Quick answer
Inverter board not receiving AC power.
Model compatibility: GE reuses codes across series and model years, so F145 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Inverter board not receiving AC power.
Signs
Symptoms you may notice
The appliance may reset, fail to heat/run correctly, or log a supply event.
Some functions can work while higher-load functions fail.
Operation may be intermittent if a harness connection is unstable.
The code may appear immediately after power-up or when boards exchange data.
Why it happens
Possible causes
Moisture, residue, or damage at the keypad/touch interface.
A recent outage or interruption recorded by the control.
A loose receptacle, cord, terminal, or power connection.
Incorrect incoming voltage, polarity, frequency, or branch-circuit wiring.
Loss of supply power or communication to the inverter.
Before you call
Safe checks you can make
These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Check for obvious mechanical overload or obstruction that can be inspected without removing protected covers.
Stop repeated restart attempts if the motor/pump will not start or repeatedly shuts down.
Use one controlled power reset; if the same code returns, avoid repeated resets that hide the failure pattern.
If the appliance uses a plug, confirm it is fully seated and the cord shows no visible heat damage.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
