What Solid Start light
actually means.
On a KitchenAid commercial-style stove, Sabbath Mode leaves only the Start button lit and steady. In that mode only Bake runs, as one continuous cycle, and tones are silent.

What to do when Solid Start light shows on the stoveKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the stove was switched into, often by accident, rather than something that broke: a control lock pressed while wiping the panel, a Sabbath setting, a showroom demo mode that lights the display and heats nothing, a reminder that a spot on the stovetop is still hot. No part is worn out, and the stove's own keys put it right.

The clock and display on the stove have gone dark, or they flash the time, a word or a string of characters and ignore the keys you press.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from KitchenAid's own guidance for Solid Start light on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the owner's manual for how to leave Sabbath Mode on your model.
Turn it off and set the oven as usual.
If the light stays and the stove will not leave the mode, book a visit.
Cleared?
The stove is working again and no part was needed. If the same letters come back while a burner or the oven is on, or the stove switches itself off again in the middle of dinner, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
A steady Start light is not a stuck button. It is how the stove shows Sabbath Mode.
