What to do if my GE Oven door will not open after a clean cycle?

Why does my GE Oven sometimes take longer to preheat to the same temperature?
Several factors can affect preheating time: * Cookware or food in the oven will cause it to take longer to preheat. Remove items to reduce preheat time. * Adding more racks to the oven will increase preheat time. Remove some racks. * Different cooking modes use different preheat methods. Some modes will take longer than others (i.e., convection bake multi).

What does it mean when "F— and a number or letter" flash on my GE JT5500SFSS display?
The flashing "F— and a number or letter" indicates a function error code. Press the Cancel/Off pad and allow the oven to cool for one hour, then put the oven back into operation. If the code repeats, disconnect all power to the oven for at least 30 seconds and then reconnect power. If the function error code repeats, call for service.
