"dF" on a GE washer indicates an error code related to the door or lid. There are two main possibilities depending on your GE washer model

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 "dF" 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 dF error.
2. Door Lock Error (For Washers With a Separate Drain Cycle Button)
   • On GE washer models with a separate "Drain" cycle button, the "dF" 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.

Unlike error codes that use numbered flashes, "CL" on a GE washer signifies the Control Lock feature being activated. The Control Lock feature on GE washers is a safety mechanism that prevents unintended adjustments to settings during a wash cycle. It essentially locks the control panel buttons or knobs. This feature is helpful to prevent children or curious hands from interrupting a wash cycle by pressing buttons or changing settings.

Here's what you need to know about the Control Lock and how to manage it

Ten flashes on a GE washer built after 2010 indicate error code E00. This code signifies a lack of communication between the motor control board and the timer control board.  In GE washers manufactured after 2010, the E00 code indicates a critical communication issue. The motor control board manages the motor's operation during wash cycles. The timer control board regulates the overall washing process sequence. The E00 code suggests these two crucial boards aren't communicating properly, preventing the washer from functioning as intended.

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

Nine flashes on a GE washer indicate error code E90, which signifies a problem with the brake resistor. The brake resistor is a component within the drive system that helps control the speed and stop the wash basket during spin cycles. It absorbs excess energy generated by the motor during braking. The E90 code indicates the control board isn't receiving a proper signal from the brake resistor, suggesting a malfunction within the resistor itself or its wiring connection.

Eight flashes on a GE washer indicate error code E80, which signifies an overheated motor condition. The electric motor is the workhorse of your GE washer, powering the wash basket's rotation during various wash cycles. The E80 code indicates the motor has become excessively hot, potentially due to overloading, malfunction, or other issues. This overheating can damage the motor if not addressed.

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

Seven flashes on a GE washer indicate error code E70, which signifies a problem with the lid switch. The lid switch is a safety mechanism that prevents the washer from operating when the lid is open. It ensures the washer tub remains stationary during wash and spin cycles for safety reasons. The E70 code indicates the control board isn't receiving a proper signal from the lid switch. This suggests the lid switch might be stuck closed, malfunctioning, or there could be a wiring issue.

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

Six flashes on a GE washer typically indicate error code E66, which signifies a problem with the water temperature sensor, also known as the thermistor. The water temperature sensor plays a crucial role in regulating water temperature during wash cycles. It senses the water temperature and sends this information to the control board. The E66 code indicates the control board isn't receiving a proper signal from the thermistor. This could be due to a malfunctioning thermistor, a loose connection, or an issue with the control board itself (less common).

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

Five flashes on a GE washer typically indicate error code E55, which signifies a problem with the motor itself. The motor is the heart of your washer, responsible for powering the wash basket's rotation during various wash cycles. The E55 code 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

Four flashes on a GE washer typically indicate an error code E54, which signifies a problem with the mode shifter circuit within the drive system. The mode shifter is a component in the drive system that controls the direction and speed of the wash basket during different wash cycles (agitate, spin, etc.). The E54 code indicates the control board isn't receiving the expected signals from the mode shifter circuit, suggesting a malfunction within the drive system.

Below is an explanation of the code, its causes, and troubleshooting steps

Two flashes on a GE washer typically indicate an error code E52, which signifies a problem with the drive motor or drive system. The drive motor is the main engine of your washer, responsible for spinning the wash basket during wash and spin cycles. The E52 code indicates the control board isn't receiving the expected signals from the drive motor or there's an issue within the drive system.
