What dE says

An open lid. GE lists dE for top load washers in the 2017 and newer electronic control group, and that is the whole definition given.

  • Lid shows after three cycles have been started with the lid never opened.
  • UE reports an unbalanced load.
  • FE reports water at a critical level.

Check your manual

Models differ in what they display, so the Owner’s Manual is the place to see the full set of messages for your washer.
