Understanding the E7 Code

• The E7 code essentially tells you the washer isn't receiving the necessary power to function properly.

Possible Causes

• Loose Power Cord: The power cord might be unplugged or not securely plugged into the outlet or the washer itself.
• Faulty Wall Outlet: The electrical outlet the washer is plugged into could be malfunctioning.
• Tripped Circuit Breaker: The circuit breaker connected to the washer's circuit might have tripped due to an overload.

Troubleshooting Steps for E7 Error

1. Check the Power Cord: Ensure the power cord is plugged securely into both the wall outlet and the washer.
2. Test the Outlet: Plug another appliance you know is working into the same outlet. If the other appliance doesn't work either, the outlet might be faulty. Try plugging the washer into a different outlet that you know is functioning properly.
3. Reset the Circuit Breaker: Locate the circuit breaker panel in your home. Identify the breaker connected to the washer's circuit (usually labeled laundry or washer). If the breaker is in the tripped position (turned halfway), reset it by pushing it firmly to the "on" position. However, if the breaker trips again immediately, there might be an electrical overload on the circuit.

Additional Tips

• Avoid using multiple high-powered appliances on the same circuit as your washer. This can overload the circuit and trip the breaker.
• If you suspect a faulty outlet or electrical issue beyond the washer itself, it's best to consult a qualified electrician for further diagnosis and repair.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the E7 error code and restore power to your GE washer. If the troubleshooting steps don't resolve the issue, it's advisable to consult a qualified appliance repair technician to rule out any internal washer malfunctions.
