Once done, plug it back in and turn it On.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry. I will explain the above steps in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_1_Unplug_or_Disconnect_the_Washer_from_Power_Source\"><\/span>Step 1: Unplug or Disconnect the Washer from Power Source<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"717\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.easilyfixit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/washer-power-source.png\" alt=\"Washer Power Source\" class=\"wp-image-1983\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.easilyfixit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/washer-power-source.png 717w, https:\/\/www.easilyfixit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/washer-power-source-300x173.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The first step to reset your GE washer is disconnecting it from the power source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your washing machine is hardwired, you do not need to un-plug it. Instead, turn off the socket-associated breaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The purpose is to disconnect the power source to the washer, so you can either unplug it or turn off the circuit breaker.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_2_Hold_down_the_Start_Pause_button_for_10_seconds\"><\/span>Step 2: Hold down the Start \/ Pause button for 10 seconds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After unplugging your GE washing machine, look for the Start\/Pause button on its panel and hold it for about 10 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 10 seconds, release the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step_3_Wait_and_Plug_it_back_in\"><\/span>Step 3: Wait and Plug it back in<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Since GE washers have capacitors and other components which hold the charge for some time, it is recommended to keep your washer disconnected for at least 5 minutes, so the residual charge is drained.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After waiting at least 5 minutes, power up your GE washing machine again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your GE washing machine displays a phantom error code or some other issue, resetting it is the best way of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, after following the instructions mentioned above, you&#8217;d be able to reset your GE washing mahcine<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need
