What OFF
actually means.
GE displays OFF when you try to set self-clean on an oven that is still hot, or when you try to bake or broil right after a clean while it is cooling down. It is a wait message.

What to do when OFF 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
Let the oven cool for a while longer with the door closed.

The burners on top work, but the oven underneath stays cold, heats only a little, or never reaches the temperature you set.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE's own guidance for OFF on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let the oven cool for a while longer with the door closed.
Try the setting again.
If OFF appears on a cold oven that has not been used for hours, reset the breaker and book a visit if it persists.
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
OFF here is not a sign that the stove has lost power. The display and control are working; they are refusing the setting until the oven cools.

GE stove repair
Gas stove
A stove with gas burners on top, whether its oven below runs on gas too or on electricity, fed by one gas line behind it and plugged into a wall outlet for the spark.
Electric stove
A stove that runs entirely on electricity through a heavy cord and a large outlet behind it, with coil burners that lift out or a smooth glass stovetop with elements under it.
In GE's own words
this means the oven is too hot for the self-clean cycle to be set. Allow the oven to cool down and retry.
