GE tumble dryers fault codes
Every GE tumble dryers fault code we have documented, with what it means. Pick yours to see causes, checks and the parts involved.
● 5 codes documented
GE uses 5 fault codes on its tumble dryers, shown on the display when the machine stops — among them F05, F06, F07, F08, F09. Each one points to a specific part: on this page you find them all, with what they mean.
How to read the code on the display
On most GE appliances the code appears on the display when the cycle stops, or is spelled out by a sequence of blinking lights.
Write the code down before switching off: many machines clear it when unplugged, and without the code the fault has to be found from scratch.
