GE Profile Temperature limiter or control calibration issue.

Electric cooktop element cycles on and off too frequently or does not reach the set temperature.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty infinite switch, over-sensitive limiter on radiant element, poor pan contact, or warped cookware.

Safety: Turn off power before accessing switches or elements.

Check cookware: Use flat-bottomed pans that fully cover the element. Warped pans cause poor heat transfer and frequent cycling.
Compare burners: Test the same pan on another burner. If only one burner behaves poorly, suspect its control or limiter.
Inspect limiter: Access the element and verify that the limiter sensor is properly attached to the element surface.
Replace infinite switch: If the control knob position does not correlate with heat output, replace the infinite switch for that burner.
