What to do when PUSH 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 burners on top work, but the oven underneath stays cold, heats only a little, or never reaches the temperature you set.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Whirlpool's own guidance for PUSH on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press Start.
If the setting was canceled, choose it again and press Start right after.
If PUSH shows even after pressing Start, the Start pad may not be registering; reset power and book a visit if it continues.
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
PUSH is not an error in the oven. It is a reminder to finish the setting.
