Probe on a GE microwave means an open temperature probe, or a probe that is not plugged in during a temp cook function.
Model compatibility: GE reuses codes across series and model years, so Probe may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Open temperature probe, or probe not plugged in during a temp cook function.
A microwave that displays Probe is telling you the temperature probe is open, or that it is not plugged in while a temp cook function is running.
What to check
GE’s instruction is to make sure the probe is firmly inserted into the wall of the microwave and into the food item.
Do not mix it up with
A shorted probe is a different fault, shown as F6. The PF display, by contrast, only reflects a power event.
