What ⊃
actually means.
A backwards C in the display of a GE stove means Sabbath Mode is on. In that mode the display and tones stay quiet and the oven behaves differently until the mode is turned off.
GE stove display · also shown as backwards C
What to do when ⊃ shows on the stoveKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.
Usually leads toNo repair
Check the owner's manual for how your model enters and leaves Sabbath Mode.
Shows up asStove Display Blank or Flashing
The clock and display on the stove have gone dark, or they flash the time, a word or a string of characters and ignore the keys you press.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE's own guidance for ⊃ on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the owner's manual for how your model enters and leaves Sabbath Mode.
Turn Sabbath Mode off and set the oven as usual.
If the backwards C will not go away, reset the breaker; book a visit only if the mode cannot be cleared.
Cleared?
The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
The backwards C is not a stuck or broken segment in the display. It is the symbol GE uses for Sabbath Mode.

Electric stove

In GE's own words
