What Press Cancel to Reset means

On Whirlpool built-in wall ovens in single, double and microwave-combination styles, such as the WOD51EC0HS and WOS72EC7HS, the display may ask you to press Cancel to reset. This message appears when the oven detects an error while it is running. Pressing the Cancel button or pad clears it for most owners. If Call Service then shows on the screen, a power reset is the next step.

Common causes of Press Cancel to Reset

  • A one-time error during a cycle
  • Touchpad or control trouble that comes back
  • A condition that triggers Call Service after Cancel
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press the Cancel pad once. 2. If Call Service appears, turn the oven's circuit breaker off for one full minute. 3. Turn the breaker back on. 4. Start a bake cycle. 5. Watch the display for a minute to see if the message returns.

! Why to stop there
  • Cancel clears the screen but does not tell us what triggered the prompt.
  • If it returns after a reset, we check the control and its connections with the oven powered down.
  • You receive a written price before anything is done, and the repair is covered by a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Press Cancel to ResetPress Cancel to Reset questions
Is it safe to press Cancel?

Yes. It is the step the oven itself asks for, and it stops the cycle that was running. Wait for the oven to cool if it was hot before you check the food.

What if Call Service appears after I press Cancel?

Turn off the oven breaker for one full minute, then restore it and start a bake. If Call Service comes back, stop using the oven and contact us.

Does this happen only on newer ovens?

No. Older wall ovens still in many homes can show it too. We repair them and tell you plainly if the repair would not be worth the cost.
