GE dishwasher error codes
GE, GE Profile and Café appliances show short codes on the display. Dishwashers use C codes such as C1 or C3 and H2O for low water, ovens use F codes such as F2 or F9, washers show letter codes like dE or UE, and refrigerators flash codes such as dE or FF. Models without a display signal faults with flashing lights instead.
