Check the model label; the 795.7303 Kenmore Elite guide is where this Demo Mode procedure comes from. ### Why does my new Kenmore Elite show OFF and not cool? It may have left a showroom still in Demo Mode, which runs the lights and display while cooling stays off. That is a setting, not a dead compressor or a failed board. ### How do I know Demo Mode is off on my Kenmore 795.7303? After holding Refrigerator Temp and Ultra Ice for five seconds with a fresh food door open, listen for the beep and look for the temperature settings on the display. Wait several hours before loading food, and book a visit if it stays warm. --- **[Read on the site: Kenmore refrigerator showing OFF | RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-off-demo-795/)** **[Book a visit with RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/schedule/)**
