Why does the "LOCK DOOR" flash in the display of my GE JB860 Oven?

How to fix GE surface units that will not maintain a rolling boil?
If the surface units on your GE cooktop aren't maintaining a rolling boil, or cooking isn't fast enough, it could be due to improper cookware. Use flat pans that match the diameter of the surface unit. In some areas, low power (voltage) can also be a factor. Covering the pan with a lid can help until the desired heat is reached.
Why does food not bake properly in my GE JB860 Oven?
If food isn't baking properly in your GE oven, it could be due to several factors. Ensure the oven controls are set correctly. Check that the rack position is correct and level. Use the correct cookware of the proper size. The oven temperature might need adjustment. Also, substituting ingredients can change the recipe outcome.
Why are my GE Ranges oven racks difficult to slide?
If the oven racks are difficult to slide, especially if they are shiny and silver-colored, it's possible they were cleaned during a self-clean cycle. To fix this, apply a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks.
Why doesn't my new GE oven cook like my old one?
If your new GE oven doesn't cook like your old one, it's because it has a different cooking system. For the first few uses, follow your recipe times and temperatures carefully. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference.
Why are there scratches on the glass surface of my GE cooktop?
If you notice scratches (that may appear as cracks) on your GE cooktop glass surface, it's often due to incorrect cleaning methods. Scratches are not removable, but tiny scratches will become less visible over time with cleaning. Also, cookware with rough bottoms or coarse particles between the cookware and the cooktop surface can cause scratches. To avoid scratches, use recommended cleaning procedures, ensure cookware bottoms are clean before use, and use cookware with smooth bottoms.
Why does my GE JB860 door glass appear to be "tinted" or have a "rainbow" color?
If your oven door glass appears to be "tinted" or have a "rainbow" color, this is normal. The inner oven glass is coated with a heat barrier to reflect the heat back into the oven to prevent heat loss and keep the outer door cool while baking. Under certain light or angles, you may see this tint or rainbow color.
Why does my GE Ranges control signal after entering cooking time or start time?
If the control signals after entering a cooking or start time, you likely forgot to enter a bake temperature or cleaning time. Touch the Bake pad and the desired temperature, or the SELF Clean pad and the desired clean time.
Why is there excessive smoking during broiling in my GE oven?
