GE Dishwasher Error Code F22

The F22 code on a GE dishwasher indicates that the inverter board has failed or is not functioning correctly. The inverter controls power delivery to the wash pump motor, and when it fails, the dishwasher cannot operate. The required repair is replacement of the inverter board.

No, a reset will not resolve the F22 error. This code points to a hardware failure of the inverter board, and the problem will return immediately or prevent the dishwasher from completing a cycle. The inverter must be replaced to clear the code permanently.

The cost to repair an F22 error typically falls in the range of $150 to $400 depending on the specific model, the price of the replacement inverter board, and whether you hire a technician or do the repair yourself. Parts alone can range from $80 to $200 or more. Labor charges from a repair technician will add to the total cost.

A knowledgeable DIYer with experience in appliance repair can replace the inverter board, but it does involve accessing internal components and working near electrical parts. If you are not comfortable working with appliance electronics, it is safer to hire a qualified technician. Always disconnect power to the dishwasher before beginning any repair.

Running the dishwasher with an active F22 code is not recommended. A failed inverter means the wash pump motor is not being controlled properly, which can cause the dishwasher to not clean dishes, run abnormally, or potentially strain other components. Disconnect the unit and arrange for repair before use.
