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.
What to do if my GE Oven will not start?
If the control display is lit but your GE Oven will not start, there are several possible reasons: * The clock may not be set - set the clock. * The door may not be securely closed - open the door and close it securely. * The Start/Pause pad or selector dial may not have been pressed after making a cooking selection - press the Start/Pause pad or selector dial. * Another selection may already be entered in the oven, and the Clear/Off pad was not pressed to cancel it - press the Clear/Off pad. * The size, quantity, or cooking time may not have been entered after the final selection - make sure you have entered the cooking time after selecting. * The Clear/Off pad may have been pressed accidentally - reset the cooking program and press the Start/Pause pad.
