Many GE ovens have a self-cleaning function, which eliminates the need for you to have to manually clean your oven. However, sometimes this function can stop working, which means you will have to find the underlying cause of the problem and fix it. In this step-by-step guide, we will take you through what you need to do to get your GE oven self-cleaning function working again.

If your GE self-cleaning oven function isn’t working, the first thing to do is to check the temperature of your oven. If you have just used your oven, it might be too hot for the self-cleaning cycle to start. This is because when you use the self-cleaning function, your GE oven will heat up to 880 degrees Fahrenheit (or 471 degrees Celsius), so if your oven is already hot, your oven might not allow the self-cleaning process to begin.
Follow these steps to check the oven temperature:
The next step is to do a simple reset of your oven. Sometimes this will get the control board to allow the self-cleaning function to start. To reset your oven, turn the power off for a minute before turning it back on. Once reset, check if the self-clean function works. If not, move on to the next step.
If your oven temperature isn’t the cause of the problem and/or a reset doesn’t work, the next step is to make sure the self-clean settings are correct. Depending on if your GE oven has mechanical timers, electronic controls, or it’s a double-wall oven, they need to be set correctly for the self-cleaning cycle to begin.

Follow these steps if you have a double-wall oven:
Double-wall ovens only allow you to use the self-cleaning function on one oven at a time. If you have tried to turn the self-cleaning cycle on for both ovens and it hasn’t worked this is the reason both ovens haven’t been able to clean.
Using the self-clean functionality on double wall ovens is further complicated by different models having different control setups.
If your GE double wall oven has the same controls for both ovens, here’s what you need to do:
If your GE double wall oven has separate controls for each oven, here’s what you need to do:
