If the surface units on your GE cooktop aren't maintaining a rolling boil, or cooking isn't fast enough, it could be due to improper cookware. Use flat pans that match the diameter of the surface unit. In some areas, low power (voltage) can also be a factor. Covering the pan with a lid can help until the desired heat is reached.
Why is there excessive smoking during the clean cycle of my GE PB980?
If your GE oven is producing excessive smoke during the cleaning cycle, it is likely due to excessive soil or grease inside the oven. To resolve this, press the Cancel/Off button, open your windows to ventilate the room, wait for the LOCKED light to turn off, wipe away the excess grease, and then restart the cleaning cycle.
Why does my GE PB980 does not work?
If your GE oven is not working or appears not to be working, there could be a few reasons. First, check if a fuse in your home has blown or if the circuit breaker has tripped and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Also, ensure that the oven controls are properly set. Finally, check to verify that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode.
Why does my GE oven door glass appear to be "tinted" or have a "rainbow" color?
If your oven door glass appears to be "tinted" or have a "rainbow" color, this is normal. The inner oven glass is coated with a heat barrier to reflect the heat back into the oven to prevent heat loss and keep the outer door cool while baking. Under certain light or angles, you may see this tint or rainbow color.
Why does my GE Ranges control signal after entering cooking time or start time?
If the control signals after entering a cooking or start time, you likely forgot to enter a bake temperature or cleaning time. Touch the Bake pad and the desired temperature, or the SELF Clean pad and the desired clean time.
Why are there scratches on the glass surface of my GE cooktop?
If you notice scratches (that may appear as cracks) on your GE cooktop glass surface, it's often due to incorrect cleaning methods. Scratches are not removable, but tiny scratches will become less visible over time with cleaning. Also, cookware with rough bottoms or coarse particles between the cookware and the cooktop surface can cause scratches. To avoid scratches, use recommended cleaning procedures, ensure cookware bottoms are clean before use, and use cookware with smooth bottoms.
Why do surface units of my GE Ranges will not maintain a rolling boil?
The surface units may fail to maintain a rolling boil, because of improper cookware. Use flat pans that match the diameter of the surface unit. In some areas, low voltage can also cause this issue. Try covering the pan with a lid to retain heat.
Why are my GE Ranges oven racks difficult to slide?
If the oven racks are difficult to slide, especially if they are shiny and silver-colored, it's possible they were cleaned during a self-clean cycle. To fix this, apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks.
What to do during power outage when clock flashes on my GE Ranges?
After a power outage, when the clock flashes, reset the clock. If the oven was in use during the outage, you'll need to press the Cancel/Off pad, set the clock, and reset any cooking functions.
