Thank you for a great tip on the ge burners. A lot of people are very unhappy with the new technology that limits cooking temperatures. Some people I know have thrown out these burners and replaced them with old style non sensor burners. Great video.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!! You saved me. This method works. I just moved to a new apartment, I was unable to cook for 3 weeks and the maintenance guy were clueless about this problem and I started to worry. But Your method really save me. Thanks again.
Dumb? Dumb is making statements like this when regulations are passed that try to keep your house from burning down from a grease fire and possibly saving you and your family's lives. 'Dumb' are the ones that are too stupid to understand this concept.
My friend you saved my life I was about to throw this stove off my balcony. Burner works perfect now and also works woth all heat settings. Awesome you save me 150.00 bucks from buying regular ones.
@@bismakhan3815I'm assuming you can order burners that fit without the sense-temp and just put them in like you would the original sense-temp burners. These are weird. With my stove they get just as hot set at a 5 as they do with a 10. Just takes longer. 🤔
Thank you so much for the tip. It was making me crazy trying to cook on my range but after following your solution I'm back in business and very grateful to you.
Excellent video. Deserves many more likes. The solution worked. For those who open up the sensor, you'll see two "tongs" with wires attached to them. I was confused by the down/up description in the video but the idea is to get those two tongs to meet. You'll be set! Thanks again for the video.
Thanks for your video. It's a shame that we have to resort to hot-wiring our new stoves to compensate for half-wits who work for a billion dollar company that couldn't figure out how to do it right in the first place.
Yes...half-wits passing regulations that try to keep your house from burning down from a grease fire and possibly saving you and your family's lives. The half-wits are the ones that are too stupid to understand this concept.
Thank you for this, moved into New home and they had this style burner and it drove me insane and I couldn't even fry bacon without it shutting off. I only use all-clad cookware so it doesn't deflect to cause the Hutton to come up, thus shutting off the burner. This fix, now all my burners stay the temp I want them. TY again!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this info Sir , my staple food is “Naan” and with this burner I couldn’t cook that at all, thank you so much for sharing this trick now I can cook my diner ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻😀
Thank you so much for making this video. We have the same stove. I've been trying to figure out why they get hot, then the heat goes down by itself, and goes back up again. It'll keep cycling over and over again. Very frustrating when you're trying to boil noodles. I'll try this, thanks again!
@@gregpettis1113 no it didnt. This might work for earlier models, but doing this prevented the burner from turning on. It's a safety feature. The only way around it, is to buy a different oven.
I work for a apt complex of 650 apts. We have all g.e appliances & hate them so much ive been getting alot of work orders of these burners sensors. Thanks for video buddy
Everyone posting hates the sensor. As an repair technician at a large apartment complex, I love it! in a 55 unit building I was replacing the burner plugs 3 or4 times a month and many infinity switches as well when the plug melts and the wires contact the metal and short it out! Total cost of about 100 per repair. Its also creates a fire and shock hazard. So if you do the mod. and I understand why you would want to, just beware!
Well, its easy to love it, when the sensor stops people from cooking on it because of frustration. A stove not in use, will not need switch replacements much.
@@HarpreetKaur-ou2mh can you just bend to 2 prongs together so they're touching? Worst case just cut the wires strip the wire cover and twist the ends together. By hot wiring you're bypassing the temperature control shut off feature.
The back side of the sensor doesn't look the same in our stove. There are no detached wires like you have here. Mine is kind of blended separately into the sensor. May be ge came up with that so people can't go around it. Can you help me out with that? It will be great if you can make a video on that?
Hate to break it to you in case you have not already figured this out- but these bullshit Sensi Temp burners draw less power (watts/amps) than the older burners. They are set up for lower amp draws than the older non-regulated burner elements were. So while we can join wires as you say in this video, and cut out the Sensi-Temp garbage from the circuit, which is what I did, it will not fix the wiring of the stove itself to handle larger amp draws. The burners will then over-draw power and burn out the hard rubber receptacles under the surface. It's not a fire hazard, but it means you cannot do this modification successfully. The larger burners tend to do this the worst, although I have seen the smaller ones burn out after getting this mod too.
@@humayunjehanzebI've rewired several and they all do the same thing, the right burner power probe starts arcing at the receptacle, which heats up and eventually melts. It stops making contact with the right probe at all and the burner quits. I tried sanding the probes to remove the carbon, but when the receptacle melts its toast. I also tried replacing the wiring to the burners with new receptacles, same thing. Yours will do it in time. The reason it fails is these burners are not made to carry as much power as older models did.
