Why is the power arc ON indicator blinking on my GE Profile PHP7030?
A blinking power arc ON indicator on your GE Cooktop can be due to: * Using the wrong pan type; check cookware with a magnet to ensure it is induction compatible. * Using a pan that is too small; if the '21' indicator is linking, the pan size is below the minimum size required for the element. Refer to the Using the Correct Size Cookware section. * The pan not being positioned correctly; center the pan in the cooking ring. * Touching the +, -, or control lock pads before turning on an element; refer to the Operating the Cooking Elements section.

What causes my GE Profile PHP7030 Cooktop pan won't pair or activate when tapping handle?
If your GE Cooktop pan won't pair or activate when tapping the handle: * Ensure you are tapping with enough force; use firm taps on the black plastic endcap. * Check the battery; a low or dead battery in the pan will prevent pairing. Replace the AAA battery, installing it with the positive end out of the handle. * Verify you are using compatible pan hardware; pans with an oval module reading "Hestan Cue®" will not work with GEA appliances.
What to do if unable to reach set temperature in Precision Cooking Mode on GE Profile PHP7030 Cooktop?
If you are unable to reach the set temperature in Precision Cooking Mode on your GE Cooktop, it may be because boiling water or cooking liquid-based foods at high temperatures will result in temperature stalls close to the set temperature. Use temperature settings for pan frying, sautéing, and searing when using Hestan Cue cookware or the built-in conventional Precision Cooktop Sensor. The Precision Cooking Probe accessory can be used to control liquid temperatures between 100-200° F for slow cooking, simmering, and advanced cooking techniques like Sous Vide.
