GE Refrigerator Error Codes — Complete List

GE refrigerators show a small, readable set: FF when frozen food may be thawing, dE when the defrost system hasn't worked properly in 24 hours, CC when the fresh-food temperature is wrong, CI as a check-icemaker prompt, and PF after a power interruption.

• FF FF on a GE refrigerator is a freezer-temperature alarm: the freezer ran too warm, usually from a door-seal or airflow problem before any parts failure.
• PF PF on a GE refrigerator means power was interrupted. It's a notice, not a fault: check the contents, clear the message, and only investigate further if PF keeps returning.
• CI CI is GE's 'check icemaker' advisory: the icemaker isn't working right. The arm, an ice dam, and the icemaker's test switch settle most cases.
• dE dE on a GE refrigerator is the defrost alarm: the unit hasn't completed a defrost in 24 hours, so frost is building on the evaporator. Seals and ventilation first, then the defrost loop.
• CC CC on a GE refrigerator is a temperature-check message for the fresh-food section: the fridge is running too warm or the reading is off. Vents and load first, then the sensor.

GE notes that its list doesn't include every code. Lower-case dE is the defrost alarm; upper-case DE is demo mode.
