How to Troubleshoot the GE Convection Wall Oven
- 1). Ensure the oven is receiving power from the electrical outlet. A fuse might have blown, cutting off the electricity supply to some appliances in your home. Replace blown fuses or reset tripped breakers and try the oven again. Other appliances or electrical outlets will be affected by a fuse or breaker problem.
- 2). Check that the oven is switched on. Some kitchen appliances are operated via a power switch on the wall at the back of the kitchen counter. Ensure the switch is turned to the "On" position, if one is fitted to your convection oven. It's easy to forget you've turned off the power switch.
- 3). Ensure the "Oven Mode" dial is turned to "Bake" and a temperature is selected using the "Temperature" dial. The oven won't heat up until both dials are positioned for heat. Ensure the oven isn't in self-cleaning mode while you are trying to cook. Let the oven cool after completing its cleaning cycle and try cooking a second time.
- 4). Cancel "Sabbath Mode" -- the oven won't work normally while this option is active. Hold down "Probe" and "Delay Start" for four seconds until "SF" shows on the screen. Hit "Delay Start" until "no SF shdn" appears on-screen. Press the "Push to Enter" dial, confirming your new choice.
- 5). Make sure the clock is set -- the oven won't start unless it can accurately time its cook program. Press the "Clock" button and turn the "Push to Enter" knob until the correct time is displayed -- the clock switches between AM and PM automatically as you scroll. Push the "Push to Enter" knob, confirming your new settings.
- 6). Turn the "Oven Mode" and "Temperature" dials to "Off" -- you might have made a mistake programming the oven. This procedure returns the computer to idle mode so you can re-enter your cooking instructions. Disconnect the power for 30 seconds if the oven still won't start.
