Is it safe to keep baking if I see F0 or F1?

F0/F1/F6/F7 point to the keypad, not the heating system, so it's generally not a safety issue the same way a temperature code is — but an unresponsive keypad can make it hard to turn the oven off, so we'd still recommend having it checked soon.

What should I do if my oven won't unlock after self-clean?

Let it cool fully first — most self-clean lockouts release once the oven drops below a safety threshold temperature, which can take an hour or more. If it still won't unlock once fully cool, call a technician rather than forcing the door.

My GE range has a gas burner that won't light — is that an F-code?

No, burner ignition issues don't show as F-codes on most GE ranges. See our dedicated guide on a gas burner clicking or not lighting.

What you can check yourself

0 / 4 checked

Power-cycle the oven at the breaker (not just the control panel) for a full minute — some keypad and communication codes clear with a true power reset.
For F2/F20 (temperature exceeded threshold), stop using the oven until it's checked — continuing to run it can be a safety issue, not just an inconvenience.
For a door-lock code after self-clean, let the oven cool completely before trying to unlock it; most models need a specific button sequence, not force.
Check that nothing is pressed or stuck on the touch keypad, which can trigger F0/F1/F6/F7 even when the panel itself is fine.

Still not working? A technician can take it from here.

When to call a technician

Call a technician for F2/F20 or F3/F4 (temperature sensor) — don't keep using an oven that's overheating or reading temperature incorrectly, since that affects both safety and food safety.

Why self-clean triggers so many of these codes

GE's self-clean cycle runs the oven at a very high temperature for an extended period, which is exactly the condition that pushes a marginal door latch, control board or temperature sensor into failing outright. If your oven was already acting slightly off before a self-clean — a door that didn't latch quite right, an igniter that was slow — that's often when an F-code first appears.

F350 is about airflow, not heat

F350 points to the oven's upper cooling fan circuit, which protects the electronics above the oven cavity, not the cooking temperature itself. Check that nothing is blocking the vents near the control panel before assuming the fan motor has failed.

A note on this brand's codes: GE separates "error," "fault" and "function" codes on its own support page — LOC, for instance, is a function code meaning the control lockout is on, not a fault.
