    how to clean a self cleaning oven

  • Anonymous Mar 31, 2014

    I am not able to push in & turn the oven temp knob in a CLOCKWISE direction to "Clean" as instructed in order to clean the oven - it only turns counterclockwise, & I can't complete the process to start the self-cleaning cycle because of that.

I had this same problem with mine (still posted under unsolved) This is the simpler model with the old turn style knob and the lever you slide over to lock the door for cleaning What I think (keep in mind I know little about ovens, more about cars) is that the switch that tells the oven the door is latched is staying engaged, and this is part of the lever mechanism. I cleaned and lubed this mechanism (obviously I would guess you want to use a food safe lubricant) and then moved the lever several times with the oven on so I could see if it turned on. After a few tries the cleaning light went off and the oven light came on. No, its not really a technical answer, all indications to me where that the problem was in the switch which is part of the latch mechanism. Good luck

Check to see if you have it in the lock mode. Press bake and broil pads together for 2 seconds until SF shows in the display. Then press the self clean pad, the display will show loc off or loc on. Toggle to loc off by pressing the self clean pad and press start. Try this first. Catriver...post back.

GENERAL ELECTRIC OVEN STUCK IN CLEAN MODE

Hi Edd.
this is all i could find.
To cancel the self-clean cycle on models with mechanical timer controls, turn the "stop" knob to the current time of day. The knob should pop out. Then, turn the oven set knob to "Off" and the oven temperature knob out of the "Clean" position.

if this does not work try this link out might help you get it sorted.

or this one.

Turned on self clean on my GE Spectra JBP24B0B4WH Range

Hello Cliff Hendershot,

One USA manual ... said turn off power for 10 minutes
(sounds reasonable after looking up cost of control board)...

USA websites are not responding to your number.
Closest I could get was to a $78 (us dollar) control panel

>> ((IMPORTANT PART ... has a video that shows repair))
http://www.appliancepartspros.com/ge-oven-control-t09-wb27t11312-ap5177950.html

~~

I could NOT get a good READ on your JBP24... page 8
So I attached a JBP19 (below)... Page 12.

The most COMMON reason to FAIL after a cleaning cycle
is your OVEN CONTROL is "off normal"

(You still do not have your MANUAL MODE restored).

Normal = "AUTOMATIC" LIGHT Off (NOT LIT)

Check your "oven controls"

else

Oven elements do break during routine use...
Check both roast & bake elements for continuity.

Blinking auto self clean light

There is probably a switch attached to the oven locking mechanism that need to be replaced. I had a similar problem on my GE electric oven and it worked for me.

Self clean light blinks, oven does not work

You were right. The locking mechanism switch somehow became jammed and the oven thought the door was locked, even though I could open the door. I didn't know if I was supposed to take the top off and moving the lever back and forth did not help. Finally I turned the oven on and just kind of jiggled the latch in the unlocked position. I kind of moved it back and forth furiously and the cleaning light stopped blinking and the oven light came on. I'm glad it is working now, but I will be manually cleaning my oven from now on! Thanks for your help.
