Possible Causes
Corrupted control software, Faulty main control board, Power interruptions during operation, Defective selector knob or encoder
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing controls.
- Power reset: Disconnect power for 10 minutes, then plug back in. Attempt to run a basic cycle (e.g., Normal) without options.
- Avoid interruptions: Do not frequently pause/unplug mid-cycle, as this can confuse the control logic.
- Check selector knob: If your GE Profile uses a rotary knob, ensure it is not loose or cracked and that it aligns correctly with cycle markings.
- Inspect control board: Remove the control panel and check for loose connectors or visible damage on the main board.
- Replace control board: If E80 persists and wiring is intact, the main control board may need replacement. This is typically a technician-level repair.
