Possible Causes
Restricted water supply, Clogged inlet valve screen, Faulty flow meter (if equipped), Defective water inlet valve
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power and water supply before servicing.
Steps:
- 1. Confirm water pressure: Ensure the shutoff valve is fully open and household water pressure is adequate.
- 2. Clean inlet screen: Remove the supply line from the inlet valve and clean the screen of sediment.
- 3. Inspect flow meter (if present): Some GE Profile models use a flow meter in the fill system. Check its wiring and ensure it is not blocked by debris.
- 4. Replace inlet valve if weak: If fill is slow even with good pressure and a clean screen, replace the water inlet valve.
If E5 persists after these steps, the flow meter or control board may need replacement, which is best handled by a technician.
