What we fix in Minneapolis
The Minneapolis repair mix
Induction range faults
Er18 / Er20 = element-board communication. Er26 = cooling fan stalled (the induction generator overheats and shuts down without it). Er44 = no pan detected (most often the user — pan must be magnetic; second is a generator-side detect circuit failure). $385–$685 OEM depending on which board.
Advantium speed oven F1 / F3 / F8
F1 = magnetron fault. F3 = sensor open. F8 = microwave inverter board. Advantium combines microwave + halogen + convection — parts are expensive but the unit is, too ($2.5K+ new), so repair almost always wins. $485–$885 OEM.

FAQ
Minneapolis questions, answered
What does Er44 mean on a GE Café induction?
No pan detected. First check the pan — must be magnetic (a fridge magnet should stick to the bottom). If a known-good pan still throws Er44, the generator-side detect circuit failed. $385–$585 OEM.
What does F1 mean on a GE Café Advantium?
Magnetron fault. The microwave-portion magnetron failed. $485–$685 OEM. We always test inverter and high-voltage diode before replacing the magnetron. The control board logs this code so technicians can skip generic troubleshooting. We carry the OEM service manuals on tablet for every major platform — no guess-and-replace.
Is GE Café worth repairing?
Almost always. Café ranges and ovens cost $3K–$8K new, Advantium speed ovens $2.5K+. A $485–$885 repair is well under 25% of replacement on a 12-year-design appliance.
How much does GE Café repair cost?
Most Café repairs land $345–$685 OEM. Induction element board $385–$585. Generator board $485–$685. Oven sensor $245–$345. Latch motor $345–$485. Advantium magnetron $485–$685. The $149 trip fee is waived when you approve the repair.
