Bay Area microwave repair
If Probe is still showing once the probe has been reseated, call (415) 729-2045 from San Francisco. Give the model number and the cooking function you chose. Microwave repair covers more.
Model compatibility: GE reuses codes across series and model years, so Probe may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Probe indicates an open temperature probe, or a probe that is not plugged in during a temp cook function.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
