Most common repairs needed to fix a GE Profile oven
Electronic Control Board Replacement
An inoperative electronic control board can lead to various failures in an oven, including a lack of power or heating in the oven, or prevent the oven from turning off. This is because the board serves as the brain of the oven, controlling crucial operations such as regulating oven temperatures, running cooling fans, controlling cooking time and controlling the self-clean cycle of the oven. If the electronic control board malfunctions, it can disrupt communication between many different components. A failing board may prevent the oven door latch from engaging, or may cause a chattering or clicking noise from the oven or emit a burning odor. Due to the potential impact on multiple components, it is advisable to have a Sears Home Services professional conduct diagnostic tests on the board to confirm if replacement is necessary.
Control Panel Replacement
A defective oven control panel can produce various symptoms affecting the appliance's performance. The control panel may be unresponsive, failing to register inputs or adjust oven mode and temperature settings. The display might show erratic readings or become entirely blank. Additionally, a malfunctioning control panel could lead to issues with the ovens heating, resulting in uneven cooking, failure to reach the desired temperature or the inability to heat at all.
Control Thermostat Replacement
If the control thermostat in an oven is bad, it may prevent the oven from heating properly or from heating at all, creating the perception of no power to the oven and resulting in an inability to cook food effectively. A faulty thermostat might also hinder the oven's ability to turn off, causing it to run continuously. If you suspect the control thermostat in your oven is bad, have a Sears Home Services professional address the issue and replace the part if necessary.
Why is my GE Profile oven not turning on?
A GE Profile oven suddenly not getting power could have a tripped house circuit breaker.
Check the house circuit breaker for the oven and reset the breaker if you find it tripped. This may restore power to the oven.
Some ovens have a high-temperature thermostat in the control area that will trip if temperature near the control board reaches 300 degrees or higher. This thermostat will not reset so you’ll need to have the oven repaired when it won’t power up because that thermostat tripped.
A wiring failure in the power supply circuit going to the electronic control board or a defective electronic control board can cause a dead display in an oven.
When you’re unable to find and fix the power problem with your oven on your own, schedule oven repair service and we’ll send a Sears Home Services technician to your home to fix the appliance.
Why is my oven not heating?
If the display gets power but your oven won’t heat, a power problem, failed electronic control board, defective temperature sensor, wiring failure, bad bake element or tripped safety thermostat could be causing the problem. Also, an error code in the display on the control panel will prevent the oven from working.
For an electric oven that won’t heat, check the house circuit breakers because a tripped circuit breaker can prevent the oven from heating even though the display works.
Check the bake element
Shut off the house circuit breaker for the oven and check the bake element for damage. If the bake element is physically damaged, replace it.
Here’s a video that shows how to replace the bake element in an oven:
If the bake element in your oven is different and/or you need to have a service technician replace element for you, schedule appliance repair and we’ll install a new bake element for you.
What to expect when you experience a GE Profile oven no power issue
How is the no power problem fixed?
Correcting most no power problems usually involves replacing the electronic control board, control panel or control thermostat. However, there are many potential causes, so a thorough diagnosis is key to fixing the problem. An accurate diagnosis is essential to understanding how much the repair will be.
Sears Home Services recommendations for an oven that has no power
When the oven has no power it can be for many reasons. To avoid replacing unneeded parts we recommend having a Sears Home Services professional perform diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of the problem. Our technicians are experienced at diagnosing all types of oven failures.
What to look out for with an oven no power diagnosis
Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your oven problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.
No signs of power in a GE Profile oven can be startling, especially if it worked fine the day before. The issue might stem from a tripped breaker, damaged wiring, or a shorted main board. Instead of toggling the circuit repeatedly, get gas stove repairman near me or electric help, depending on your fuel type. A thorough fix brings your appliance back from total blackout.
