GE Washer Error Code: E23
E23 is a code that indicates your GE washer has encountered a problem related to the flood protection drain. This mode activates when the washer is in a state without any shifts, and the control system suspects an overflow. This suspicion is based on monitoring the water level control input. However, before you jump into complex troubleshooting, it’s worth giving it another try. Sometimes, incorrect loads can trigger this error.
Faulty Water Valve: A malfunctioning water valve can lead to the E23 error. This valve controls the water flow into the washer, and if it’s not closing properly, water can continue to flow even when the washer is off.
Troubleshooting Steps:
- Reattempt the Load: As mentioned earlier, if you encounter the E23 error, consider reevaluating your load. An improper load distribution can trigger the error code.
- Check for Water Leakage: Inspect the area around the washer for any signs of water leakage. If you find water seeping into the washer when it’s turned off, it’s a strong indicator that the water valve is malfunctioning.
- Water Level Control Test: To confirm whether the water level control is at fault, you can perform a test. This involves accessing the GE Front loader service mode. Refer to your user manual for instructions on how to enter this mode and run the water level control test.
