GE Dryer 007 / F07 Error Code
Power supply wired incorrectly. Here is what it means and how to clear it, easiest fix first.
The control has detected that the incoming power is miswired, typically with the L2 and neutral wires swapped where the power cord connects to the dryer. This usually shows up right after installation or after the cord was replaced.
Shown as 007 on GE models with three-digit codes and as F07 on CleanSpeak-style models. The sources describe an L2/neutral swap, which points to the 240-volt cord of an electric dryer; they do not say whether gas models use this code.
How to fix GE 007 / F07
Stop using the dryer
Unplug the dryer or switch off its breaker. Miswired power is a shock and fire hazard, so don't keep running it to see if the code clears.
Check when it started
If the code appeared right after installation or a cord change, contact the installer and ask them to recheck the cord wiring against the installation instructions.
When to call a technician
Have the original installer, a qualified appliance technician, or a licensed electrician correct the cord connections at the terminal block. Don't attempt the rewiring yourself unless you are qualified.
