GE Range Error Code Cycle light 4 flashes then 4s OFF, Clean light ON

The Cycle light flashing 4 times followed by a 4-second pause, combined with the Clean light staying on, indicates a Fan Hall error on the GE range. This fault code points specifically to a problem within the convection or cooling fan motor circuit, where the control board monitors fan speed and rotation through a Hall effect sensor built into the motor assembly. The Hall sensor generates a pulse signal as the fan spins, and the control board uses that signal to verify the motor is operating at the correct speed. When the expected pulses are absent or irregular, the board flags a Hall sensor fault.

The most common root causes involve the fan motor itself, the Hall effect sensor integrated into the motor, or the wiring harness connecting the motor assembly to the control board. A failed motor may spin erratically or not at all, producing no Hall signal. The sensor can also fail independently, sending no signal even when the motor runs. Wiring issues such as a broken wire, corroded connector, or loose pin in the motor harness will interrupt signal continuity and produce the same error.

Before replacing components, technicians should inspect the fan blade for obstructions that could stall the motor and cause it to overheat, which can damage the Hall sensor or motor windings over time. Verifying that the wiring harness between the motor and control board is intact and properly seated at both connectors is an important early step. If wiring is sound and the fan does not spin freely or produces no Hall signal when powered, the motor and sensor assembly typically requires replacement as a unit.
