On my GE electric range Model #JBP45G I try to preheat the oven but the preheat light keeps flashing and the cook time light keeps flashing. The burners work but the oven is not heating up.

Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. From what you have described it seems to be an oven temperature sensor circuit failure. To resolve this issue you'll have to check the oven temp. sensor circuit if the reading is more then 1100ohms then it should be replaced however, if the rating is fine then it is the electronic control that has gone bad & should be replaced. Please accept the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.

Thanks
Rylee

I am going to need some information in order to fully diagnose the problem with the oven.

The oven should be blinking a fault code. It will be an F followed by a number. Example, F1. Which is the code for a stuck key pad. The solution for this is to try all of the buttons and see if one un-sticks.

Please look at the display and tell me if it shows an error code so I can tell you what they oven is saying the problem is with.

Thank you for the opportunity to help you.

    Okay. Code PF is simply, "Power Failure". So presumably you lost power recently. To clear the code, press and hold the Clear/Off button until it clears the code.

    Try to preheat the oven again.

    If the still fails to preheat, then you may have gotten a power surge that may have damaged the electronic control unit.

    If the unit give you a code other then "PF" please let me know.

    I hope this information is helpful. Thanks again for allowing me to assist you.

How to change lower element in DeLonghi Airstream Convectio Oven

  • How to change lower element in DeLonghi Airstream Convectio Oven??

  • Preheat ovens only when necessary. With conventional ovens, keep the preheating time to a minimum. Unless you're baking breads or pastries, you may not need to preheat the oven at all.
  • Food cooks more quickly and efficiently in ovens when air can circulate freely. Don't lay foils on racks. If possible, stagger pans on upper and lower racks to improve air flow.
  • Use glass or ceramic pans in ovens. You can turn down the temperature about 25°F and cook foods just as quickly.
  • Do not open the oven door often to preview the food. Each time you open the door the oven temperature drops by 25°F. Watch the clock or use a timer instead.
  • Full-size ovens are not very efficient for cooking small- to medium-sized meals, it generally pays to use toaster ovens or microwave ovens.
  • Check to be sure the oven door gasket is tight. Adjust or replace gaskets as required.
  • If you have a self-cleaning oven, consider using the self-cleaning feature immediately after regular baking when the oven is still hot. Less energy will be required to reach the cleaning temperature. Try not to use the self-cleaning feature too often.
  • Keep range-top burners and reflectors clean; they will reflect the heat better and save energy.
  • Match the size of the pan to the heating element; more heat will get to the pan and less will be lost to the surrounding air. A 6-inch pan on a 8-inch burner will waste over 40% of the energy.
  • On electric stove-tops, use only flat-bottomed pans that make full contact with the element. A warped or rounded pan will waste most of the heat.
  • When cooking with a gas range-top burner, use moderate flame settings to conserve gas. Also make sure the pilot light is burning efficiently, with a blue flame. A yellowish flame indicates an adjustment is needed because the gas is burning inefficiently.
  • Whenever possible, use a pressure cooker. By cooking food at a higher temperature and pressure, cooking time is reduced dramatically and energy use is cut by 50-75%.

    Why oven cools automatically after preheat

    Others are having problems with this unit. Have the manufacturer support their product and fix it. It should be covered if it is new. Don't delay in hounding them. Time will expire and you will be left with an expensive ordeal.

    My oven, model 38HN-6TVW won't preheat

    I was unable to get the full model to come up. I was able to get a Magic chef range to come up. I would replace the control and oven thermostat.

    Oven not working properly

    I just solved this problem with my GE gas range. I waited forever for the oven to warm up. The igniter would glow, light the burner and burn for a minute or so and go out. It would repeat this process till oven reached operating temp, which took forever. Problem is in the igniter. It may be glowing, but it is not letting the gas valve stay open, because it is not hot enough to create resistance in it to keep gas valve open. I had replaced the thermostat thinking it was the problem. The good part about it was I could take it back because my buddy works at supply house. Once the igniter was replaced, the oven fired up and stayed lit till operating temp was reached. It will also hold the oven temp much better. Oh yea, the igniter will stay glowing while the burner is on. Hope this helps.
