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? |
