Technical help with GE Advantium Oven

2 months ago

last modified: 2 months ago

My GE Advantium oven has many more features than my first generation Advantium I had installed over 25 yrs ago in our Florida house.

Shortly before Thanksgiving I thought I would test the Convection bake feature thinking it might come in handy at Thanksgiving. I tested it with medium size potatoes cut into quarters. Set the convection bake at 350. After 30 minutes the potatoes were not done nor was there any browning. I checked the interior walls of the oven with my IR gun which showed the walls to be at least 100-150 less than the 350 temp I set.

I called Ge unfortunately my warranty had expired a couple of months ago. My GE french door oven has a steam clean feature which I tried once. I found it was pretty much worthless as far as cleaning the interior. Is the convection bake a feature that doesn't work very well or does it need service? As an additional comment. I have seldom used convection in the regular oven as tried and true recipes seem to come out less than desirable. Most of my friends cook with convection all the time. Thank you for any enlightenment.

Help- Advantium and what wall oven?

Hi, The Monogram version of the Advantium doesn't have the weird oval window. Only the normal GE version does. (Unless they've changed it very recently. I still see the non-oval one on the Monogram web site.) I'm in the same boat. I want a speed oven -- probably the Monogram Advantium but maybe a Miele. If I get the Advantium I need a non-GE wall oven to pair it with, because most of GE's appliances are crap in my opinion. I asked the very same question as you a few days ago, and a2gemini posted some nice photos of her Advantium paired with a Wolf E-series oven. The match isn't perfect, but they look good together. Search for a recent thread I started that had "Advantium" and "Wolf" in the title. Laura

I have the Advantium 120 and I'm pretty sure the 27" and 30" are the exact same unit - there's just a trim kit used to take it up to the 30". I have it as a 27", stacked with a 27" convection oven. Both of those units have "convection". Bommai, I think you got bad info. And I LOVE my advantium: it mws, speedcooks, warms, proofs, and convection bakes! I call it my kitchen workhorse because it does it all.

Not the most current pic, as we have added handles and drawer fronts, but our 240V 30" Advantium wall oven is on the left. We do not have another wall oven. This is our second oven and it gets a fair amount of use in that capacity. Baking over the holidays, warming drawer, side dishes, etc. Yeah, we also use it as a microwave as well. Our main oven is a 30" GE Mono DF. You will need to learn timing to make sure everything finishes on time, and also learn that you have to let it cool for a few minutes before you can use the microwave function. We also use it about half the time as our main oven since it is just the DW and me. The only thing I advise against is cooking a fully bone-in bird (chicken or turkey) as it makes an awful mess inside.

Problems with GE Advantium oven?

Thank goodness, I have not had this problem! And we just had an outage exactly as you describe this morning at 6am! (I know bc I have a "Sleep Number" bed and when the electric goes out the air pump beeps really loud - what a pain!) I did, however, buy extended warranties on all my appliances. Since we were building custom around so many things, we wanted to be sure it made sense to repair rather than replace whenever possible. We also put a whole house surge protector at our main box (I've never seen it but know we paid for it), so maybe that is helping our situation. Good luck!
