How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Always disconnect power and turn off the water supply before removing panels or hoses.
- Verify power: Confirm the unit is plugged in and the outlet has power. Reset any tripped breaker or GFCI.
- Check water supply: Ensure the shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
- Inspect for error lights: Some GE models use status LEDs instead of codes. Refer to the user manual for blink patterns that indicate faults.
- Listen for operation: After restoring power, listen for the compressor, fans, and water valve. If none run, the control board or power circuit may be faulty.
- Basic reset: Turn the unit off for 5 minutes, then back on. If still no activity, further diagnosis of the control board, compressor, and water valve is required and may warrant a technician.
