What to do if my GE Ranges clock and timer do not work?
If the clock and timer on your GE Ranges are not working, it could be due to a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker in your home. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Also, ensure the range is fully plugged into a properly grounded electrical outlet. If the issue persists, refer to the Using the kitchen timer section.
What to do if my GE JB640 oven does not work?
If your GE Ranges oven isn't working, first check if a fuse in your home has blown or the circuit breaker has tripped, and replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Also, the oven controls might be improperly set, so consult the Using the Oven section. Finally, make sure that the oven is not in Sabbath Mode, referring to the Special Features section.
Why does my new GE JB640 oven doesn't cook like my old one?
Your new GE Ranges oven has a different cooking system than your old oven, which may cause it to cook differently. For the first few uses, carefully follow the recipe times and temperatures. If you still believe your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature to meet your specific cooking preferences.
Why is the 'DOOR LOCK' light on when I want to cook on my GE Ranges?
If the DOOR LOCK light is on when you want to cook with your GE Ranges, press the Cancel/Off pad and allow the oven to cool, as the oven door is locked because the temperature inside the oven has not dropped below the locking temperature.
What does it mean if “F— and a number or letter” flash in the display of my GE Ranges?
If you see “F— and a number or letter” flashing on your GE Ranges display, it indicates a function error code. Press the Cancel/Off pad and allow the oven to cool for one hour before putting it back into operation. If the error repeats, disconnect all power to the oven for at least 16 seconds and then reconnect power. If the function error code repeats, call for service.
Why does my GE JB640 Ranges oven take longer to preheat to the same temperature?
If your GE Ranges oven sometimes takes longer to preheat to the same temperature, it could be due to cookware or food in the oven; removing these items will reduce preheat time. The number of racks in the oven can also affect preheating, so removing some racks may help. Additionally, different cooking modes use different preheat methods, with some modes taking longer than others (e.g., convection bake).
Why does my GE JB640 Ranges oven light not work?
If the oven light in your GE Ranges isn't working, the bulb might be loose or defective. Try tightening or replacing the bulb. If the pad operating the light is broken, call for service.
Why are my GE JB640 surface units not maintaining a rolling boil?
Your GE Ranges surface units may not maintain a rolling boil due to improper cookware. Use flat-bottomed pans that match the diameter of the surface unit. In areas with low voltage, cover the pan with a lid to help retain heat until the desired temperature is reached.
Why aren't the clock and timer working on my GE JB640?
If your GE Ranges clock and timer aren't working, check your home's fuse box or circuit breaker and replace the fuse or reset the breaker if necessary. Also, make sure the electrical plug is plugged into a live, properly grounded outlet.
