WasherErrorCodes

The history of the General Electric Company (GE) keeps its count from the 1876, when Thomas Edison created an incandescent electric lamp in his laboratory. In the 1890 he merged all his enterprises into one “Edison General Electric Company» and in the 1892 organized a merger with his direct competitor – “Thomson- Houston Company”. Thus, the General Electric brand appeared in the market.

Still the same types of products with which Edison started are produced under the trademark of GE.

For this moment, there are six units in General Electric, which deal with various spheres of activity. GE Industrial is among them, it produces household appliances, including dishwashers.

In case of a breakdown of dishwashers of this legendary make, we ask you to address to GE dishwasher error codes. Please, find them below.
