Make sure the oven door is fully closed. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why is my GE stove flashing Loc Door when I just want to bake? The control thinks the lock is in the wrong state. A breaker reset often clears it; if not, the latch switch is the usual suspect. ### Can a kid pressing buttons make a GE stove flash Loc Door? Pressing the self-clean pad without closing the door can make lock messages flash. Close the door and cancel; if it keeps flashing with no clean chosen, it needs a check. ### Is Loc Door on a GE the same as LOC? No. LOC is GE's control lockout for keeping the oven from being turned on; Loc Door is about the door latch. --- **[Read on the site: GE stove flashing Loc Door without a clean cycle](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/ge-loc-door/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
