What FC
actually means.
FC on a Profile means the control found a problem somewhere in the door lock circuit, the latch that locks the oven during self-clean. The latch motor, its switch or the wiring between them are the parts involved.

What to do when FC shows on the stoveKind of codeDoor 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.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for FC on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Make sure the oven is cool; the door stays latched while it is hot.
Press Cancel/Off, then cut power for at least 30 seconds.
If FC remains or the door will not unlock, book a visit instead of forcing it.

What not to do
FC is not the normal DOOR LOCKED light that stays on while the oven cools after a clean. That light clears by itself; FC is a failure report.
