What does SENSOR ERROR mean on my GE JT3800?
If you see a SENSOR ERROR displayed on your GE Oven, press the Clear/Off pad and set the oven program to match the food or liquid you are cooking or heating. Also, ensure that if you are using plastic wrap, it is vented; if using a lid, it is not too tight; or if cooking liquids, they are uncovered, as steam not being sensed by the oven can cause this error.
Why does my GE JT3800 take so long to preheat?
If your GE Oven is taking longer to preheat, it could be due to cookware or food inside the oven, which slows down the preheating process—remove these items to reduce preheat time. Also, the number of racks in the oven can affect preheating time; adding more racks will cause the oven to take longer, so remove some racks if necessary.
