The GE GFW450SSMWW is a current GE ENERGY STAR front-load washer with steam. Front-load GE washers add a door-lock and boot-seal to the standard problem list — a door code (E45) here is more often an unbalanced load than a hardware failure.
GE washers (GTW top-load family) with electronic controls read E codes: E22 (slow fill), E23 (slow drain), E30 (no signal from the drain pump), E42 (motor or inverter, often from overloading), E45 (door thinks it is locked), and E58 (main control). Dial-and-timer models carry no code and are diagnosed by symptom. We clear the drain path and test the inlet valve, door lock, and drive before fitting a genuine OEM part.
