I had an F2 on an old GE gas stove (XL44). Everything online suggested that I needed to replace the temperature sensor. HOWEVER, after a while I decided that I should try out the SELF CLEANING option. Initially this provoked an F3 error, I tried gain.(keeping the external air exhaust fans on full.) As the smells cleared and the oven cleaned....the error disappeared. Yesterday, I cooked a Thanksgiven turkey without an problems!

I have a manual for you: http://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/399569/ge-jss28dnbb-jb350dfww-jb250gfsa-jds28dnww-jb250dfbb-jb250rfss-jb250dfcc-jss28dnww-jb250dfww-jb350dfcc-jb350rfss-jb350dfbb.html?page=23 It seems someone selected cleaning cycle and until door is fully closed it will not go through the cycle and locks out other uses. If not true, then range needs a service person to repair door lock.

Change the ignitor, its not getting hot enough to open the safety valve.

do a search or buy universal set that are compatible

You will need to replace the probe. Here is the part to order.

Have you checked inside it? Most of my appliances have envelopes containing schematic diagrams tucked inside them at the factory.

Modern ovens are much slower to preheat than older models. In some cases it is because they only use the bake (lower) element, while the older units used both the bake and the grill (upper) elements to preheat. If this is a new condition of your oven, check for malfunctioning oven element(s). A loose or intermittently non-functioning element will create a slow heat-up.

Take out the 4 burner knobs, just pull them straight out. Then, you'll see those round holders for the burner knobs, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. They actually screw out, lefty-loosey, righty-tighty. Those 4 things are holding the control panel onto the oven, aka the keypanel. When you unscrew them, you should be able to pop the keypanel right off, depending on how strong the seal is (ours was worn and weak - 8ish years old I think). The problem you described sounds like the ribbon cable is unplugged, or has some gunk on it. A guy on Youtube says you can get the gunk off with a pencil eraser. Then carefully put the ribbon cable back into the slot on the back of the key panel, and put it back on the oven by lining it up and screwing in those black round holders for the burner knobs. You probably need to fix the seal on the keypanel so liquid/food doesn't spill in there; that's our next project (we don't use that range often.) Also, turn off the electricity and gas before you do this. (We flipped a switch at the circuit breaker to turn off electricity, but we didn't turn off the gas.) I'm not an expert, so please read safety tips in the manual before trying this. Good luck!

If it's brand new I would talk to the people you bought it from and see what they suggest. Even have them come out and see it and see if something is out of wack.

In order to save your sanity, you'll want to "reset" your oven. Turn off the breaker for the oven circuit for about 20 seconds and then bring it back to the ON position. If you're handy enough to make your own repairs on the oven then you'll want to go to "www.repairclinic.com" to find out what you need to do to troubleshoot your F-7 code.

Ah yes, the ultimate battle. Unfotunately if you want to get the bottom drawer unstuck yourself you're going to have to fight with it. The best way to get this drawer out other than asking your kids to try, is quick jerking motions back and forth holding both sides. Make sure you keep the stove secure while you battle this. If you can get it open some of the way, use a stick or something to try to jumble up all the pots and pans you have down there keeping it from opening. If you have nothing in the drawer, then maybe use a broom handle to pry it out, or have someone tilt the stove back to see what's restricting it. If worst comes to down to it, you can call a repair guy and watch him struggle to get it open.

Yellow flame is incomplete combustion. This can be due to poor air inlet or mixture. It is normally related to low air into the burner mix. Lint build up or grease can cause vents to reduce or block. A yellow flame is rich in co2, which has a direct link to higher co levels.

Many ovens built by GE display error codes on the display when problems are detected. The F7 error code indicates that there is a problem with the buttons of the control panel. The code comes on when two or more buttons are stuck at the same time. The oven cannot operate when this condition exists. The oven is repaired by replacing the control panel with a functioning one. Follow the steps 1. Unplug the oven power cord from the electrical outlet. 2. Open the oven door fully. 3. Unscrew and remove the two or three screws from the inside of the oven that hold down the control panel. 4. Pull the control panel toward the front of the oven. Lift the panel up to disconnect it from the oven. 5. Rotate the control panel sideways to get easy access to the data cable. 6. Remove the screws that hold the data-cable connector. Disconnect the data cable. Set the old control panel aside. 7. Plug the data cable into the new control panel. Replace the screws that hold the cable connector into the control panel. 8. Position the control panel in its correct position on top of the GE oven. Replace the screws on the bottom of the control panel from the inside of the oven. thank you

Check bake element. Sounds like it’s bad.

Yes glass can be replaced and ordered from sears parts direct.com

Yes you can purchase teh decals they are normally called the "overlay" i searched for them but appearantly the model# in your question isn't correct please verify and reply and ill look up the part #'s

Hi there,

Well first of all you determine if problem is with the Key Panel or Control by-

1. Pushing CLEAR/OFF pad.
2. Disconnecting Ribbon Cable from control and waiting at least 32 seconds to see if Code recurs

If code recurs, problem is in the control. Replace control.
If code does not recur, problem is with the Key Panel.
 
This error code means Function pad button stuck or Bad clock: Unstick button or Replace Electronic Range Control (ERC).
Post comments for more help or information........

Good Luck!!

This model has what is called a fixed orifice, if you are having low flame, low heat output then this model has a gas regulator inline with the appliance, meaning your gas company should check this regulator for adjustment and/or their is a vent on top of the regulator that may have dust and or dirt inside preventing it from working correctly.
