We got a bit overly aggressive cleaning the control panel on a GE JC16Y oven and bent the temperature indicating needle. Any advice on how to fix this error and maintain proper calibration?

Are you talking about the needle in the meat thermometer? I can't think of another temperature indicating needle.

Yes, the red needle under the glass.

You're safe. It has no bearing on oven operation. I am not going to ask what you did to bend it.

Took the glass out to clean that and the face panel. The damp cloth snagged the end of the of the needle and bent it. Can it safely be bent back into place?

Perhaps if you can get some flat nose pliers on the unbent end, you can use your fingers or another set of flat nose pliers to bend the rest back. One caution might be that if the metal has been over-stressed by the first bend it might break off when bent back.

Yes just bend it back with your finger.
