GE Washer CAnCELEd: Wait for the Control Lockout
THE SHORT ANSWER
The washer has ended a cycle and entered a temporary lockout.
CAnCELEd can follow a long pause or stopped cycle. Unplugging restarts its four-minute lockout.
Leave the washer connected while the documented lockout completes.
Keep checks outside service panels. Stop if there is leaking water, unusual heat, a burning smell or damaged wiring.
