GE Appliance Error Codes

GE (including GE Profile, Café, and Hotpoint) uses F codes on ovens and ranges and short letter codes on laundry. Coverage varies by product line and model year, so always confirm against your model’s tech sheet. The most-searched GE codes are below.

⚠ Safety first. Disconnect power — unplug it or trip the breaker — before opening any GE appliance to look for the cause of a code. Gas ranges, high-voltage components, and sealed refrigerant lines are licensed-technician repairs, not DIY territory. A gas smell or visible scorching means you stop and call a professional, not troubleshoot further.

GE oven & range codes

Code	Meaning	Most likely cause
F2	Oven over-temperature	Temperature sensor drift or a stuck relay on the control
F7	Stuck / shorted button	Failed keypad membrane or control board
F9	Door lock fault (self-clean latch)	Door latch motor or lock switch
F3 / F4	Oven temperature sensor open (F3) or shorted (F4)	Faulty sensor or its wiring harness

GE washer & dishwasher codes

Code	Appliance	Meaning / likely cause
E23	Washer	Drain pump fault — clogged pump/filter or failed pump
dLF / dLb	Washer	Door lock fault — lid lock assembly
LEAK	Dishwasher	Water detected in the base — check for a leak

Because GE code sets differ between the GE, Profile, Café, and Hotpoint lines, per-model code pages are being added. Browse oven & range codes, washer codes, or return to the brand index.
