Why Homeowners Choose Appliance Repair Pros for GE Repairs
Brand specific diagnostics and correct root cause testing
GE appliances often use specific error codes and diagnostic modes that require technical knowledge to interpret correctly. A generic approach often leads to replacing the wrong part. We take the time to enter the service modes and test the individual components like thermistors, fans, and sensors to ensure we are fixing the actual problem not just a symptom.
Experience across GE Profile, GE Cafe, and Monogram
A standard GE dishwasher is different from a Monogram professional range. We understand the distinctions between the product lines. We know that Cafe appliances often feature commercial styling with residential hookups and that Profile units often include advanced electronics. We tailor our repair approach to the specific series you own.
Respect for the home and clean work habits
We treat your home in Franklin or Norfolk with the same care we would want in our own. We use protective mats for our tools and wear boot covers when entering your living space. We never leave a mess behind. Whether we are working on a dirty washing machine or a pristine built in refrigerator we leave the area as clean as we found it.
Dependable scheduling and clear communication
We know you have a busy life perhaps commuting or managing a family. We strive to offer appointment times that work for you. We call when we are on the way so you are not left wondering when we will arrive. Our goal is to minimize the disruption to your day and get your appliance back in working order as soon as possible.
Service area focus in Franklin and nearby areas
We are a local business focused on Franklin, Bellingham, Norfolk, and Wrentham. We know the local roads and neighborhoods which helps us provide realistic arrival windows. We understand the unique aspects of local homes such as hard water issues in Sheldonville that can affect GE dishwashers.
Common Problems We Fix in GE Appliances
Refrigerator is not cooling (Fresh Food Section Warm)
This is a frequent issue where the freezer is cold but the fridge is warm. In GE units this is often due to a fan failure or a defrost issue preventing cold air from circulating.
Likely causes
- Evaporator fan motor failure
- Damper door stuck closed
- Defrost heater burnout
- Main control board failure
How we diagnose it
We check the fan operation in the freezer. GE fans often have a feedback wire that tells the board if they are spinning. If the board doesn’t see the signal it shuts down the cooling to protect the system.
What you can do right now
Check the air vents in the back of the fresh food section. Ensure no food is blocking the airflow from the freezer.
Dishwasher will not start or beep
GE dishwashers sometimes become unresponsive or beep randomly. This is often related to the door latch or the user interface board.
Likely causes
- Door latch switch failure
- User interface (UI) board moisture damage
- Main control board software glitch
- Loose ribbon cable
How we diagnose it
We test the door switch for continuity. If the door switch is good we check the voltage going to the UI board. GE dishwashers often have a service LED on the main board that blinks a code to tell us if the UI board is communicating.
What you can do right now
Try resetting the breaker to the dishwasher for 5 minutes. Sometimes this resets the logic on the main board.
Washing machine will not drain (H2O Supply or Drain Error)
If your GE washer is full of water and stops it can be a pump issue or a pressure sensor issue.
Likely causes
- Clogged drain pump filter
- Failed drain pump
- Pressure tube blockage
- Lid lock failure
How we diagnose it
We enter the service mode to command the pump to run. If it hums but doesn’t drain we check for debris. GE top loaders rely heavily on the lid lock being engaged before they will drain so we test that switch as well.
What you can do right now
Check your drain hose to ensure it isn’t kinked. If it is a front loader check the small access door at the bottom for a cleanout filter.
Oven will not heat up (Igniter glows but no flame)
On gas ranges the igniter can glow but still be too weak to open the gas valve.
Likely causes
- Weak gas igniter (glow bar)
- Safety valve failure
- Control board relay failure
How we diagnose it
We use an amp clamp to measure the current going through the igniter. GE safety valves require a specific amperage to open. If the igniter is weak it won’t pull enough current to open the gas valve even if it looks hot.
What you can do right now
If it is a gas oven look through the vents at the bottom to see if you see a glow. If it glows for more than 90 seconds without lighting the gas the igniter is likely bad.
Dryer takes too long to dry
GE dryers are efficient but airflow is critical. If clothes are hot but damp it is usually an airflow issue.
Likely causes
- Clogged dryer vent
- Blower wheel stripped
- Heating element (electric) partially burnt
- Moisture sensor coated in dryer sheet wax
How we diagnose it
We check the airflow at the external vent. We also test the heating element in electric units to ensure both coils are working if it is a dual element design.
