0800 on a GE appliance is commonly associated with: RFID-board hardware/filter-detection fault; check filter orientation. Exact meaning can vary by model family — confirm against your model documentation.
Model compatibility: GE reuses codes across series and model years, so 0800 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
