dE on a 2017 and newer electronic control GE top load washer indicates the lid is open.
Model compatibility: GE reuses codes across series and model years, so dE 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
dE indicates that the lid is open.
The dE message on a GE top load washer indicates the lid is open. It is listed for 2017 and newer electronic control washers.
Keep it apart from similar messages
A lowercase d followed by a capital E is easy to mix up with other washer messages. For a stuck start after repeated cycles, the Lid message is the one to read. Unbalanced loads show UE, and a critical water level shows FE.
Your manual
Messages may vary by model, so the Owner’s Manual for your washer is the best place to see everything your display can show.
