Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Maytag's own guidance for Demo Mode on its ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Open the Tools menu, go to INFO, and switch Store Demo Mode off.

02

Confirm when asked, then start a bake to check heating.

Cleared?

The oven came through without a new part. If the same message returns during a later bake, or the oven stops heating partway through, book it as a fresh problem.

What not to do

A cold oven with a working screen is not necessarily a failed element; check for Demo Mode first.

What you may
notice with it.

The oven problems Demo Mode tends to arrive with. Answer these at the oven before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

A setting someone switched on, or a state the oven entered on purpose — a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a showroom mode that lights the display without heating. No part has broken and nothing has to be replaced.

In Maytag's own words

Questions
about Demo Mode.

Can I clear Demo Mode myself?
Open the Tools menu, go to INFO, and switch Store Demo Mode off.
Why does my new Maytag oven not heat even though the screen works?
It may have left the store in Demo Mode, which keeps the elements off. Turn Store Demo Mode off under Tools and INFO.
Will a breaker reset take my Maytag out of Demo Mode?
Maytag gives a menu path to switch it off, so use that rather than relying on a power cycle.

Still showing Demo Mode?

Book with the code exactly as shown, the full model number, and whether you can smell gas or burning — with a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
