What DOOR LOCK
actually means.
A flashing DOOR LOCK on GE electric ranges such as the JB735 means self-clean was chosen but the door is not shut. The lock cannot engage until it is.

What to do when DOOR LOCK shows on the rangeKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the range was told to do, or a state it chose on purpose — a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a demo mode that lights the display but never heats, a pan warning on an induction zone. Nothing has worn out, and no part is needed.
Usually leads toNo repair
Push the oven door firmly shut.

The self-clean cycle will not start, stops partway, leaves the door locked, smokes heavily, or leaves the oven dead afterward.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE's own guidance for DOOR LOCK on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Push the oven door firmly shut.
If the door is closed and DOOR LOCK still flashes, check that nothing blocks the latch area, then book a visit.
Cleared?
The range was set right without a new part. If the same message comes back while a burner or the oven is in use, or the range cuts out again, treat it as a new problem and book it.
What not to do
A flashing DOOR LOCK is not the F9 lock circuit code.
