What FC
actually means.
FC carries the same meaning as F9 on GE's list: something in the door lock circuit has failed. On a GE Profile with self-clean, that circuit includes the latch motor and the switches that report its position.

What to do when FC shows on the rangeKind of codeDoor and lock
The oven door lock did not move to where the control sent it, or its switch reported the wrong position. It shows up most around self-clean; the latch, its switches, the hinges and how squarely the door closes are looked at before the lock motor is changed.
Usually leads toDoor hinge, gasket and lock repair
An oven door that will not close, sits crooked, leaks heat, or stays locked after self-clean, traced to the hinges, the gasket, the glass or the lock.
Shows up asRange Self-Clean Problems
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 Profile's own guidance for FC on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Let the oven cool completely and reset the breaker.
If FC stays or the door will not unlock, book a visit instead of forcing it.

Gas range
Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.
Electric range
Coil elements or radiant elements under a smooth glass top, with an electric oven below, all running on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.
Dual-fuel range
Gas burners on top and an electric oven below, the combination most professional-style ranges use, needing both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.
