I have a GE Profile PGS930SELSS range. I love it. Except for one big thing. When the oven is operating, the burner flames are pulled toward the back right. Pans have to be drastically re-positioned, and it really disrupts cooking.
Here is a gif photo of the flames being pulled back:
Here is a photo of where this 1.5 quart pan needs to be for its bottom to be evenly heated when the fan is on. You can see it’s an absurd amount of offset. I have onions sauteing in there, and I moved it off center until the whole bottom was finally bubbling uniformly:
Normally, when the oven’s off, the pan is dead center and fine.
It doesn’t matter if the oven is baking or broiling, same result. I don’t know if this is a mistake in installation, or just a horrible design. Of course, I do want to be able to use the oven and the cooktop at the same time.
Here is an overview of the unit in its place:
When the broiler or oven starts, heat begins to rise out of the center portion of the vents that run across the back of the unit. This is no problem. After a couple minutes, a fan turns on, and cool air is blown up out of the right side of those vents. It is this fan that causes the problem. A current of air gets established and pulls all the burner flames back and towards the right.
Here is a view showing the vents in the back, and a better view where I stuck my phone back into the back right corner and took a shot with the problematic vent in the foreground:
Thanks for any insights!
