What F4
actually means.
F4 is the second of GE's two sensor codes. On a Profile it means the probe that measures oven heat is out of range or open, and GE says the fix is usually a new sensor.

What to do when F4 shows on the stoveKind of codeTemperature sensor
The thin probe on the back wall of the oven sent the stove a reading it would not trust, or one that kept climbing past the setting. A loose plug behind the stove or a probe knocked against the racks is ruled out before the sensor or the board is replaced. If the oven keeps getting hotter with the controls turned off, switch the stove off at its breaker first.

Recipes take much longer or much less time than they should, cakes burn on the outside and stay raw inside, or an oven thermometer disagrees with the display by more than a little.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for F4 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the oven off, press Cancel/Off and let it cool for an hour, as the Profile manual advises for any F code.
Switch the breaker off for at least 30 seconds, then back on.
If F4 comes back, book a visit; the induction burners on top are separate and can still be used.

What not to do
F4 does not mean the induction elements on top have a problem. It is only about how the oven below measures its own temperature.
