What does Electrolux Professional GbCU mean?
GbCU means the upper cavity gas burner on a gas SkyLine oven has locked out, and the cooking cycle is paused. The oven will not operate until burner function is restored. It is commonly caused by air in the gas line, a closed gas supply, an electrical supply issue to the burner system, or an internal burner failure.
Symptoms
- GbCU displayed and the cycle pauses
- Upper cavity gas burner not igniting

Common causes
- Air in the gas supply
- Gas supply is closed
- Issue with the electric supply of the burner system
- Burner system internal failure
Diagnostic steps

When to call a professional
Staff can confirm the gas main valve is open and power-cycle the oven. Call an Electrolux Professional gas engineer if GbCU persists after these steps, since air in the supply, an electrical fault in the burner system, or an internal burner failure require trained gas diagnosis. Gas burner faults must be handled by a qualified technician, both for correct repair and for safety.
