Consumer Help Indicator
Your washer is equipped with Consumer Help Indicator (CHI). CHI is our way to communicate a simple remedy for some situations that
you can perform without the need to call for service. The chart below describes the helpful lights you may notice flashing on the display.
Spin light blinking
If an out-of-balance condition is detected by the washer, the Spin light will blink during the remaining portion of the
cycle and will stay illuminated for a short time after cycle completion. When this occurs, the washer is taking actions to
correct the out-of-balance condition and complete the cycle normally. In some cases, the washer may not be able
to balance the load and spin up to full speed. If you notice the load is more wet than normal at the end of the cycle,
redistribute the load evenly in the wash basket and run a Drain & Spin cycle.
Fill light (Water

controls won't respond/change during this time. After the 4 minutes, you can begin your cycle again. If you try to
bypass the lock-out period by unplugging the washer, the 4 minute timer will start over again.
Lid Locked light
Lid Locked light will flash if 3 cycles have been started without opening the lid. The washer will not start another
cycle until the lid is opened. Try opening, then closing the lid and starting a new cycle. If the problem persists, call
800.GE.CARES (800.432.2737) for service.
