# GE Profile stove flashing DOOR LOCKING

DOOR LOCKING flashes on a Profile when a self-clean has been selected and the door is open or not fully shut.

## What DOOR LOCKING actually means.

DOOR LOCKING flashes on a Profile when a self-clean has been selected and the door is open or not fully shut. The latch will not engage until it is.

What to do when DOOR LOCKING shows on the stove

### Kind of code Door lock

The latch that holds the oven door shut during self-clean did not move where the stove told it to, or its switch reported the wrong position. It turns up most often during or right after a self-clean cycle, or once the door has been lifted off for cleaning. The latch, its switches, the hinges and how squarely the door closes are checked before the lock motor is changed.

### Usually leads to Stove door and hinge repair

Oven doors on a stove that will not close, drop open, sit crooked or leak heat, fixed at the hinges, the door seal, the glass or the door lock.

### Shows up as Stove Door Won't Close

The oven door on the stove hangs open a crack, closes crooked, springs back open, or will not stay shut and lets heat pour out while you bake.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for DOOR LOCKING on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Close the oven door firmly.

02

Check that no rack or pan edge is stopping the door from sealing.

03

If the door is shut and the message keeps flashing, cancel, reset the breaker and book a visit to check the latch switch.

### Still there?

### What not to do

## Questions about DOOR LOCKING.

### Can I clear DOOR LOCKING myself?

Close the oven door firmly. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### My Profile oven door is closed but DOOR LOCKING keeps flashing. Why?

The door switch may not be sensing it closed, often because the door is out of line or the switch has worn. That needs a check.

### Will my Profile start self-clean with DOOR LOCKING flashing?

No. The clean waits until the door is closed and the latch can engage.

### Can a crooked door on my Profile cause DOOR LOCKING to flash?

A door that is out of position may not press the switch. Reseating the door usually fixes that.
