GE Washer Error Code: E57 or E58

E57 and E58 error codes indicate a malfunction in your GE washer’s main control board. The control board serves as the “brain” of the appliance, coordinating various functions to ensure your washer operates smoothly. When this essential component fails to perform correctly, it triggers these error codes to alert you to the issue.

1. Power Cycle: Sometimes, electronic glitches can cause false error codes. Start by turning off your washer, unplugging it, and waiting a few minutes before plugging it back in. This power cycle can sometimes reset the control board and clear the error code.
2. Inspect Wiring and Connections: Ensure that all wiring and connections to the control board are secure and free from damage. Loose or damaged connections can sometimes cause control board errors.
3. Software Update: In some cases, a software update or reset might resolve control board issues. Refer to your washer’s user manual for instructions on how to update the firmware.
