GE model CVM2072SM1SS is stuck in demo mode - GE Advantium SCA2000B Microwave Oven

SOURCE: Demo Mode

Unplug the microwave for at least 3 minutes, then plug it back in, and BEFORE SETTING THE CLOCK, press and hold power level and start for three seconds. This should flash "demo mode off". Set the clock as normal. Enjoy!

I just bought a condo with a GE Spacemaker Mod# JVM1860SD
that was stuck in demo mode. (This mod# has been replaced by the JVM1870*** series)

I called GE twice in two days, and finally got someone who had the solution (and it worked):

1. Unplug the unit for at least 30 seconds
2. Plug the unit back in DO NOT SET THE CLOCK
3. While the unit is still "booting up" and the display screen is lit with gibberish, HOLD THE POWER LEVEL AND THE ZERO BUTTON for at least 5 seconds.
4. After 5 seconds, the screen will display "demo mode off"

I will need a model and serial no to further assist you

SOURCE: stuck in demo mode after power outage - any ideas

Talked to GE Help Line (1-800-626-2005) and found out the magic key combination for this microwave. Plug in after being unplugged for at least 30 sec. and then press Help plus Boost at same time for 3-4 seconds (until it beeps). The microwave will now be in normal mode (I assume you do this to put it in demo mode as well).

These covers are usually available at your local appliance parts store, and are not expensive. Glue can damage the keypad, trippling your repair cost.

Hope this helps.
