Washer stops mid-cycle and displays E22; may not advance to rinse or spin.

Safety First: Unplug the washer and turn off both hot and cold water supply valves before servicing.

Step-by-step:

• Power reset: Unplug the washer for 5 minutes, then plug back in and try a rinse or normal cycle. If E22 returns, continue.
• Check water temperature supply: Ensure both hot and cold faucets are fully open and hoses are not kinked. GE thermistor readings can be affected if only cold or only hot is supplied.
• Access the inlet valve: Remove the top panel (usually screws at the back) and locate the water inlet valve assembly where hoses connect.
• Inspect wiring: Check the small thermistor wires and connector on the inlet valve. Reseat the connector and look for corrosion, broken wires, or loose pins.
• Test thermistor: With a multimeter set to resistance (ohms), measure across the thermistor pins (refer to service manual for exact pins). At room temperature, you should see a stable resistance (commonly 10–50 kΩ). If open (OL) or shorted (near 0 Ω), the thermistor is bad.
• Replace inlet valve assembly if faulty: If the thermistor is defective or the valve is leaking, replace the entire water inlet valve assembly. Transfer hoses one at a time to avoid mix-ups, and ensure screens are clean.
• Reassemble and test: Reinstall the top panel, restore water and power, and run a test cycle to confirm the error is cleared.

When to call a technician: If the thermistor tests good but E22 persists, the main control board may be misreading the sensor and should be diagnosed by a professional.