What you can do right now
Clean your lint filter. Go outside and ensure the vent hood flap opens when the dryer is running.
Refrigerator ice maker froze up
Ice makers in the fresh food door can suffer from frost buildup if warm air leaks in.
Likely causes
- Ice room gasket failure
- Ice maker fan failure
- Defrost drain in ice room clogged
How we diagnose it
We inspect the gasket sealing the ice room to the cabinet. GE has specific service bulletins regarding sealing this area to prevent moist air from entering and freezing the auger.
What you can do right now
Check if the ice bucket is fully seated. If there is a chunk of ice blocking it clear it out with warm water.
Our GE Repair Services by Appliance Type
GE refrigerator and freezer repair
GE refrigerators are complex machines with dual evaporators and advanced control boards. We see issues ranging from fan failures to inverter board problems. The fresh food section warming up while the freezer stays cold is a classic sign of a defrost or fan issue.
Symptoms we commonly fix
- Fresh food section warm
- Ice maker not working or frozen over
- Water leaking under the deli drawer
- Loud fan noise from the freezer
- Digital display blinking or unresponsive
- Compressor not running
How we approach the repair
We start by checking the error codes on the main board. We test the thermistors (temperature sensors) to ensure they are reading correctly. We also check the inverter board which controls the variable speed compressor to ensure it is sending the correct frequency.
GE washing machine repair
GE washers especially the top load GTW series rely on a specific mode shifter assembly to switch between agitate and spin. When this part fails the machine can become noisy or fail to spin clothes dry.
Symptoms we commonly fix
- Washer not draining
- Loud noise during spin cycle
- Agitator not moving
- Lid lock light flashing
- Water leaking from the bottom
- Machine walking or vibrating
How we approach the repair
We use the onboard diagnostic mode to test the individual components like the pump, motor, and lid lock. This allows us to verify the failure without guessing. We also check for software updates which GE sometimes releases to fix operational glitches.
GE dryer repair
GE dryers are generally reliable but the front bearing glide and the rear bearing can wear out causing noise. We also see issues with the control board relays on electric models.
Symptoms we commonly fix
- Dryer squeaking or thumping
- No heat but drum spins
- Dryer won’t start
- Timer not advancing
- Clothes taking multiple cycles to dry
How we approach the repair
We disassemble the unit to inspect the wear items like the drum glides and the rear bearing. For heating issues we test the thermal fuses, thermostats, and the heating element or gas coils to find the break in the circuit.
GE dishwasher repair
GE dishwashers have a unique filtration system that can become clogged if not maintained. We also see issues with the door latch switches and the user interface boards on top control models.
Symptoms we commonly fix
- Dishwasher not draining
- Beeping randomly or won’t start
- Leaking from the door
- Dishes not getting clean
- Soap dispenser not opening
How we approach the repair
We check the fine filter at the bottom of the tub. We verify the door switch operation. On electronic models we check the communication between the top control board and the main board underneath.
GE oven range and cooktop repair
GE ranges are the heart of the kitchen. Igniter failures on gas ovens and infinite switch failures on electric cooktops are common. We also calibrate ovens that are cooking unevenly.
Symptoms we commonly fix
- Oven not heating
- Burner clicking but not lighting
- Electric element staying on high
- F-code errors on display
- Door locked after self clean
How we approach the repair
We test the amp draw of the gas igniter. We check the resistance of the temperature sensor. For electric cooktops we test the switches and the surface elements for continuity.
GE microwave repair
Built in GE microwaves and Advantium ovens use high voltage systems and complex door interlocks. A blown fuse often indicates a deeper issue with the door switches or the high voltage capacitor.
Symptoms we commonly fix
- Microwave runs but no heat
- Turntable not turning
- Sparking inside cavity
- Display dead
- Door switch errors
How we approach the repair
We test the high voltage diode, capacitor, and magnetron. We also meticulously check the door interlock switches which must operate in a specific sequence for safety.
Brand Notes for GE Profile, GE Cafe, and Monogram
GE Profile service and repair
The Profile line brings modern design and advanced features like Keurig brewing systems in the fridge door. These units have more sensors and control boards than standard models.
Common service situations with these models
- Keurig brewer dispensing issues
- TwinChill evaporator fan noise
- Touch screen interface glitches
- WiFi connectivity dropouts
Correct diagnosis is vital because replacing a main board on a Profile unit often requires programming the model number into the new board for it to work.
