Var searchHostDomain = 's.fixya.net'; var searchHost; if (searchHostDomain.indexOf("beta") != -1) searchHost = searchHostDomain + '/Handlers/Search'; else searchHost = searchHostDomain + '/HTTPHandlers/SearchAutoComplete'; I had a similar problem ... mine was related to a hole in the pressure switch hose (code E22). Inside the washer, there is a pressure switch that senses how full the tub is. It does so using air pressure at the bottom of the tub -- air hose gets "pushed on" by the filling water and causes the pressure to spike in the switch. If you develop a leak in the air hose, the pressure switch never gets flipped. A safety feature engages if the water runs for more that 8 minutes without the pressure switch flipping. E22 is one of the codes related to this event. Easy way to see if this is an issue is to run a diagnostic test.


Check out this posting for how to run diagnostics: http://www.fixya.com/support/t9576766-found_small_part

Test T02 will show you the most recently encountered codes.

Here's a link to the code definitions with problem resolutions: http://www.fixya.com/support/t9556917-ge_model_wcvh6800j_error_code_04


If you do find a pressure switch related code, here's how to fix it: http://www.fixya.com/support/t9807344-ge_front_load_washer_stops_45_min_35_min

Hi
Door latch.
Open and close the door to make sure the door latch is securely fastened.
Check the dishwasher wiring for a possible loose connection where it connects to the house wiring.
Fuses or circuit breakers.
Check your house fuses or circuit breakers to make sure you have power to the dishwasher.
