No matter the age or condition of your GE appliance, our certified and insured technicians will diagnose and repair it with quality parts and a full 90-day warranty.
Not cooling — fridge warm, freezer fine
GE side-by-side and French-door models frequently develop evaporator fan motor failures. The fan sits in the freezer section and circulates cold air into the fresh food compartment — when it stops, the freezer holds temperature while the fridge warms gradually over 24–48 hours.
Water pooling inside or on the floor
GE refrigerators — particularly Profile and Cafe series — are prone to blocked defrost drains. The drain tube from the evaporator coils ices over when the defrost heater weakens, causing melt water to overflow forward under the crisper drawers or onto the kitchen floor.
Ice maker not producing or leaking
GE Profile and Cafe side-by-side models are well known for ice maker issues — particularly the water inlet valve failing after 4–5 years. Leaking ice makers on GE models usually point to a valve that doesn't fully close after a fill cycle, dripping water into the ice bin continuously.
Error codes: CC, FF, PF
CC on GE refrigerators indicates a control board communication fault between the main board and the dispenser or ice maker module. FF means the freezer fan has failed. PF is a power failure code that can cause settings to reset and the unit to enter a demo-like state.

A client's GE Profile French-door fridge was warm in the fresh food section while the freezer remained cold. They'd unplugged and restarted — the fridge cooled briefly, then warmed again within 12 hours.
Diagnosis & fix
The evaporator fan motor had seized — a common failure in GE Profile French-door models at 4–6 years. Without airflow, the freezer held temperature on residual cold while the fridge warmed. Fan replaced, system defrosted manually, fridge back to temperature within 3 hours. 90-day warranty applied.
Washer won't agitate or spin
GE top-load washers — particularly older models — use a transmission and agitator dogs that wear out over time. When the agitator dogs fail, the machine fills and agitates weakly or not at all. On GE front-loaders, a worn drive belt or failed motor control board is the usual cause of no-spin.
E:23 or E:24 — drain fault
E:23 on GE front-load washers means the drain pump has failed; E:24 means the drain pump relay on the control board has failed. GE washers are less prone to filter clogs than some brands, so when a drain error appears, it's more often the pump or board than a blockage.
Leaking from the door or tub seal
GE front-load washers can develop door boot gasket tears over time. On GE top-loaders, leaks more commonly come from a failing tub seal around the agitator shaft — water appears on the floor during the agitation phase rather than during fill or drain.
Loud banging or vibration during spin
GE top-load washers with the tub balanced by suspension springs can develop weakened springs that allow the tub to bang against the cabinet at high spin speeds. On GE front-loaders, worn shock absorbers produce a rhythmic thud during the spin cycle that worsens as the absorbers compress further.

A client's GE top-load washer was filling and agitating normally but not spinning at the end of the cycle — clothes were left soaking wet. The machine showed no error codes and the lid switch clicked when pressed.
Diagnosis & fix
The motor coupling — a plastic and rubber coupling that connects the motor to the transmission on GE direct-drive top-loaders — had sheared. A common failure on these models after heavy use. Replaced in one visit, full spin cycle confirmed at 800 RPM. 90-day warranty applied.
No heat — clothes still damp after a full cycle
GE electric dryers most commonly lose heat due to a failed heating element or a blown thermal fuse. GE gas dryers lose heat when the igniter fails — the drum spins and the motor runs, but the gas never lights. Both produce the same symptom: a full cycle with no heat and damp clothes.
E1 or E3 error — thermistor fault
E1 on GE dryers means the thermistor is open (broken circuit); E3 means it's shorted. The thermistor monitors drum temperature and signals the control board to cycle the heat on and off. When it fails, the dryer either runs too hot, shuts off early, or shows the error and locks out.
Squealing or thumping noise during the cycle
GE dryers use drum support rollers at the rear and a glide ring at the front. When the rear rollers wear flat, the drum develops a rhythmic thump. A worn or glazed drum glide ring produces a higher-pitched squeal. Both are common after 5–7 years of regular use.
Dryer shuts off too early
GE sensor dry cycles use moisture sensor bars inside the drum that get coated with dryer sheet residue over time. Once coated, the bars read the laundry as dry earlier than it actually is. This is particularly common on GE models used daily with fabric softener sheets.

