Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Greetings, The burners on this model range are equipped with Sensi-Temp technology. Starting in 2018, UL (Underwriter's Laboratory) regulations require all electric coil top ranges to have temperature limiting capabilities to reduce the risk of cooktop oil and grease fires. As a result, our electric coil burners now use Sensi-Temp Technology. Each burner with this technology has a silver medallion with a button (sensor) in the center of the coil. This button must make contact with the bottom of the cookware for the Sensi-Temp Technology to sense the temperature properly. When the sensor detects a pan temperature near the limit (450 degrees F), the burner will shut off automatically until a lower, safe pan temperature is reached. At that point, the burner will resume heating. This will not affect everyday cooking as the automatic shut-off is temporary and only happens at a very high temperature. Thanks for choosing GE!

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have not noticed or experienced what you mentioned. The burner does have a sensor in the center that open and closes the flow of electricity occurring to the setting of the knob. We have been cooking normally and not experienced any issues.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This safety feature is so very annoying when frying food. Who wants food soaked in grease??
