The error code E31 on a GE washer indicates a problem with the draining process. It signifies that the washer is taking too long to drain the water out of the tub before the spin cycle. 

Here's an explanation of the E31 code, its causes, and troubleshooting steps

Understanding the E30 vs. E31 Code Difference

It's important to distinguish between E30 and E31 error codes on GE washers. While both relate to draining issues, they have slight differences:

• E30 (No Drain): The control board doesn't receive a signal from the drain pump, indicating the washer can't detect proper drainage.
• E31 (Drain Timeout): The washer detects the drain pump is functioning, but it's taking an excessively long time (usually exceeding 8 minutes) to drain the water.

The error code E30 on a GE washer signifies a problem with the drain pump or drain system. 

Here's an explanation of the E30 code, its causes, and troubleshooting steps

Understanding the E30 Code

• During the wash cycle, the washer fills with water to the appropriate level for cleaning clothes.
• Before the spin cycle starts, the washer needs to drain out most of this water.
• The E30 code indicates that the control board isn't receiving a signal from the drain pump, signifying the washer cannot detect that the water is draining properly.

The error code E26 on a GE washer typically indicates a problem with the pressure sensor. This sensor monitors the water level inside the washer tub during the wash cycle. 

The pressure sensor plays a crucial role in ensuring the washer uses the appropriate amount of water for each cycle. It sends signals to the control board about the water level in the tub. The control board thus regulates the water intake and ensures proper water levels for different wash cycles.

The error code E23 on a GE washer can have two possible interpretations depending on the type of washer you have

The error code E22 on a GE washer indicates a problem with the washer's filling process. It signifies that the washer wasn't able to fill with enough water within a designated timeframe (usually around 8 minutes) after starting the cycle. 

Here's an explanation of the E22 code, its causes, and troubleshooting steps

The error code E21 on a GE washer typically signifies a problem with the drainage process. It indicates the washer is taking an excessively long time to drain the water out of the tub before the spin cycle. Here's a breakdown of the E21 code, its causes, and troubleshooting steps

The error code E20 on a GE washer typically indicates a problem with the drainage process. There are two main interpretations of this code, depending on your washer model

The error code E18 on a GE washer indicates a problem with the drainage process. The washer is unable to drain the water properly before the spin cycle. Here's a breakdown of the E18 code, its causes, and troubleshooting steps:

Understanding the E18 Code:

• During the wash cycle, water fills the drum to the appropriate level for cleaning clothes.
• Before the spin cycle starts, the washer needs to drain out most of this water.
• The E18 code signifies that the washer is unable to drain the water within a specific timeframe (usually around 8 minutes after the draining cycle starts).
• This safety mechanism prevents the washer from attempting to spin with too much water in the drum, which could damage the machine

The error code E17 on a GE washer signifies a problem with the water supply process. Specifically, it indicates that the washer wasn't able to fill with enough water within a designated timeframe (usually around 8 minutes) after starting the cycle

The error code E14 on a GE washer typically indicates a problem with the lid lock mechanism. This applies to both GE top-load and front-load washers

Lid Lock Function

• During a wash cycle, the lid lock mechanism ensures the washer lid or door remains securely shut for safety reasons. The washer won't start the spin cycle if the lid isn't properly locked.
