What error code Eo means on a GE Profile cooktop

An element overheated or its temperature is increasing too fast. [1]

This is a heating code. Codes and wording can vary by model, so check your owner's manual for your model number.

How to fix GE Profile cooktop error code Eo (safe owner checks)

Safety first: disconnect power before you remove any panel or reach into the sump or drum. Do not touch wiring, the control board or the motor. If you see water near electrical parts, stop and call a technician. These steps are based on the GE Profile cooktop error-code chart (via Sears PartsDirect) [1], rewritten for clarity.

Write down the code and model number. Note exactly what the display shows (Eo) and copy the full model number from the rating label, so you can confirm this chart applies to your profile cooktop and order the right parts.
Check the cookware. Check if an empty pan is being heated.
Check the vent. Check the vents for blockage.
Do a power reset. Disconnect power and then check the fan for an obstruction.
Test and decide. Run a short cycle or restart and watch the display. If Eo comes back after these checks, stop using the range for this function and call a technician, because the remaining causes need meters or part replacement.

The first and last steps (and the power reset) are general owner checks added by ErrorCodePro; the rest follow the GE Profile cooktop error-code chart published by Sears PartsDirect, rewritten for safe owner use.
