Convection Feature Works
on March 3, 2014
Posted by: Berlin
from Indiana
My recent purchase of GE Model JK5500SFSS (27 in) was my first for a convection oven. My wife tried a test to confirm the convection feature. She placed cookies on shelves 2 and 4 and set it for Traditional Bake. Now, I realize multiple shelve cooking is not recommended for Traditional Bake. The results were the cookies on shelf 2 were brown on the bottom and fully baked. The cookies on shelf 4 were not brown on the bottom and the dough was not fully baked. They had to be put back into the oven to finish baking.
Next, cookie sheets were placed on shelves 1, 3 and 5 and set for Convection Bake Multi Rack. The results were all the cookies were cooked evenly and had equal color brown for all sheets. So, for this one test the convection feature seem t o work and demonstrated that convection heating for multiple shelve baking did work well.

Although it was difficult to tell, the doneness of the cookies might have been improved if we had allowed a little more time to bake. This comment is also mentioned by GE for multiple shelve baking.
Finally, I have read reports of excessive fan noise for some manufacturers. For this oven the fan noise is quiet and not an issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pleased with Purchase
on January 4, 2014
Posted by: GoGopher6
from Detroit metro area
Purchased as replacement just ahead of Christmas season. Installation went well. Fit and finish are excellent. Used extensively over holidays for roasts, cookies, proofing and baking breads and warming. Convection upper works well, and though I am new to convection cooking, the learning process went smoothly. Fan sound is low and very acceptable. Pre-heating time is very acceptable. Have not tried cleaning features, and never have seen a point to delayed start timers, so that feature is also untested. Racks move very well in comparison to very old unit that was replaced.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Bought my wife this a couple of months ago to replace a 20 year old double oven. She loves it - so do I!.. Great features; superior interior lighting and everything works as it should.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Doesn't heat up and only shows 100
on June 9, 2018

from Lafayette, in
Unfortunately after being installed, this product was only show 100 when set for any temperature and will not heat up. The fan will kick on and will click every minute or so. And still does not heat up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Basic oven features
on January 30, 2019
Posted by: Daniesza
from NY
It’s a bottom of the line oven but I needed to replace my 30-year old GE oven that was in perfect working condition but the keypad was beeping. So I had a smaller odd dimension that required this particular double oven.
It’s basic, takes forever to reach desired temperature takes forever to cool down with noisy fan for like 40 minutes.
It has a delay start timer but not a cook timer so why on earth would that be helpful?? The exact same model for single wall oven however has this important feature.
Not recommended UNLESS you have no other choice.

Faulty motherboard, part not available to fix it
on January 25, 2021
Posted by: MamaWats
from Potomac, MD
My GE double wall oven was purchased new less than three years ago. So imagine my surprise when I was told that the motherboard had failed when I tried to cook my Christmas Eve dinner!
And worse, apparently this is such a common problem that there are NO parts (WB27X29610) available for this oven either at the GE Parts website or any of the after-market sources. The repair professional also reported to me that this problem (motherboard failure) is a fairly common problem in this model oven. This is clearly poor design if this problem is so common!
So beyond upset trying to grill outside.
