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. 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.
