What Demo Mode means

On JennAir electric, gas and dual-fuel ranges with electronic control, like the JES1750FS or JIS1450DS, Demo Mode means the control is in demonstration mode. It is meant for showroom floors on a 120 V connection, and it lets the control features be shown without the oven turning on. While it is active, the oven will not work. You will see the display respond but nothing heats.

Common causes of Demo Mode

  • Demonstration mode was switched on from the control
  • The range was set up from a display model
  • Keys were pressed in a sequence that activates the mode
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Do not expect heat while the message is shown. 2. Check the owner's guide or control guide for your model for the steps to leave demonstration mode. 3. Turn the range off at the breaker for one minute and back on. 4. Try a short Bake. 5. If the oven still does not heat, call us.

! Why to stop there
  • This is a setting, so a part replacement would be money wasted.
  • Exact steps differ by model, and wrong key presses may not help.
  • If the setting will not turn off, the control needs a technician.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Demo ModeDemo Mode questions
Why is my new oven not heating?

If the display says Demo Mode, the control is in its showroom setting and keeps the oven from turning on. Once it is turned off per your guide, the oven can heat.

Is Demo Mode an error?

No. It is a feature, not a problem with the range. The oven stays off by design until the mode is turned off, and nothing needs to be replaced.

Can you turn off Demo Mode for me?

Yes. If you cannot find the steps for your model, call us. We can switch it off, test the oven, and give you a price in writing if anything else is wrong.
