GE Range Error Code 200

Error code 200 on a GE range means the appliance has detected a continuous miswiring condition for more than 10 minutes. The control board monitors how the range is connected to incoming power, and this code indicates that the electrical connections do not match the expected configuration. The code will remain active as long as the fault is present and will clear automatically once the wiring issue is corrected.

Start by turning off the circuit breaker supplying the range, then inspect the terminal block at the back of the unit for loose, swapped, or incorrectly connected wires. Confirm that the power cord type and wiring configuration match the requirements shown on the range's wiring diagram. Also test the wall outlet or circuit for correct voltage, polarity, and a properly connected neutral. If the wiring is correct and the fault persists, the terminal block or control board may need to be evaluated further.

If the fix is simply tightening or reconnecting wires at the terminal block, the cost can be minimal, primarily the cost of a service call if a technician is needed. A replacement power cord typically runs in the range of $15 to $40. If the terminal block requires replacement, parts and labor generally fall in the range of $75 to $175. A control board replacement, if needed, is more expensive and can range from $150 to $400 or more depending on the model.

No, a simple reset will not permanently clear error code 200. Because the code is triggered by a continuous miswire condition, it will return immediately after a reset if the underlying wiring problem has not been fixed. The only way to clear this code is to identify and correct the electrical wiring issue causing it.

It is not recommended to continue using the range while code 200 is active. A miswiring condition means the range is not receiving power in the correct configuration, which can create risks including component damage, electrical faults, or shock hazards. Power down the range at the breaker and address the wiring issue before resuming use.
