Questions and Answers

    Why won't my GE RBS160 Ranges surface units maintain a rolling boil?
    • S
      Scott GarzaSep 2, 2025
      If the surface units on your GE Ranges do not maintain a rolling boil or cooking is not fast enough, it could be due to using improper cookware. Use flat pans which match the diameter of the surface unit selected. In some areas, low power voltage may be the cause. Cover the pan with a lid until the desired heat is obtained.

      If your GE Ranges surface units aren't working, check the circuit breaker or fuse in your home and replace if necessary. Also, verify that the cooktop controls are properly set for the surface unit you are using.

    How to fix a GE RBS160 Ranges storage drawer that won’t close?
    • A
      Ashley DaviesSep 7, 2025
      If your GE Ranges storage drawer won’t close, the power cord might be obstructing it in the lower back of the range. Reposition the drawer and power cord. It's also possible the rear drawer support is on top of the guide rail; reposition the drawer accordingly.

    Why does my GE RBS160 oven door glass look tinted?
    • R
      reynoldsfranklinSep 13, 2025
      No. The inner oven glass of your GE Ranges 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. This is normal. Under certain light or angles you may see this tint or rainbow color.

    Why does my GE RBS160 Ranges display flashes?
    • J
      Jill Perez DDSAug 30, 2025
      If the display on your GE Ranges flashes, it indicates a power failure. Reset the clock.

    Why doesn't my GE Ranges drawer slide smoothly?
    • R
      Robin GambleSep 15, 2025
      If the drawer does not slide smoothly or drags on your GE Ranges, the drawer may be out of alignment. Fully extend the drawer and push it all the way in. Also, the drawer may be overloaded or the load is unbalanced. Reduce weight and redistribute drawer contents.

    Why are there scratches on the cooktop glass surface of my GE RBS160 Ranges?
    • V
      Victor OrtegaSep 10, 2025
      For GE Ranges, scratches on the cooktop glass are typically not removable, and are caused by incorrect cleaning methods, cookware with rough bottoms, or coarse particles between the cookware and the surface. To avoid scratches, use recommended cleaning procedures and ensure cookware bottoms are clean and smooth. Tiny scratches will become less visible over time with cleaning.

      If the surface units on your GE Ranges do not work properly, it could be due to a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker in your home. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Also, check to see the correct control is set for the surface unit you are using.

    • A
      Angela LewisSep 18, 2025
      If the oven light in your GE Ranges isn't working, first check if the light bulb is loose or defective and tighten or replace it. If the pad operating the light is broken, call for service.
