Safe external checks

Use only GE's documented breaker reset; do not inspect or replace internal components.

  1. Turn off the range or wall oven at its circuit breaker or fuse for one to two minutes, then restore power.

Stop use and isolate now

If you notice smoke, a burning smell, sparks, flooding, gas odor, severe overheating, or electric-shock risk, stop using the appliance and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions. Do not wait for this page or email support.

Power off / keep off

The source directs power off or keeping the appliance off.

A trained service technician should diagnose and correct the fault if the breaker reset does not clear it or it returns.

  • Schedule GE Appliances service if the control does not reset or the code returns.

Do not do

Do not replace the sensor, keypanel, fan, lock, control, wiring, or other internal parts from this guide.

GE directs fault diagnosis and correction to a trained service technician and recommends keeping the appliance off until serviced when the control does not reset.

Check warranty before authorizing service

Warranty coverage depends on the country, model, purchase date, and manufacturer terms. Have the model and serial number available, open the manufacturer's official support or warranty page, and ask whether the service route is authorized before paying for work.

This public record does not make a coverage determination. Use the official model lookup and warranty information linked below.

If the message returns
