# GE Profile induction range with a flashing power setting

On GE Profile induction ranges, an element whose power setting flashes has usually rejected the pan.

## What Flashing power setting actually means.

On GE Profile induction ranges, an element whose power setting flashes has usually rejected the pan. GE lists a pan that is not magnetic, one below the minimum size, one that is off-center, or one that does not sit flat on the glass.

GE Profile range display

What to do when Flashing power setting shows on the range

### Kind of code Surface elements and induction

A radiant element, a coil or an induction zone did not heat the way the control expected, or ran hotter than it should. The pan, the switch behind the knob and the wiring to the element come first; on induction, the power board and the coil under the glass are checked next. A zone that will not switch off, or a crack in the glass, means the breaker goes off before anything else.

### Usually leads to Surface element and glass top repair

Electric zones that stay cold, run too hot or will not switch off, and cracked or damaged glass on radiant and induction models.

### Shows up as Induction Range Not Detecting Pan

An induction zone flashes, beeps, shows its no-pan symbol or switches itself off, even with a pan sitting right on it.

### Make GE Profile

GE Profile induction ranges PHS930 and PHS93E (manual 49-2000990).

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for Flashing power setting on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Test the pan with a magnet; induction needs a pan it will hold.

02

Use a flat pan at least the minimum size for that element and center it.

03

If a suitable pan still gets no heat, book a visit.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [surface element and glass top repair](https://rangerepair.center/services/surface-element-and-glass-top-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

A flashing setting is not proof of a burned-out coil; the pan is checked first.

## Questions about Flashing power setting.

### Can I clear Flashing power setting myself?

Test the pan with a magnet; induction needs a pan it will hold. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why does my GE Profile induction element flash with my old pan?

Most likely the pan is not magnetic or too small for that ring. GE's manual suggests the magnet test first.

### Can a flashing setting on a GE Profile mean a real failure?

Yes, if a flat, magnetic, correctly sized pan is centered and it still flashes. Then the coil and its board are tested.
