Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for 18 on its washers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Clean the drain pump filter as your owner's manual describes; lay towels and a shallow pan down first.
Make sure the drain hose is not pushed too far into the standpipe.
Run a wash again; if 18 returns with a clean filter, book a visit.
What not to do
18 is not the lint filter code; on this combo that is 353. Code 18 is about the drain side of the washer.
