What we can confirm
Signal DEMO MODE, from the manufacturer's own documentation
This code has no number, because this equipment has no display to put one on. The appliance signals it instead — an alarm, a symbol or a pattern of lights — and what it means is recorded in the documentation that ships with it.
The signal
DEMO MODE
The oven lights up, accepts every setting, counts down a preheat — and never gets warm. Demo mode is the showroom state, and it exists so a floor model can be operated without heating a shop. It reaches a kitchen two ways: an appliance that came from a display floor, or a button combination pressed by accident during setup. We list it as a code because it costs people a service call every year, and because on a newly renovated kitchen — which is most of this make's installations — a cold new oven reads as a dead new oven.

What else belongs to the wall ovens
On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.
Other codes this appliance can display
Thermal runaway. Please reset the range by disconnecting the power to the unit for up to 30 seconds. You can disconnect power by either unplugging the unit or flipping the circuit breaker off and back on.
Open Probe. Please reset the range by disconnecting the power to the unit for up to 30 seconds. You can disconnect power by either unplugging the unit or flipping the circuit breaker off and back on.

About Oven signal DEMO MODE
What the appliance is actually reporting
The oven lights up, accepts every setting, counts down a preheat — and never gets warm. Demo mode is the showroom state, and it exists so a floor model can be operated without heating a shop. It reaches a kitchen two ways: an appliance that came from a display floor, or a button combination pressed by accident during setup. We list it as a code because it costs people a service call every year, and because on a newly renovated kitchen — which is most of this make's installations — a cold new oven reads as a dead new oven.
Where this appears, and why not to clear it
On the appliance's own display, as a short single code — a letter and a number, or two letters. Nothing alternates and nothing arrives in halves on this make, so what the panel shows is the whole of it. Photograph it before you cut the power. This maker's own answer to most of these is thirty seconds at the breaker, and that is worth following once — but a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again.
What to do about it
- Check the panel for a demo or display indicator before anything else. On most of these it is written on the screen once you know to look.
- Turn the oven off at the breaker, wait forty-five seconds, and switch it back on — the maker's own timing, and it is longer than the usual thirty for a reason.
- Open the settings menu, scroll to demo mode, and turn it off.
- If the oven still never warms and demo mode is off, it is not this — note that it was ruled out, because it saves the next person repeating it.
Where this goes next
The job this usually becomes is diagnostic visit, and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call (305) 912-9018 and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
