CL

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

Activating and Deactivating Control Lock

The specific method for activating and deactivating the Control Lock might vary slightly depending on your GE washer model. Here's a general guideline:

  1. Consult User Manual: Refer to your user manual for specific instructions related to your GE washer model. It will detail the exact button combinations or steps to activate and deactivate the Control Lock. You can likely find the user manual online by searching for the model number.
  2. Common Methods: On some GE washer models, you might find a dedicated "Control Lock" button on the control panel. Pressing and holding this button for a few seconds (typically 3-5 seconds) usually activates or deactivates the Control Lock.
  3. Alternative Methods: On other GE washer models, the Control Lock function might be integrated with other buttons. The user manual will explain the specific button combinations required for your model (e.g., holding the "Signal" and "Delay Wash" buttons simultaneously).

Additional Tips

  • Look for a lock icon on the control panel. When the Control Lock is activated, this icon might illuminate or appear on the display.
  • If you're unsure about the specific method for your washer model, consult the user manual or contact GE support for clarification.

By understanding the Control Lock function and how to manage it on your GE washer, you can ensure your wash cycles run uninterrupted and prevent unintended setting changes.
