GE Profile Gas Range Probe Sensor Problem
Greetings,
For quite some time now whenever I preheat the oven the probe sensor beeps for several minutes and then quits. I don't believe I have ever actually used the probe. Otherwise the unit works just fine. Obviously I can live with this new feature but suspect that someday the issue(s) will get worse. Suggestions?

Thanks,
So are you talking about the meat probe? Cant you just remove the probe from the oven?

Yes, the meat probe. It is not installed. Never has been. Still in the drawer next to the stove where I put it in 2009 when I bought this stove.
The problem is the probe sensor display on the stove console blinks and beeps for no apparent reason for several minutes while the oven is preheating. Sorry if I was ambiguous.
My guess is this blinking/beeping event is what is suppose to happen when you are using the probe and the sensor reaches the desired temp, i.e., time to take the roast out of the oven. Seems odd since I have never programmed the stove to use the sensor. Maybe I should try it and see what happens. Perhaps a pot of water in the oven w/ the sensor probe immersed would be an interesting experiment.
Some months ago I tried resetting the stove electronics by turning the circuit off for a few minutes. That had no affect.
I'll try my new experiment this evening.

Yes I'm not sure why its beeping then, I haven't run into that issue before.
