On many freestanding stoves the lock motor is located in the right rear (looking from the front) with a long rod connected to the lock. Pull or push the rod to move the lock to the open position..
If you can not open this door, then the problem probably is that you stopped the clean cycle before it was finished. Restart the cycle, and set it at the minimum of 3 hours, and then when it is finished, it will release the latch that locks the door. I had this problem last night, and after the cycle was finished, the door latch was released. Hope this helps.
I have disassembled an insulated door with laminated glass to clean between the layers of glass once and will never do it again (as it took far too much effort and time).
I will suggest trying to get a fair flat rate (not hourly) for completing the task to your satisfaction, guaranteed for at least 1 year. I would also check with other appliance repair shops/technicians (other than just the GE authorized repair), unless it will void any warranty the oven may have.
Question edited for clarity.
The bake element failed? Test for continuity.
If it has a fan, test that too.
If it is electronic, check the thermistor temperature sensor.
For suspected control panels or mainboards, I always suggest dealer service so you get the correct diagnosis and warranty on the parts and the job. They are also expensive.

Most modern appliances like cookers and washing machines have the control panels and displays are fitted from behind the front panel, inside the machine. You will be better off getting a professional repairer to do it for you. *Remember* this is a Gas appliance that you're working on so BE CAREFUL. You might have to remove several other panels to get to the touch pad so if your going to do it yourself turn OFF the main gas supply first then make notes and take photos as you go.
No reset found in the manual. You can try this and hope it works..
Turn off the circut Breaker to the stove for 5 minutes to see if it resets. Checking around the net I've only found
"Item Discontinued"
The part is no longer sold by the manufacturer.
The manufacturer does not stock any substitute parts to replace this one and therefore, unfortunately, we cannot obtain or recommend a substitution for this part.
We cannot obtain the part through any other means.
If your GE stove is beeping and displaying the message "bad line," it typically indicates an issue with the electrical power supply. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the problem:
Check the Power Supply: Ensure that the stove is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet. Verify that there is no issue with the circuit breaker or fuse that supplies power to the stove. You may need to reset the circuit breaker or replace a blown fuse if necessary.
Inspect the Power Cord: Examine the power cord for any signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or exposed wires. If you notice any issues, it's advisable to replace the power cord with a new one to ensure safe and reliable operation.
Test the Outlet: If possible, try plugging the stove into a different power outlet to see if the "bad line" message persists. This step helps determine if the issue lies with the stove or the electrical supply in your home.
Contact a Professional: If the problem persists or if you are unsure about performing further troubleshooting steps, it's recommended to contact a qualified appliance repair technician. They can diagnose the specific issue with your GE stove and provide the necessary repairs or replacements.
This issue could be caused by the oven regulator valve not being set correctly for the altitude and fuel source. I'd suggest double-checking that the regulator is properly adjusted to the altitude and fuel source. Additionally, you may want to check the oven igniter and burner for proper operation and make sure the correct model and size of burner is installed. If you have any further questions or need help, please feel free to reach out.
It might be from the burners being dirty or from the electrode not being properly sealed.Or the burner head and the caps are not correctly have been matched up.
