What error code H2O SUPPLY means on a GE washer

The washer can't sense the water level. Usually a supply valve is off. Rarely it's very low pressure or a pressure-sensor fault. [1]

This is a water fill code. Codes and wording can vary by model, so check your owner's manual for your model number.

How to fix GE washer error code H2O SUPPLY (safe owner checks)

Safety first: disconnect power before you remove any panel or reach into the sump or drum. Do not touch wiring, the control board or the motor. If you see water near electrical parts, stop and call a technician. These steps are based on GE's published guidance [1], rewritten for clarity.
  1. Turn on the supply. Make sure both water supply valves are turned on, for example after installation or a vacation.
  2. Wait out the lockout. The washer locks for 4 minutes (front loads run the drain pump). Unplugging restarts the timer.
  3. Restart. Start the cycle again after the lockout.
