GE Washer Error Code 67

Error code 67 on a GE washer indicates a Drive Motor Inverter Fault, meaning the inverter board that controls the drive motor has detected and reported a fault condition. The inverter board is responsible for converting power into the variable signal needed to spin the motor. When this fault occurs, the washer stops operation to prevent damage. Diagnosis begins with running Service Mode test 11, the Spin Test, to full completion.

You should not continue using the washer while error code 67 is active. The inverter board has detected a fault and shut down motor operation as a protective measure. Running the machine in this condition could cause further damage to the motor, inverter board, or related wiring. Diagnose and resolve the fault before resuming normal laundry cycles.

A power reset may temporarily clear error code 67, but if the underlying fault condition is still present, the code will return when the washer attempts a spin cycle. A reset alone is not a fix. The correct approach is to perform Service Mode test 11, the Spin Test, to confirm whether the fault is reproducible, and then address the specific cause such as the inverter board, motor, or wiring.

Some causes of error code 67, such as a loose wiring harness connector or a thermal issue from lint buildup, can be addressed without replacing parts. However, if the inverter board or drive motor has failed, those components will need to be replaced, which requires comfort working with appliance electronics and disassembly. Running the Service Mode Spin Test first helps narrow down whether the fault is consistent or intermittent before ordering parts.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If only a wiring harness inspection and reconnection are needed, costs may be minimal beyond a service call fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150. Replacing the drive motor inverter board generally costs between $150 and $350 in parts and labor. A full drive motor replacement can bring total repair costs to the range of $200 to $450 or more depending on the model and labor rates in your area.
