Turn the Mode knob to a different position. ### Why won't my KitchenAid oven start when I press Start? It may have been pressed before it started flashing. Reset the knobs and try again. ### How do I reset my KitchenAid after pressing Start too soon? Turn the Mode knob to a new position and the Temp knob to Off, then set it again. ### Is a white blinking light on a KitchenAid a problem? Usually not. It is a setting step; amber lights are the error signal. --- **[Read on the site: KitchenAid commercial-style stove with a blinking Start button](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/kitchenaid-blinking-start-button/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
