How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing controls.

  • Hard reset: Turn off the breaker for 10–15 minutes to fully discharge the control. Restore power and test.
  • Check harness connections: Remove the control panel and verify all multi-pin connectors between the display/user interface board and main control are fully seated.
  • Inspect for damage: Look for signs of arcing or burnt components on the control board. If present, replace the board.
  • Reconfigure (if applicable): Some GE Profile models require configuration codes to be entered after board replacement. Follow the tech sheet behind the control panel for model-specific programming.
