Q: Can the coils be changed our from the sensi-temperature coils to regular coils? Thank you.
A: I changed the sensi-temp coils out for the older ones and it works great!! I tried it with just one 8" coil and now I will replace them all!
Q: with the new sensors, will i be able to boil a pot of water to cook pasta or other dishes?
A: Hello... I came on this thread to see if I could change out the sensi-temp coils to regular ones. I own this stove and I HATE the sensi-temp feature. The heat is inconsistent, it takes much longer to boil water for pasta or rice. You can FORGET about searing anything! Not a steak, chicken breast, or piece of fish. Your food ends up just barely simmering until the burner decides to cut back on. I have all new cookware, so the button contacts the bottom of the pan. So far, my solution has been to turn on every burner and move the pan to a new burner to cook my food through. I understand you have a job to do Sue, but I'm just sharing my truthful experience.
Q: What type of self cleaning does this model have?
A: Hi Eve60- Thanks for considering GE® 30" Free-Standing Self-Clean Electric Range JB258DMBB! The self-clean oven is cleaned by heat, at temperatures above normal cooking temperatures. During the cleaning cycle the oven is heated to about 880 degrees Fahrenheit (471° C.). At this temperature, food soils inside the oven decompose, leaving behind a small amount of ash. The leftover ash is similar to cigarette ashes, and wipes out easily with a wet cloth. We suggest to view the Use and Care Manual for complete details: https://products.geappliances.com/MarketingObjectRetrieval/Dispatcher?RequestType=PDF&Name=49-80838-1.PDF - Keep in touch at GEAppliances.com. Sue
A: The sensi temp coils do heat up with nothing on them, I turned a burner to high and in a few minutes it turned red. I heard horror stories about these burners, but I have not had any problems cooking on them. I do use a good grade stainless steel cookware and cast iron pans. I like the new stove they heat and cook well. Have a Happy New Year.
