - E23, which indicates a problem with excessive suds. Both "SU" and "SD" are variations used on different GE washer models to represent the same error condition. Modern washing machines, especially high-efficiency (HE) washers, are designed to use less water during wash cycles. To compensate for less water, they require the use of High-Efficiency (HE) detergent specifically formulated for low-sudsing performance. 

The E23 code (SU/SD) suggests the washer detected an excessive amount of suds during the wash cycle. This can prevent the washer from rinsing and cleaning clothes effectively.

Here's a breakdown of the code, its causes, and troubleshooting steps

On a GE washer, "PF" typically signifies error code E10, which indicates a power failure or interruption during the wash cycle. The E10 code (PF) suggests the washer lost power unexpectedly during a wash cycle. This could be due to a power outage in your home, a loose connection at the outlet, or a tripped circuit breaker.

Here's a breakdown of the code, its causes, and troubleshooting steps

On a GE washer, "FF" signifies error code E55, which indicates a problem with the washer motor. The motor is the heart of your GE washer, responsible for powering the wash basket's rotation during various wash cycles. The E55 code (FF) indicates the control board isn't receiving the expected signals from the motor, suggesting a potential malfunction within the motor component.

Here's a breakdown of the code, its causes, and troubleshooting steps

On a GE washer, "OE" signifies error code E01, which indicates a problem with draining. The washer is unable to remove the water used during the wash cycle effectively. During a wash cycle, the washer needs to drain out the used water before proceeding to the spin cycle or rinse cycle. The E01 code (OE) indicates the control board isn't detecting proper drainage, suggesting the water isn't being removed efficiently.
