GE Dryer Error Codes

GE dryer error codes & what they mean

Your GE dryer is flashing a code — here's what it's telling you, whether you can fix it yourself, and when to call an OKC dryer specialist. Codes can vary by model year, so confirm against your manual.

Call (405) 254-8838

E1

Check airflow, then call

Stuck key or control fault.

Likely cause: A stuck button on the control panel or a panel fault.

What to do: Try pressing each button. If one's stuck or it persists, the panel needs service.

E2

Check airflow, then call

Heater or temperature fault.

Likely cause: Heating circuit or thermostat problem, sometimes airflow-related.

What to do: Check airflow and vent first; if clear, the heater circuit needs diagnosis.

E3

Call a technician

Control / communication error.

Likely cause: Internal control board communication fault.

What to do: Needs a technician to diagnose the control system.

tE

Call a technician

Temperature sensor error.

Likely cause: Failed thermistor or wiring.

What to do: The sensor should be tested and replaced.

Many of these trace back to airflow. Heating and temperature codes are frequently caused by a clogged vent, not a broken part. Before paying for a component, start with our free vent inspection — and if it's the dryer, we'll repair it the same visit.
