How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Turn off power at the breaker before accessing the control board.
Steps:
- 1. Power cycle: Turn off the breaker for 5–10 minutes, then restore power to see if F1 clears.
- 2. Inspect wiring: Remove the toe-kick and inner door panel to access the main control. Check all harness connectors for secure fit and signs of overheating.
- 3. Look for board damage: Examine the control board for burnt spots, bulging components, or corrosion.
- 4. Replace control board: If visible damage is present or F1 persists after a reset, replace the main control board with the correct GE Profile part number.
Because the control board manages all functions, if you are not comfortable with electronic repairs, contact a professional.
