Hello. Yes you can replace it. You need to remove the control assy. Open the oven door, at the bottom of the control assy there are 5 screws, remove those. Now pull off the knobs and unscrew the retaining rings around the switch shafts, should be 3 plastic and one brass. Remove the panel and set aside. Remove the screws holding the metal plate on, should be 4 black 1/4 inch screws. Once those screws are removed, pull the whole panel out and let hang down. This will have all your switches and erc control on it. Now there are 4 more screws that hold the front of the cooktop, unscrew those, disconnect the 2 wire harnesses at the connectors, pull the cooktop twards you and up and it will come right off. FYI some models have 2 screws in the back to hold the cooktop to the rear, but some don't. Now just reverse directions and your ready to go. Joe

IF you can locate the model number tag (bottom left of door opening) you can look up the manual at www.geappliances.com
The only button on your stove that should make the door lock would be the clean button (self clean model) if that is pressed simply hit the clear/off or cancel key and wait for the door to unlock. IF the self clean option ran for an hour or so, you will have to wait for the oven to cool down before the lock can un-lock (safety feature).
Good luck with this!!

f3 is a bad oven sensor, two screws will remove it in the upper left or right hand side of inner cavity.thin metal shaft protuding maybe 3inches or so.

This indicates the oven has reached an over temperature. You will first need to check the temperature probe for the proper reading. Refer to the tech sheet located somewhere on your stove. It should be around 1100 ohms. If this checks out good the ERC electronic range control will need to be replaced. Here is a couple links that should help

This is unfortunate.
The display is a computer you need to do most of the work.
Go Onlne to www.partselect.com and order that display. You will need a friend or a service guy to open and install you new display

on our maytag a f3 code means shorted or open temperature sensor. do not know if that code is the same as a ge, but you can google your oven model codes and find out what the problem is.

usually there is some way to take either the handle off of the door, or take the door apart from the inside and you can seperate the parts of the door and remove the glass and clean it and replace everything back.

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. Error F7 means that the function pad button is stuck or the clock has gone bad. If you are unable to unstick the button then to resolve this issue you’ll have to replace the electronic range control. Please do rate the solution if the issue is resolved or post a comment for further assistance.


Thanks

Hello there
F2 Oven temp exceeds 590 w/ unlocked door High resistance or interference in oven temperature sensor.
Replace oven temperature sensor

Hello,The "FO " reading you get is as a result of "Shorted Clear/Off key due to the membrane switch,control or connector".And these mean you have to check the Shorted key panel membrane switch; Check Electronic Range Control(ERC)

Thanks

Your oven is in celcius mode to change press bake and broil at the same time SF will appear then press broil and cooking time at the same time a C will appear press again to toggle to farenheight then press start to lock it in that mode. Some models when you press the bake and broil the sf will appear if it does press the press the broil button to toggle between C & F then press start.

Steve my friend - you have fried the board. There are no breaker or fuse beyond the power point of the stove on your unit.
