    What causes areas of discoloration on the cooktop of my GE Ranges?
    • H
      Heather GuerraSep 23, 2025
      Areas of discoloration on the cooktop can be caused by food spillovers that weren't cleaned before the next use. Also, a hot surface on a model with a light-colored cooktop may appear discolored when it is hot, but this is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools.

      If there is pitting (or indentation) on the cooktop, it may be due to a hot sugar mixture spilling. Contact a qualified technician for replacement.

      If the oven won't self-clean, it may be too hot to start the cleaning cycle. Allow the oven to cool down and then reset the controls. Also, make sure that the oven controls are properly set.

    Why is there excessive smoking during the clean cycle of my GE PB980?

      Daniel AndersonAug 25, 2025
      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.

      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 is there excessive smoking during broiling in my GE oven?
    • K
      Karen BishopAug 26, 2025
      If you're experiencing excessive smoking during broiling in your GE oven, it's likely because the food is too close to the burner element. Lower the rack position of the food to increase the distance from the burner.

    Why is my GE Oven not clean after a clean cycle?
    • M
      Michelle RodriguezAug 27, 2025
      If your GE oven is not clean after running a clean cycle, this could be because the oven controls were improperly set. Also, if your oven was heavily soiled, clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean cycle. For heavily soiled ovens, you may need to run the self-clean cycle again or for a longer period.
