Nice Oven With A Safety Flaw

For the most part I am happy with this oven but it has one major flaw. During a self cleaning cycle last year we experienced a power outage where I now had an extremely hot oven with no ventilation. The outage was long enough that our countertop became hot to the touch and when power finally did restore, the lcd screen was mostly black, with only partial screen display at the top, as if the screen itself was damaged. Fortunately, after venting and cooling, the screen returned to normal.
That said, there should be an emergency feature that allows you to manually unlock the oven to vent. This is a fire risk that should be addressed immediately. The alternative is GE could design electromagnetic locks that engage with power but release in a power outage.
Other ovens may have this design flaw and it’s a fluke chance you are performing a self-oven clean and experience a power outage but due to the safety risk, it should be addressed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This oven is our first with a built in air fryer. That has been a lot of fun. I like to turn it on at the end of a bake to crisp up the edges of the food. It also has wifi which I probably will never use but it's still kind of cool. It seems to cook very evenly and accurately. The touch screen is nice and easy to use except it grows suddenly insensitive when I'm trying to turn off the timer alarm. It can take up to five tries to get it to stop alarming.
