The Cafe wall oven has lots of Great features. I like the larger window and been able to preheat the oven, and get notification of the timer, remotely. I do wish there was a manual explaining how to use the Air fry feature. Other than the Air dry heating up faster, I can’t tell the difference between that and Convection Roast. I’m still trying to work out between Convection & Bake , which is better for baking a large cake. The convection does seem to brown the top more. I haven’t tried the thermometer probe. The steam clean mode is so- so. I haven’t tried the self clean. Generally it’s a great easy to use oven with great features.
We love this oven and have it used it everyday since it was installed. Recently the screen locks when the timer is going off, and it's becoming more and more frustrating each time it happens. Is there an update or something that can fix this? It's ridiculous for such an expensive oven. Thanks

Hello,
We’re so happy to hear that you’ve been loving your new oven, but we’re sorry to hear that you’ve been having trouble with the screen locking while the timer goes off. We know issues like this are incredibly frustrating, especially on something you use frequently. We would first suggest that you reset the unit, either by unplugging it or by flipping the breaker, for at least two minutes. You can also check for software updates using the SmartHQ app on your phone. The video from our Smart Home team below shows you how to do that:

I love the fact that I’m able to control my oven thru Wi-Fi. No longer have to worry if I left the oven on when I leave the house. I can preheat at my convenience
We selected GE Cafe appliances for our new home. I've had good experiences with GE appliances in the past. However, my experience with the GE Cafe appliances after one year have been subpar. I had an issue with the oven door locking after a 4 hour cleaning cycle and could get the door opened. Due to back log on service it took almost 4 weeks for the repair and I could not use my oven. It was recommended not to use the 4 hour cleaning cycle due to how hot the oven gets and this a common problem with the door lock. Why put a feature on the oven when it causes a the oven to malfunction? Other than this problem I've not had any other issues with the oven or at least not yet, it's been a year.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for your range. So sorry to hear about the issues you've had with your oven door not unlocking after a Self Clean cycle, we can understand how that'd be frustrating. The oven will need to cool after the Self Clean cycle but once the oven has cooled a bit, the door will automatically unlock. If it doesn't, then we recommend taking a look at this article to see if it helps: https://products.geappliances.com/appliance/gea-support-search-content?contentId=16619&_ga=2.185974945.960355765.1669637958-1306365621.1669134778
If it doesn't help, then service would be needed. Our team can be found here should you need to reach them: https://www.cafeappliances.com/support/schedule-service
We do hope this helps.
