Café shows Probe after you plug the food probe into the oven socket, as a reminder to enter the temperature you want the food to reach. It is a prompt, not a problem. Café stove display What to do when Probe shows on the stove ### Kind of code Mode, not a failure Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right. ### Usually leads to No repair Enter the target food temperature. ### Shows up as Stove Display Blank or Flashing The clock and display on the stove have gone dark, or they flash the time, a word or a string of characters and ignore the keys you press. ### Make Café A GE Appliances label that lets owners pick the knob and handle finish on their stove. ### Source Café owner's manual 49-2001030, induction slide-in CHS900P Café induction slide-in models (manual 49-2001030). ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Café's own guidance for Probe on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Enter the target food temperature. 02 If you did not mean to use the probe, unplug it from the socket. 03 If Probe shows with nothing plugged in, book a visit to check the socket. ### Cleared? The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem. ### What not to do Probe is not a sensor failure. It clears once you enter a temperature or unplug the probe. ## What you may notice with it. The stove problems Probe tends to arrive with. Answer these at the stove before anyone is booked.

Enter the target food temperature. ### Why does my Café keep saying Probe when I just want to bake? The probe is probably still plugged into the oven socket. Unplug it and set Bake as usual. ### Does my Café wireless probe need charging? Café's manual says the probe should be charged before cooking and not left plugged in while cooking. ### Why does the probe reading jump around on my Café? Café's manual links unstable probe readings to the charger being plugged in during cooking. --- **[Read on the site: Café stove showing Probe | StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/cafe-probe/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
