Use only GE's documented breaker reset; do not inspect or replace internal components.
- Turn off the range or wall oven at its circuit breaker or fuse for one to two minutes, then restore power.
Stop and get service when
A trained service technician should diagnose and correct the fault if the breaker reset does not clear it or it returns.
- If the code remains, keep the range or wall oven off at the circuit breaker until it is serviced.
- 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.
If the message returns
If the code remains after the one- to two-minute reset or returns, keep the appliance off and schedule GE Appliances service.
