What Demo
actually means.
Demo, or showroom, mode lights the display and interior for a store floor but keeps the refrigerator from cooling. Changing the temperature does nothing while it is on. The mode has to be turned off; no part has failed.

What to do when Demo shows on the refrigeratorKind of codeMode, not a failure
A setting somebody chose, or an alert it raised on purpose — a showroom mode, a door or power alarm. Nothing has broken and no part is needed.

Confirm the signs: normal lights and display, no cold air, little compressor noise after several hours.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for Demo on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Confirm the signs: normal lights and display, no cold air, little compressor noise after several hours.
Use the exit steps in the owner's manual for your model number, since they differ between models.
After leaving the mode, allow several hours before judging the temperature.
Have the model number ready if you need help finding the button combination.
Cleared?
Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.
What not to do
It is not a cooling failure and needs no parts.

JennAir refrigerator repair
Built-in refrigerator
Flush with the cabinets, serviced from the front, and almost always repaired rather than replaced.
Refrigerator column
Separate refrigerator and freezer towers, each with its own sealed system — so a failure stays on one side.
French door refrigerator
Two fresh-food doors over a freezer drawer — the most common premium layout, and the one with the most to go wrong at the door line.
In JennAir's own words
The display and interior lights work normally; some models may show “Demo,” “Showroom,” or “Shwrm.”
Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Some models display Demo, Showroom or Shwrm; others give no on-screen sign beyond not cooling.
