Introdução
Use the built-in diagnostic mode to read stored fault codes, run component tests, and reset control logic on your GE top load washer. This guide shows the exact button sequence for models that use either a ring of status lights or an 8-segment display. Entering diagnostics lets you confirm problems before ordering parts or calling for service.
