If you’re the proud owner of an LG microwave, you might have encountered the dreaded “demo mode.” This mode, designed for store displays, can be frustrating for home users who want to utilize their appliance’s full functionality. But fear not! Getting your LG microwave out of demo mode is a simple process that can be completed in a few easy steps.

How to Exit Demo Mode

1. Unplug the Microwave

Before you begin, unplug the microwave from the power outlet. This will ensure your safety and prevent any accidental activation during the process.

2. Press the “Stop/Clear” Button

With the microwave unplugged, press and hold the “Stop/Clear” button for approximately 5 seconds. You may hear a beep or see the display change, indicating that you have entered the programming mode.

3. Enter the Code

Depending on your LG microwave model, you will need to enter a specific code to exit demo mode. Here are the most common codes:

  • 9336
  • 9337
  • 9338

4. Press “Start”

Once you have entered the code, press the “Start” button. The microwave will beep and the display will change, indicating that you have successfully exited demo mode.

5. Replug the Microwave

Plug the microwave back into the power outlet and turn it on. You should now be able to use it normally.

Troubleshooting

If the above steps do not work:

  • Check the model number of your microwave to ensure you are using the correct code.
  • Make sure you press and hold the “Stop/Clear” button for the full 5 seconds.
