How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off the breaker before inspecting the power connections.

  • Check breaker and outlet: Reset the breaker and test the outlet with another appliance or a meter to confirm power.
  • Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or crushed sections. Replace the GE power cord if damaged.
  • Terminal block: Access the rear terminal block where the cord connects. Tighten any loose screws and look for burnt lugs; replace the block if damaged.
  • Control board: If power reaches the unit but there is still no display, the GE main control board may have failed and needs replacement.
