GE Washer E60 Error Code

Door lock fault. Here is what it means and how to clear it, easiest fix first.

How to fix GE E60

1. Reset the washer

   Unplug the washer for about 3 minutes, plug it back in, and run a short cycle to see whether the code returns.

2. Inspect the door and latch

   With the washer unplugged, look for a bent or broken door hook, a cracked latch, or laundry trapped in the seal. Clear any obstruction and try again.

When to call a technician

If the code comes back, a technician should test and replace the door lock assembly; this involves removing panels and working near wiring, and the lock is a safety device that must never be bypassed.

Parts that commonly cause E60

• Door lock assembly
• Wire harness

Order parts by your exact model number so they fit.

Frequently asked questions

What does E60 mean on a GE washer?

The control could not confirm that the door lock locked or unlocked correctly. It is usually caused by a failed lock assembly or a loose wire.

Can I fix GE E60 myself?

Only the basic checks. You can safely try the steps above, but E60 usually points to a part or fault that needs a technician.

What if E60 keeps coming back?

A code that returns after a reset and the checks above usually means a part is wearing out. Note when E60 appears (which cycle, how often) and have your model number ready; it helps a technician bring the right part on the first visit.
