GE Washer Error Code Redundancy Feedback

The Redundancy Feedback code means the main control board has detected that the motor controller is not successfully activating or confirming the lid lock circuit. It is a safety fault that prevents the washer from running spin or agitation cycles with an unverified lid lock state. The error points to a communication breakdown between the main board and the motor controller. In most cases, replacing the main control board is the required repair.

No, you should not continue operating the washer with this error active. The fault indicates the lid lock safety circuit cannot be confirmed, meaning the machine may not be able to verify the lid is secured before spinning. Running the washer in this state creates a risk of injury from an exposed spinning drum.

Repair costs vary depending on whether the main control board, motor controller, or both need replacement. Main control boards for GE washers typically range from $100 to $250 or more for the part alone. Adding professional labor, total repair costs commonly fall in the range of $200 to $450 depending on your region and service provider.

Some aspects, such as inspecting and reseating wiring harness connectors between the main board and motor controller, can be done by a confident DIYer. However, if the wiring is intact, the repair requires replacing the main control board, which involves working with line voltage components and precise reassembly. If you are not comfortable with appliance electronics repair, it is best to call a qualified technician.

A power reset may temporarily clear the code, but it will almost certainly return once the washer attempts to run a cycle again. Because the error reflects an underlying hardware failure in the control board communication loop, the fault will reappear until the root cause is repaired. A reset is not a substitute for diagnosing and fixing the problem.