@@TheKamkam1234 That's what I did, but it do not make them work properly for very long because the power going through the receptacle is too high when you take out the sensi-temp limiter. I am in the process of finding a stove made prior to sensi-temp.
I just got a new stove in our apartment and it has this horrible feature. Since I can not make permanent changes to it, it was suggested to me to change the burners. Is that a correct alternative solution? I appreciate your response or any one who knows because I’ve just resorted to “not cooking” just to avoid this feature messing up my food..😟
Thank you for this video! I did one yesterday no problem but today I had trouble uncrimping those little brackets and snapped both of them. But also I just left the wires hanging inside and plugged it back in and caused a spark. Now the burner light won't go off. Any ideas what happened? Turning it off/on from the breaker didn't work
can you please show again clearly after opening that middle sensi burner because i am confused how to do inside i tried to join but it doesn't work and i am spending so many hours in cooking...
Salam, Thank you for sharing this video, i was so much struggling to fix our cooking top. Since we bought it an year ago we are regretting why we bought it as we Pakistani are used to of eating roti which is impossible to make on this pathatic brand.
I have a question if someone can answer it for me i will be so thankful. I did cut those two wires and connected it to each other. After connecting I put cap on the wire so that if by chance those wire touch to metal we don’t get any electric shock. When i start the stove those plastic cap melted. I am not sure if is it safe to leave those wire without any covering. And if cover it with tape or plastic cap they melt and smell like short circuit. I am confused what to do☹️. Should I leave those wire without any covering.
Don't make any more excuses for this piece of crap stove top, it's a straight up BAD DESIGN. It's not bad because we (1) still use our standard old pots, or because (2) we have filthy pot bottoms, or (3) because we slightly mismatch our pot bottoms with the burner size, or (4) we cannot align the pots with the burners, or any other nonsense. This Sensi-Temp thing is pure GARBAGE. UL screwed this up.( Remember when the EPA mandated spill proof gas cans?). I urge a class action lawsuit against UL/GE to pay for this $700 rip off appliance.
Thanks for this. I mean...who in the world would ever want to fry anything or boil stuff with a stove, right? UNreal. I bought a cheap, old school oven to replace my $2000 one that crapped out when all the CPU bells and whistles died and wound up taking 40 minutes to fry a pound of bacon. Gonna try this
I did the same but there was a small spark like thing after using it twice, and that burner stopped working. The coil still works since I opened and saw that the wires I had connected with each other - they got disconnected. So I connected them again and when I attach this coil to other burner at the back of same stove, it works fine. But I am afraid if even that will get sparked and stop working so I am not doing that.
Does anyone know how to clean these now because it has a sensor and there is wires going through the sensor And as far as I know you can't get the wires wet Thank you if you can help with this
Attention All!!! I did some searching on this technology and found out the that after this modification, the wires might burn out in a few month and stove will not be functional anymore. Like @celem1 mentioned a few posts below, buying the old style coils is a better solution for this. Just keep these sensi-temp coils in storage for future use when selling this stove or something!

Not a sensor .. It's a thermal cutout , and the foil on the drip pans will cause the heat that drops to reflect back onto the element and cause it to fall apart .. 40+ years of range repair
Yes, I bought some and they have made these so they won't fit too. I bought the replacements for my 30 year old Kenmore and that worked for awhile and it died, then I bought a whirpool and it is a pos, hoped to use the replacements on it but they won't work.
I just moved in this apartment. They have these darn stoves. I really dislike it. My pasta comes out mushy. Can't pan sear my steaks. Oh let's talk about how long it takes to boil WATER!!!!! I really like this video and I am thankful for it but I just don't understand exactly how to do the wires. Can someone please help me???? Pleeeeeaaaasssseee!!!!! TIA
This drives me insane. I’m sautéing meat and I throw in some onions and then it just stops cooking and I’m left with soggy onions. I just started using two burners and switching when one shuts off.
I tried cooking rice in a heavy Corning Ware 4-1/2 qt. pot, and the pot still wasn't heavy enough with a Sensi-Temp coil burner. I had rice soup since the burner shuts off after 5 minutes. I wouldn't fool with Sensi-Temp electronics. Your best bet is to simply replace all four coil burners for about $50. And Spencer's TV and Appliances in Mesa, AZ wouldn't stand behind this defective merchandise either. Cheapskates!
