GE Profile Heater / Temperature Error

Washer displays error code 8 and may not heat water or complete sanitize cycles.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Failed heater element, Faulty temperature sensor, Loose heater wiring, Control heater relay failure

Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing heater components.

Verify hot water supply: Ensure household hot water is adequate.
Inspect wiring: Check heater and sensor connections for burns or looseness.
Component replacement: Replace a failed heater or thermistor with GE-approved parts. If both are good, the control board may be faulty.
