The oven was not heating, and the display continuously showed the word “TEST”, preventing normal operation of both the cooktop and the oven. This condition typically indicates that the appliance has entered a diagnostic or demonstration mode, in which standard heating functions are disabled.
After arriving on site, our technician performed a full inspection of the unit. All settings were carefully reset to the original factory configuration, and every function of the range was tested to verify proper operation. Once the reset was completed and the system was checked, the appliance returned to normal performance. Both the oven and the cooktop were able to heat correctly, and no additional faults were detected.
This case highlights the importance of proper diagnostic procedures when an appliance shows unusual messages or becomes unresponsive. Modern ranges contain multiple safety, software, and configuration layers that can affect how the appliance behaves. A professional evaluation ensures that the correct mode is identified, the system is properly reset, and the appliance is safe and ready for use. If a range or oven displays unexpected codes, does not heat, or appears to be stuck in a test mode, a structured diagnostic approach is essential to restore full functionality.
