Ge Washer Diagnostic Mode

To enter the water level control test mode on a GE front load washer, rotate the control knob until t06 is displayed in the control panel then press start/pause to enter the test mode. This test has five steps as described below. Once you start the test, the water pump will begin to run and “E” will be displayed in the control panel. The “E” being displayed means that the tub is empty. If the tub is empty, but “E” is not displayed then the water level control is bad. Press start/pause to advance to the next level of the test. At this point the water will begin to run. When the water level in the tub reaches the foam level, “F” will be displayed in the control panel and water will stop running. Foam water level is about ¾ of an inch in the wash basket. Press start/pause to advance to the next level of the test. Water will start to run again and when the tub reaches the main level, “nl” will be displayed in the control panel and the water will stop running. The main water level is about 2 ½ inches of water in the wash basket. Press start/pause to advance to the next level of the test. Water will run until overflow water level is reached. Once the overflow level is reached, “oF” will be briefly displayed in the control panel. Overflow is approximately 6 inches above the door opening. Soon after the overflow water level is reached, the water pump will energize and pump the water out. Once the tub is empty again, “E” will be displayed again. Pressing power anytime during the test mode will exit the test mode.

Note that some GE front load washer models do not have this test mode. This can be a little confusing because you can rotate the knob until t08 is displayed; however, when you press start/pause you hear two beeps and the display continues to display t08.

To enter the cold-water test mode on a GE front load washer, rotate the control knob until t09 is displayed in the control panel then press start/pause to enter the test mode. This is the cold-water valve test mode. Once this test mode is entered, “Cld” will be displayed in the control panel and the cold water will start to run. Cold water will continue to run until the main water level is reached or you press power to exit the test mode. If the main water level is reached before the test mode is terminated, the washer will pump the water out and return to t09.

To enter the water pump test mode, rotate the control knob until t05 is displayed in the control panel then press start/pause to enter the test mode. Once you have entered the test mode, “P” will be displayed and the pump will run for 60 seconds. After 60 seconds it will return to t05. To exit this test mode early, press power to return to t05.

To enter the LED and buttons test mode on a GE front load washer, rotate the control knob until t04 is displayed in the control panel then press start/pause to enter the test mode. This test mode will test to see if each button works and each LED will light. Each light should blink once in a loop. To test the buttons, press each button and if the control senses that the button has been pressed, you will hear a beep. If you do not hear the beep, the button is broken and you will have to replace the main control. Press power to exit this test mode and the display should go back to t04.
