Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from GE's own guidance for H2O SUPPLY on its washers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Check both supply valves behind the washer and open them fully.

02

Wait out the 4-minute lockout; the controls will not respond until it ends.

03

Start the cycle again, and book a visit if the message returns with the water on.

Still there?

It usually turns into water inlet valve repair. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

It is not a drain message. Unplugging the washer to skip the wait does not help: the 4-minute timer starts over.

Questions
about H2O SUPPLY.

Can I clear H2O SUPPLY myself?
Check both supply valves behind the washer and open them fully. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why won't my GE washer respond after H2O SUPPLY appears?
The message starts a four-minute lockout, and the controls ignore every press until it runs out. Use the time to open the water valves.
Will unplugging my GE clear H2O SUPPLY faster?
No. GE says pulling the plug restarts the four-minute timer, so it only makes the wait longer.

Still showing H2O SUPPLY?

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.
