Kenmore refrigerator in demo mode - Kenmore 73503 Stainless Steel Bottom Freezer Refrigerator

If your Kenmore Elite refrigerator model 106.5177 is not cooling properly and you suspect it might be in demo mode, you can follow these steps to try to disable demo mode and troubleshoot the cooling issue:

1. Check for Demo Mode:
   • Look for any display indicators or icons on the refrigerator's control panel that indicate it is in demo mode. Refer to the user manual for your specific model to identify these indicators.
2. Disable Demo Mode:
   • If you identify that the refrigerator is in demo mode, you will need to disable it. The exact procedure may vary depending on the specific model and control panel. However, a common method is to press and hold a combination of buttons on the control panel simultaneously for a few seconds until the demo mode is turned off. Refer to the user manual for your model to find the correct button combination.
3. Power Cycle the Refrigerator:
   • After disabling demo mode, unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet and wait for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in. This power cycle may help reset any settings and restore normal operation.
4. Temperature Settings:
   • Make sure the temperature settings for both the refrigerator and freezer compartments are set to the desired levels. Allow some time (usually a few hours) for the refrigerator to reach the proper temperature after adjusting the settings.
5. Check Condenser Coils:
   • Ensure that the condenser coils located at the back or underneath the refrigerator are clean and not obstructed by dust or debris. Dirty coils can hinder the cooling efficiency.
6. Check Door Seals:
   • Verify that the door seals are intact and sealing properly. Improperly sealed doors can lead to loss of cooling.
7. Check for Airflow Obstructions:
   • Make sure that there are no obstructions blocking the airflow to and from the refrigerator, both inside and outside.
8. Allow Time for Cooling:
   • Refrigerators typically take several hours to cool down and reach the desired temperature after being powered on or after any adjustments.
9. Professional Assistance:
   • If the refrigerator still does not cool properly after attempting these troubleshooting steps, it's recommended to contact Kenmore customer support or a professional appliance technician for further diagnosis and repair.

Remember that electrical appliances can be complex, and improper troubleshooting or repairs can lead to safety hazards or further damage. If you're unsure or uncomfortable with any step, it's best to seek professional assistance.

Demo Mode is used in the showroom to light up the fridge and not provide cooling.

On one model you do the following: To get it out of the demo mode, press and hold the "up" and "set" pad for 10 seconds.

Hello friend, that's a great question!
In order to put your Frigidaire refrigerator FGHB2866PF into demo mode you would need to push and hold the "up arrow" on your freezer and the "down arrow" on your refrigerator for five seconds. Once your appliance has went into demo mode both the refrigerator and freezer display should read 77. Hope this information helps. -Matt

Try pressing ultra ice and home while the refrigerator door is opened,or ultra ice and the refrigerator pad with the freezer opened. Hold for five seconds. Hope that works.

It sounds like you have one of two issues there. Maybe you need to turn it off and wait for 10 minutes for it to reset (compressor has "vapor-locked" and the freon is not able to circulate through the compressor). The other option to try is that the refrigerator has entered into "demo" mode. This is the mode that it is usually put into in stores so that the compressor is not running, but all other things work for demonstration on a showroom floor. A voltage spike might have shocked it into the demo mode and will work in all ways except for a blinking light indicating the demo mode as well as no compressor activity to cool anything... Look in your operator manual to see if they mention the demo mode and how to enter and exit it.

Hope that helps.. I have seen both of these situations though.

It is running in "store-demo" mode. Fancy light-show, and the compressor turns off (bad!)
Hold down the right-most two buttons (Ice and refrigerator temp) for about 5 seconds. I think the right-door needs to be open for this to work, but not sure.
This will activate the fridge once again.

I have the same fridge. Called Kenmore and they said they couldn't do anything unless I made a service call. I did not want to pay someone to push a few buttons and fix the problem. So in a desperate attempt to not have to pay for a service call, I turned off all the power in the kitchen, for 30 seconds and turned it back on and the demo mode was over. So, you may just want to try that.