A client's GE gas dryer was running full cycles but producing no heat. The drum spun normally, no error codes appeared, and the lint filter was clean. They'd already replaced the thermal fuse themselves — it blew again within two cycles.
Diagnosis & fix
The gas igniter had failed — but the repeated thermal fuse blowing pointed to a vent restriction rather than just igniter failure. The external vent had a partially collapsed flexible section behind the dryer. Both the igniter and the vent were addressed in the same visit. 90-day warranty applied.
Not draining — standing water after a cycle
GE dishwashers use a self-cleaning filter on some models and a manual filter on others. On models with a manual filter, standing water after a cycle is almost always a clogged filter. On self-cleaning models, standing water usually means the drain pump has failed.
Dishes not clean or spotty
GE dishwashers with the Piranha hard food disposer can develop issues where the disposer slows down and food particles recirculate onto dishes. Spray arm nozzle clogs from hard water mineral deposits reduce wash coverage, particularly on the upper rack.
Leaking from the door or bottom
GE dishwasher door gaskets can harden and pull away from the tub frame over time. The door latch can also wear, allowing the door to flex slightly during high-pressure wash cycles and let water past the seal. Leaks from underneath usually point to the pump seal or water inlet valve connection.
Dishwasher stops mid-cycle or won't complete
GE dishwashers can stop mid-cycle due to a faulty door latch that loses contact during vibration, a failing water inlet valve that restricts fill, or a control board fault. Older GE models with mechanical timers can also stop when the timer motor fails part-way through a cycle.
Recent repair · Dartmouth Crossing, Dartmouth
A client's GE Profile dishwasher was leaving an inch of standing water in the tub after every cycle. The machine had no visible filter to clean — it was a self-cleaning filter model. No error codes were displayed.
Diagnosis & fix
The drain pump motor had failed — confirmed by running a drain-only cycle and hearing the motor hum without producing any flow. The pump was replaced and two full test cycles confirmed clean drainage with no standing water. 90-day warranty applied.
Burner won't ignite — no spark or weak spark
GE gas ranges use sealed burners with electronic igniters. The igniter electrode and burner cap ports are particularly prone to grease buildup on GE models — the cap design traps debris around the electrode. A cap sitting even slightly off-centre will prevent ignition entirely.
Glass cooktop element not heating
GE Cafe and Profile smooth-top ranges use radiant elements beneath the glass surface. A failed element produces no heat in that zone while the rest of the cooktop works normally. The infinite switch controlling the element can also fail — both produce the same symptom of a dead zone.
F2 or F3 error — oven temp fault on range
F2 on GE ranges means the oven temperature has exceeded the maximum safe limit — usually caused by a failed temperature sensor sending a runaway reading. F3 means the sensor circuit is open. Both lock out the oven until the fault is resolved.
Continuous clicking when all burners are off
Continuous igniter clicking on GE gas ranges almost always means moisture in the igniter assembly from a boil-over or cleaning with excess water. GE's spark module design distributes spark current across all igniters simultaneously — one wet electrode can cause all burners to click.

A client called about a GE gas range showing an F2 error on the oven display. The stovetop worked normally but the oven had locked itself out mid-bake. They'd already tried unplugging — the error returned as soon as the oven preheated.
Diagnosis & fix
The oven temperature sensor had failed and was sending a runaway signal — the F2 code triggered as a safety lockout. The sensor was replaced and the oven tested at 300°F, 350°F and 450°F to confirm accurate readings across the range. 90-day warranty applied.
Oven not reaching temperature
GE electric wall ovens and ranges most commonly lose heat due to a failed bake element. GE Profile and Cafe double ovens have two independent elements — when one fails, only that oven cavity is affected. A failing oven temperature sensor also causes the oven to stop heating before reaching the set temperature.
Uneven baking — hot spots or undercooked results
GE convection ovens can develop uneven heat distribution when the convection fan motor fails or slows — one area of the oven gets more airflow than others. A drifted temperature sensor also causes uneven results: the oven reads the correct temperature at the sensor location but the overall cavity temperature is off.
F2 error or control panel not responding
F2 on GE ovens is a temperature runaway error that locks out the oven for safety. A non-responsive control panel on GE models — particularly GE Profile — often points to a failed touchpad membrane rather than the main control board behind it.
Door not sealing — heat escaping
GE oven door gaskets are clipped into channels around the oven cavity opening. Over time — and especially after self-clean cycles — the gasket hardens and pulls away. Heat escaping around the door increases cooking times and causes the oven to cycle more frequently.
Recent repair · South End, Halifax
A client contacted us after noticing everything she baked came out underdone in the centre, even when she added extra time. The oven display showed the correct temperature and there were no error codes. She assumed it was a user error until a thermometer showed the actual temperature was 45°F below the setting.
Diagnosis & fix
The bake element had burned through at the connection point — not visible from outside the oven. The element was replaced and the oven tested at 325°F and 400°F with a thermometer to confirm accurate temperature. 90-day warranty applied.
