SEnSing scrolls on GE Profile top-load washers during load sensing. The lid locks while the washer checks the load size and type, balance and waterproof items, then unlocks when sensing ends. GE Profile washer display What to do when SEnSing shows on the washer ### Kind of code Mode, 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 to No repair Let sensing finish; it is part of every cycle start. ### Shows up as Washer Door Won't Unlock The washer finished or stopped, but the door stays locked or the lid will not open, often with clothes and water inside. ### Make GE Profile GE's upper washer line, with more electronics, extra wash programs and all-in-one washer-dryer models. ### Source GE Profile top-load washer owner's manual (PTW805, PTW800, PTW705, PTW700; GE Appliances PDF) GE Profile top-load washers (PTW700, PTW705, PTW800, PTW805). ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for SEnSing on its washers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Let sensing finish; it is part of every cycle start. 02 Expect a short spin at the beginning of the cycle, which is normal for automatic load sensing. 03 If SEnSing never ends and the washer does not fill, 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 SEnSing is not a locked lid problem. The lock releases on its own once sensing is complete. ## What you may notice with it. The washer problems SEnSing tends to arrive with. Answer these at the washer before anyone is booked.

Let sensing finish; it is part of every cycle start. ### Why is my GE Profile lid locked while SEnSing is on the display? The lid locks during load sensing and unlocks when it is done. Wait a moment instead of pulling on the lid. ### My GE Profile spins briefly as soon as I start it. Is that SEnSing? Yes. Automatic load sensing begins with a spin, which the manual calls normal operation. --- **[Read on the site: GE Profile washer showing SEnSing | WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/error-codes/ge-profile-sensing/)** **[Book a visit with WasherRepair.center](https://washerrepair.center/schedule/)**
