How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before working on internal electronics.

  • Verify model and board compatibility: If a control board was recently replaced, confirm that the correct GE Profile part number was installed for your exact model.
  • Inspect inter-board harness: Check the wiring harness between the main control and any auxiliary boards (e.g., motor control, UI). Reseat all connectors.
  • Perform configuration procedure: Some GE Profile combos require a configuration or personality setting after board replacement. Follow the service manual to enter service mode and set the correct configuration code.
  • Power cycle: After configuration, unplug the unit for 1–2 minutes, then restore power and test.
  • Replace incompatible or faulty board: If E90 persists and configuration is correct, the installed board may be defective or incompatible and should be replaced with the proper main control board or UI board.
