What CAnCELEd
actually means.
CAnCELEd scrolls when a GE washer was paused for more than 24 hours, or when it stopped itself before the cycle finished. Like H2O SUPPLY, it starts a 4-minute lockout.

What to do when CAnCELEd shows on the washerKind of codeMode, not a failure
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.
Usually leads toNo repair
Wait out the 4-minute lockout without unplugging the washer.
Shows up asWasher Stops Mid-Cycle
The washer starts normally, then pauses, stalls or shuts off before the cycle ends, sometimes with water still inside.

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.
Wait out the 4-minute lockout without unplugging the washer.
Start the cycle again.
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.
