We installed this and haven't used it yet. I'm tempted to send it back as there is no light switch to see inside the oven during cooking. I didn't even know that was a possibility that it might not have one. Who makes an oven without one?!? I'm so frustrated by this. Our old GE oven was awful and we only bought another GE because it fit the space. This is a really odd design move. Not cool.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Jpetie,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your oven. We regret your experience.
While hearing the negative feedback is difficult for us, we do really strive to learn from our customer's experiences, positive or negative. This is what helps us improve our products.
I have shared your concerns with our Product Quality Engineers. Thank you for your feedback.
I had one just like this that we purchased in 1997. We only had to replace the bottom heating element in all of those years. I bake all the time so I used my oven a lot. That's why we bought another GE oven. They are great.
We have had this oven for a little over a month now, and are quite pleased with its performance! The only gripe for me? No oven light to turn on and check what's in the oven while cooking...
I love the fact that the heater elements are hidden but that also means it takes about 1/2 hour to preheat. Also found out that when the oven says it is done preheating (after about 10-15 minutes), it is not actually at the temperature that you set it for, it just means it is warm enough to put food into. Biggest problem is there is no way to turn on the light inside without opening the door and letting the heat out. I can adjust to that since I am not a baker but cannot recommend this product to bakers.
it is ok but does not self clean and takes a long time to warm up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello sandyott,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review on your new wall oven. We regret your experience, however, we do offer a model with the self clean feature.
If you feel the unit needs service, please take advantage of your warranty and schedule an appointment with a GE Service Technician by calling 1-800-GE-CARES (432-2737).
I bought this about a year ago and hate it so much I want to write this review to warn others off. I refer to it as my moron appliance. What do I hate about it? 1. It takes FOREVER to preheat, and while it's preheating, the display just says 'PrE' the whole time, instead of giving the temperature readings as it warms up so you know how close you are to the temperature you want. 2. There is no way to turn the interior light on while the door is closed, so to check on anything in the oven you have to open the door and let the heat escape. Just plain idiotic. 3. There is no self-clean function. There's something called steam clean, but when I used it the water never evaporated into steam and the oven was not a bit cleaner than before. 4. To set the temperature, you always have to start at 350 and go up or down from there. I often bake at 425 or hotter, so I almost always have to stand there with my finger on the button. My old oven automatically started at the temperature I had last used. Duh! 5. The timer keeps on bleating until you walk over and turn it off. Fine if you are using it to time something you have to take out of the oven anyway, a real pain in the neck if you are using it to time something else in the kitchen and you have to stop what you're doing, walk over and hit the button to stop it from beeping. I think that's it, but if I had more time to write this review, I'd probably think of other things I don't like.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
