The display shows the

NOTE: 

The cycle time is affected by 

how long it takes the washer to fill. This depends on the water pressure in your home. The size of the load being washed also 

significantly impacts cycle time, with larger loads taking longer.

In addition, this display will, “scroll” the washer status:

 portion of the

NOTE: 

Cycle status lights vary by model.

If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the 

Spin

 light will blink during the remaining portion of the cycle 

and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to correct the 

out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able to balance the load 

and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of the cycle, redistribute the load evenly 

in the wash basket and run a 

Drain & Spin

 cycle.

C

Your washer is equipped with Consumer Help Indicator (CHI). CHI is our way to communicate a simple remedy for some situations 

that you can perform without the need to call for service. The chart below describes the helpful messages you may notice scrolling 

on your display when you return to start another load. These messages will provide simple remedies you can quickly perform.

Spin

 light blinking If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the 

Spin

 light will blink during the remaining portion 

of the cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer 

is taking actions to correct the out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, 

the washer may not be able to balance the load and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than

H2O SUPPLY

” 

(Water not 

entering washer) 

Check your house water supply. Did you forget to turn on one or both supply valves after installation or 

coming back from vacation? As soon as the message starts to scroll, the washer will initiate a 4 minute lock-

out period. The washer controls won’t respond/change during this time. After the 4 minutes, you can begin 

your cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging the washer, the 4 minute timer will 

start over again.

CAnCELEd

“CAnCELEd” may scroll on the display if the machine was paused for longer than 24 hours or if the machine 

has stopped itself before the cycle completed due to certain errors. As soon as the message starts to scroll, 

the washer will initiate a 4 minute lock-out period. The washer controls won’t respond/change during this time. 

After the 4 minute period, you can begin your cycle again. If you try to bypass the lock-out period by unplugging 

the washer, the 4 minute timer will start over again. If the problem persists, call GE Appliances at 800.

GE.CARES (800.432.2737) for service.

Lid

“Lid” will be shown on display if 3 cycles have been started without opening the lid. The washer will not 

start another cycle until the lid is opened. Try opening, then closing the lid and starting a new cycle. If the 

problem persists, call GE Appliances at 800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) for service.
