Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from GE's own guidance for CAnCELEd on its washers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Wait out the 4-minute lockout without unplugging the washer.

02

Start the cycle again.

03

If CAnCELEd keeps appearing on loads you did not pause, book a visit.

Cleared?

No part had to be replaced. If a later load stops with water left in the drum or the cycle halts again, treat it as a new problem.

What not to do

A single CAnCELEd after a forgotten paused load is normal. It becomes a concern only when it repeats on cycles that were never paused.

What you may
notice with it.

The washer problems CAnCELEd tends to arrive with. Answer these at the washer before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

Something the washer does by design, or a setting somebody turned on — a child lock, a prompt to run a cleaning cycle, a paused cycle waiting for the door. No part has failed and nothing needs replacing.

In GE's own words

may scroll on the display if the machine was paused for longer than 24 hours or if the machine has stopped itself before the cycle completed due to certain errors.

Questions
about CAnCELEd.

Can I clear CAnCELEd myself?
Wait out the 4-minute lockout without unplugging the washer.
I left my GE paused overnight and now it says CAnCELEd. Is that normal?
Yes. After more than 24 hours paused, the washer cancels the cycle. Wait four minutes and start again.
My GE shows CAnCELEd on loads I never paused. What does that mean?
GE notes the machine can stop itself because of certain errors. A repeat on unpaused cycles is worth a visit.

Still showing CAnCELEd?

Book with the code as it appears, the full model number, and whether any water is on the floor — for a code, that is where the diagnosis begins.
