A customer in Hiram contacted us about their brand new GE washer experiencing strange issues like running without lights on and a full tank light being on. Our diagnosis revealed software-related faults and an empty detergent tank causing the indicators.
The Problem
The washing machine is brand new but experiencing strange issues like running without lights on and a full tank light being on.
Diagnosis
We checked SmartHQ fault history and found F27 Water Accessibility, F19 UI Timeout (inactive), F89 Accelerometer, and F92 Inverter (historical/install-related). The detergent tank was empty, causing the indicator light.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts replaced
- Work performed: Updated software on both control boards
- Result: Unit fully tested and operating normally. No defect found.
Is It Worth Repairing?
Since this is a brand new GE washer under warranty, any necessary repairs should be covered. GE’s newer smart washers can have software glitches that are easily resolved with updates, making them worthwhile to maintain when issues arise.
Maintenance Tips for GE Washers
- Keep the detergent tank filled to prevent false indicator lights on models with auto-dispensing systems
- Allow SmartHQ app connectivity for remote monitoring and fault detection on WiFi-enabled models
- Run monthly cleaning cycles with GE washer cleaner to prevent buildup in the drum and dispensing system