GE Cafe service and repair
Cafe appliances are designed for the serious cook with professional styling. They often feature dual fuel ranges and French door ovens. The precision cooking modes rely on accurate temperature sensors.
Common service situations with these models
- Oven temperature calibration
- Knob LED lighting failure
- Convection fan issues
- Probe sensor errors
We are familiar with the dual fuel setups that require both gas and 240V electrical testing. We treat the finish of these premium units with extra care.
Monogram service and repair
Monogram is GE’s ultra premium luxury line. These units are often built in and require specific installation knowledge to service. The column refrigerators and professional ranges are heavy duty commercial grade equipment.
Common service situations with these models
- Compressor inverter board failure
- Professional range burner ignition issues
- Built in microwave drawer mechanism issues
- Door seal wear on heavy doors
We understand that Monogram owners expect perfection. We take the time to ensure every seal is tight and every burner flame is adjusted to a precise blue cone.
Understanding Common GE Error Codes and Warnings
GE appliances use specific codes to help technicians find the fault. While helpful they rarely tell the whole story without testing.
- F2 or F3 (Oven): Temperature sensor error. The oven detects an open or shorted sensor circuit.
- F7 (Oven): Keypad error. A button is stuck or the ribbon cable is damaged.
- F9 (Oven): Door lock error. The latch motor or switch has failed.
- H2O (Washer): Water supply error. The washer is not filling fast enough usually due to screens or valves.
- Pr (Dishwasher): Pressure sensor error. The unit thinks there is water when there shouldn’t be.
- C1 to C6 (Washer): Motor circuit errors. Often points to the inverter board on the motor.
- tC (Dryer): Thermistor error. The sensor reading the air temp is out of range.
- 88 or 89 (Fridge): Power failure or board reset needed.
- HRS (Fridge): Stuck relay on main board. This usually means the main control board needs replacement.
Maintenance Tips for GE Owners in Franklin
Keeping your GE appliances in top shape can prevent costly repairs. Here are some tips for homeowners in our area.
- Clean the condenser coils: On GE fridges the coils are often underneath. Vacuum them every 6 months to keep the compressor running cool.
- Run hot water for the dishwasher: GE dishwashers clean best with hot water. Run the sink tap until it is hot before starting the cycle.
- Use the right detergent: For HE washers use only 2 tablespoons of HE detergent. Too much soap confuses the pressure sensors.
- Check the oven gasket: A torn gasket lets heat escape and can damage the electronics knobs above the door.
- Clean the dryer vent: This is a safety must. A clogged vent is the number one cause of thermal fuse failure in GE dryers.
- Descale the dishwasher: If you have hard water in Sheldonville or Norfolk use a dishwasher cleaner monthly to keep the pump and spray arms free of mineral buildup.
- Exercise the gas valves: On your range turn the knobs on and off occasionally to keep the internal grease moving and prevent them from seizing.
- Clean the microwave filter: If you have an over the range unit wash the grease filters in the dishwasher to keep the fan motor from working too hard.

Frequently Asked Questions About GE Appliance Repair
Is it worth repairing a 10 year old GE refrigerator?
GE refrigerators are built well and often worth repairing. If the issue is a fan, board, or defrost heater it is definitely worth it. If the compressor has failed on a 10+ year old unit replacement might be the better option. We give you an honest cost comparison.
Why is my GE dishwasher beeping randomly?
Random beeping is often a sign that the door latch is not making good contact or the user interface board has gotten moisture inside. This is common if steam vents near the control panel.
Do you carry GE parts on your truck?
Yes we stock many common GE parts including oven igniters, dryer fuses, washer lid locks, and refrigerator start relays. Our goal is to fix it on the first visit whenever possible.
My GE washer won’t spin but it drains?
This is often the mode shifter on top loads or the motor inverter on front loads. We can test both to see which component is failing to engage the spin cycle.
Do you service Monogram appliances?
Yes we have the experience to work on the high end Monogram line. These units require a different level of care and knowledge which our technicians possess.
What does the HRS code mean on my GE fridge?
HRS usually stands for “Stuck Relay” on the main control board. It means the board has failed and the fridge has shut down to protect itself. The board will need to be replaced.
How long is the warranty on your repairs?
We stand behind our work. While we cannot mention specific terms here for compliance reasons we ensure that the parts we install are high quality and our workmanship is solid.
