GE Dishwasher Error Code ALL STATUS LIGHTS + BEEPING

This error indicates a control malfunction where the dishwasher's main control board has encountered an internal fault. All status lights such as SENSING, WASHING, and others flash simultaneously while the unit beeps to signal the problem. It is not a cycle-specific error but a general alert that the control board cannot continue operating normally. Pressing START/RESET is the first step to attempt a recovery.

You should not attempt to run the dishwasher while all status lights are flashing. The control board is in a fault state and cannot properly manage water fill, heat, and drain functions during this condition. Attempting to force a cycle could result in improper operation. Attempt a reset first, and if the error persists, stop using the appliance until it is serviced.

If the flashing and beeping return after successfully completing a reset, the control board or a connected component is likely causing recurring faults. Check that the dishwasher is on a stable electrical circuit and not sharing a circuit with high-draw appliances that could cause voltage fluctuations. If electrical conditions appear normal and the error repeats, contact a qualified technician to inspect the control board, wiring harness, and door latch switch before deciding on a repair path.

Pressing the START/RESET pad will turn off the beeper and attempt to reset the control board. If the error was caused by a power fluctuation or temporary electrical noise, the reset will usually clear it and the dishwasher will restart normally. However, if the lights continue flashing after the reset and a new wash cycle attempt, the underlying cause is likely a hardware fault that a reset alone cannot fix.

If the control board needs replacement, parts alone can range from roughly $100 to $300 depending on the specific GE model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs typically fall in the range of $200 to $450. In some cases, a service technician may identify a simpler cause such as a loose wiring harness, which would cost significantly less to address.
