What PROBE means

On GE and GE Profile wall ovens with a probe, such as the PT960, PT9550 and JT965 series, PROBE appears in the display as a reminder to enter a probe temperature after the probe is plugged in. The oven is waiting for the target internal temperature, so it will not start probe cooking until you give it one. The same wording appears on probe-equipped Café and Profile ranges.

Common causes of PROBE

  • Probe plugged in but no target temperature entered
  • Probe left plugged in after cooking
  • Probe jack still holding the oven in probe mode
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Enter a probe temperature. 2. Or remove the probe from the jack if you do not need it. 3. Make sure the probe tip is in the thickest part of the food. 4. Close the oven door normally with the probe cord in place.

! Why to stop there
  • If PROBE shows with no probe plugged in, we check the probe jack and wiring for a false reading.
  • We also check the probe itself.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

PROBEPROBE questions
Why does my oven show PROBE?

The probe is plugged in and the oven is waiting for a probe temperature. Enter a target temperature, or remove the probe if you are not using it for this meal.

What if no probe is plugged in?

Remove any cord from the jack and look for moisture. If PROBE stays on, the jack may be reading a probe that is not there, and it should be checked.

Can I bake normally with it showing?

Remove the probe or enter a temperature first. Then start your normal bake setting as you usually do, and the display should return to its regular readout.
