    What to do if my GE PCS940 surface units do not work properly?
    • J
      joseph42Sep 2, 2025
      If the surface units on your GE Ranges aren't working right or the power setting is flashing, it could be due to several reasons. You might be using improper cookware; ensure you're using the right size for the element. The pan could be too small, below the minimum size for the element. Make sure the pan is centered in the cooking zone and is flat, making full contact with the glass surface. In some areas, the power (voltage) may be low, so cover the pan with a lid until desired heat is obtained. Check if a fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped and replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Also, check to see that the cooktop controls are set properly by pressing On then + or -.
