Introduction

Model PHS925

The Profile 30-in. Slide-In Induction Range with convection oven and warming drawer features electronic
oven and induction element controls. The induction elements provide unmatched cooking performance and
flexibility. Induction technology heats only the pan and its contents and offers energy efficiency by reducing
wasted heat when compared to radiant and gas cooktops.

The Profile 30-in. Slide-in Induction Range has the following new features:

• Innovative technology―delivers the responsiveness of a gas cooktop.

• Superior performance―induction technology heats only the pan and


its contents, providing an incredibly fast boil time.

• Remarkable versatility―this induction cooktop offers the choice of


19 different power levels, including a 3700-watt, 11" element for large
cookware , warming capability, and a low-heat simmer setting for
delicate sauces.

• Cooler cooktop surface―since there is not a traditional thermal


heating element, the induction cooktop stays cooler than conventional
radiant cooktops.

• Below cooktop venting―dissipates heat, permitting less depth to the


burner box.

• Easy cleanability―cooktop cleaning is easier since spills and splatters do not burn on the cooktop.

• Electronically controlled oven heating


elements―provide precise cooking control with
fast preheating.

• Convection mode uses reverse-air convection


technology―a bidirectional fan that works with
a dedicated third heating element to promote
even heat circulation.

• Performance compensation for 208-volt


installation―boosts power as needed in
multifamily dwellings.

• Cooktop locked out during self clean

• Hidden oven bake element―concealed


beneath the oven floor, allows quick and easy
ash removal following the self-clean cycle.

• Two nickel-plated sliding extension racks

Model PS785

GE's Profile 30-in. Slide-In Radiant Range utilizes 2 ovens with convection cooking in the lower oven. This
range features electronic oven and surface unit controls that combine modern digital technology with ease
of operation. The superior style and performance parallel many commercial ranges.

The Profile 30-in. Slide-in Radiant Range has the following new features:

• Electronically controlled oven heating elements―provide precise cooking control with fast preheating.

• Convection mode uses reverse-air convection technology―a bidirectional fan that works with a
dedicated third heating element to
promote even heat circulation.

• Performance compensation for 208-


volt installation―boosts power as
needed in multifamily dwellings.

• 6.6 cu. ft. total capacity

• Cooktop locked out during self-clean

• New motorized self-clean door latch

• Recessed convection, low-profile broil


elements, and hidden upper and lower
oven bake elements

• Full-extension racks

Oven Door Assembly


The oven door can be separated into 2 assemblies.
The outer assembly consists of the outer door
frame, outer glass, heat deflector, top and bottom
trims, and a replaceable door handle. The inner
assembly is made up of the inner panel, inner glass
assembly, heat barrier, door gasket, and replaceable
door hinge assemblies.

The door gasket forms a seal around the front edge
of the oven liner and the inner door panel. The door
gasket is attached to the inner door panel by spring
clips. When removing the gasket, place a finger
under the gasket beside each clip and pull straight
up.

Inner Glass Assembly When installing the door gasket, it is helpful to fold
the gasket in half and locate the top center clip.
Insert the clip at the top of the door and work your
way around the door.

Assembly Notes

When assembling, make sure the hinges are parallel


to each other and perpendicular to the door liner. If
not, the hinge may bind on the receiving channel of
the door. If the new hinge is not in the cocked and
locked position after installing, place the bottom of
the door against a firm, protected surface and push
the hinge arm down to the cocked position. Pull the
hinge lock back against the door liner surface to
lock the hinge in this position.

Diagnostics and Service Information

Failure Codes
The main logic board has error (F) codes that can be utilized by the service technician in order to quickly
identify failed or improper operation of certain range components. F-codes are not shown on the display
when they occur; they are stored in EEprom and can be retrieved.

Note:

• The oven controls shown below may vary from your model, but the procedures to access failure codes
for PHS925 and PS978 are similar.

• For the first 3 minutes after power up, the F-codes will show on the display.
