Solution

Error Code Description:

  • The Sabbath Mode is a feature that disables portions of the refrigerator and its controls in accordance with observance of the weekly Sabbath and religious holidays within the Orthodox Jewish community.
  • NOTE: In the Sabbath Mode, the High Temp alarm is active for health reasons. For example, if the door is left ajar the High Temp alarm is activated. The refrigerator will function normally once the door is closed, without any violation of the Sabbath/Holidays. The High Temp alarm is permitted when cabinet temperature is outside the safe zone for 20 minutes. The alarm silences itself after 10 minutes while the High Temp icon stays lit until the Sabbath mode is exited.

How to turn off Sabbath Mode

  • Sabbath Mode is turned ON and OFF by simultaneously pressing and holding both the “−” and “Temp F-C” for five seconds. The display shows “Sb” while in Sabbath mode.
  • NOTE: While in Sabbath Mode, neither the lights, dispenser, nor the control panel will work until Sabbath Mode is deactivated. Refrigerator stays in Sabbath Mode after power failure recovery. It must be deactivated with the buttons on the control panel.
