What to do before you call
1) Write down the exact code and the appliance model/serial. 2) Unplug for 5 minutes — about 20% of codes clear on power-cycle. 3) Don't keep running the appliance on a code; some (leak, overheat, lock) can damage other parts if ignored. We can usually tell you over the phone whether the code is DIY-able or needs a truck.

FAQ
Minneapolis questions, answered
What does E1 (Washer) mean on a GE?
Drain pump. Pump filter or pump motor.
Can I clear a GE error code myself?
Power-cycle for 5 minutes clears about 20% of codes. If it comes back on the next cycle, the underlying fault is still there — power-cycling is diagnostic, not a fix.
Are GE error codes the same across models?
Mostly within a product line (washer, dryer, dishwasher), yes. Across product lines, no — the same code can mean different things on a washer vs. a dishwasher.
Do you stock GE parts in Minneapolis?
Yes — common sensors, drain pumps, inlet valves, igniters, heating elements, and control boards for the volume models. Special parts are next-day from our distributor.
How much does GE repair cost?
Flat $129 diagnostic, waived when you approve the repair. Most GE repairs land $225–$525 all-in. Sealed-system / compressor work runs higher.
Are you authorized for GE warranty work?
We're an independent shop. Factory warranty claims go through GE's authorized network; we handle post-warranty and out-of-pocket GE repairs with our own 1-year written parts-and-labor warranty.
Will an error code damage the appliance if I ignore it?
Some yes (leak, overheat, door-lock, sealed-system). Some no (door-open, child-lock, suds detected). When in doubt, unplug and call.
