Frequently Asked Questions
•What is the typical resistance range I should see on a functional GE Profile heating element?
A functional GE Profile heating element usually reads between 20 and 50 ohms, depending on the wattage of the element. An open circuit (infinite resistance) indicates a failed element.
•How do I access the service mode on my GE Profile range to run diagnostic tests?
Accessing service mode varies slightly by model. Generally, you press and hold the 'Bake' and 'Broil' buttons simultaneously for a few seconds, then use the temperature up/down arrows to navigate through the diagnostic options. Consult the service manual for your specific model for precise instructions.
•Where is the thermal fuse typically located on a GE Profile range, and how do I test it?
The thermal fuse is typically located near the heating element or on the back of the oven cavity. Test it for continuity using a multimeter. A reading of 0 ohms (or close to it) indicates a good fuse. An open circuit (infinite resistance) indicates a blown fuse.
