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

02

Try a breaker reset: power off for a minute or two, then back on.

03

Book a visit if LOC DOOR keeps flashing or the door stays locked.

Questions
about LOC DOOR.

Can I clear LOC DOOR myself?
Make sure self-clean was not started by accident. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why is LOC DOOR flashing on my GE when I did not start self-clean?
GE says the controls may need a reset. A breaker off-and-on often clears it.
Is LOC DOOR on a GE the same as child lock?
No. Child lock shows LOC alone and just disables the keypad; LOC DOOR is about the latch.

Still showing LOC DOOR?

Book with the code exactly as shown, the full model number, and whether you can smell gas or burning — with a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
