Why does my GE JRP20 Oven control signal after entering cooking time or delay start?
If your GE Oven control signals after entering cooking time or delay start, you may have forgotten to enter a bake temperature or cleaning time. Touch the BAKE pad and desired temperature or the SELF CLEAN pad and desired clean time.
Why does my GE JRP20 make fan noise?
Fan noise from your GE Oven is normal. A cooling fan may automatically turn on to cool internal parts.
Why does my GE Oven have a strong odor?
A strong odor from your GE Oven is normal for the first few times the oven is used. It comes from the insulation around the inside of the oven and is temporary.
Why does my GE JRP20 have a 'burning' or 'oily' odor emitting from the vent?
A 'burning' or 'oily' odor emitting from the vent of your GE Oven is normal in a new oven and will disappear in time. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Self-cleaning oven section.
Why am I unable to get the display to show 'SF' on my GE JRP20?
If you are unable to get the display to show 'SF' on your GE Oven, the oven control pads were not pressed properly. The BAKE and BROIL HI/LO pads must be touched at the same time and held for 3 seconds.
Why does my GE JRP20 display go blank?
If your GE Oven display goes blank, a fuse in your home may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
Why does my GE JRP20 Oven light not work?
If your GE Oven light does not work, the light bulb is either loose or defective. Tighten or replace the bulb.
Why is the 'LOCK DOOR' flashing in the display of my GE JRP20 Oven?
If 'LOCK DOOR' flashes in the display of your GE Oven, the self-clean cycle has been selected, but the door is not closed. Close the oven door.
What to do if my GE Oven is not clean after a clean cycle?
If your GE Oven isn't clean following a cleaning cycle, this may be due to the oven controls being improperly set or because the oven was heavily soiled. For the former, consult the Self-cleaning oven section. For the latter, clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean cycle. Heavily soiled ovens may need to self-clean again or for a longer period of time.
