What Two furthest lights flashing means
On GE top-load washers from 2015 on that have no text display, two indicator lights at the far end of the row flashing together mean an error has occurred. It carries the same meaning as the scrolling CAnCELEd message on display models. The washer has stopped the cycle on its own because the control saw a condition it could not run through, and it does not say which one. Models like the GTW465 and GTW335 show this as the lights blinking while the cycle sits idle.
Common causes of Two furthest lights flashing
- Cycle stopped by a condition the control could not run through
- Drain restriction or slow draining
- Water supply or lid condition earlier in the cycle
- Momentary power or control interruption
1. Select Drain & Spin and press Start. 2. If the lights keep flashing, disconnect power for 1 minute, then reconnect it. 3. Restart the previous cycle or run Drain & Spin. 4. Check that the drain hose is not kinked behind the washer. 5. If the pattern comes back, stop and let us check it.
- Because the lights do not name the cause, we trace drain, fill and lid circuits one at a time.
- A repeat after the power reset suggests a real condition rather than a one-time interruption.
- We quote in writing before work starts, and the repair has a 30-day workmanship warranty.

What does it mean when the two furthest lights flash on my GE washer?
It is a general error indication on no-display models, matching the CAnCELEd message on display models. The washer stopped itself, and Drain & Spin is the first step to clear the tub.
Is it safe to unplug the washer for a minute?
Yes, that is the step for this pattern: disconnect power for one minute, reconnect, and then restart the previous cycle or run Drain & Spin. Do not open any panels.
Why does it not tell me what went wrong?
A no-display washer has only lights to work with, so one pattern covers several stop conditions. We narrow it down by checking drain, fill and lid circuits in turn.
