How to fix GE Electronic-controlled refrigerator error code CC (safe owner checks)
- Write down the code and model number. Note exactly what the display shows (CC) and copy the full model number from the rating label, so you can confirm this chart applies to your electronic-controlled refrigerator and order the right parts.
- Adjust the controls according. Adjust the controls according to the instructions in your owner's manual.
- Close the refrigerator. Close the refrigerator and freezer doors completely.
- Clear the code at the controls. Press the System Check button to clear the error code and check for other system failures.
- Do a power reset. Unplug the appliance or switch off its breaker for one minute, then restore power and try again. If the code clears and stays away, it may have been a one-off fault.
- Test and decide. Run a short cycle or restart and watch the display. If CC comes back after these checks, stop using the refrigerator for this function and call a technician, because the remaining causes need meters or part replacement.
