Step 1

Check to make sure the KitchenAid oven is firmly connected to a live power outlet. The power cord should be connected completely into the oven as well as the outlet.

Unlock the control lock setting if nothing will work on the display. Press "Start" and hold for five seconds. A beep will sound and "Controls Unlocked" will appear on the display. The display pads will now work.

Step 4

Adjust the display contrast if the display has power but nothing appears on the display. Press "Settings" and then "Display Contrast." Adjust to a higher contrast by pressing the "Up" arrow button and then press "OK" to confirm.
