Introduction
ABOUT THE SABBATH MODE
This feature was designed for use on the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays. The Sabbath Mode feature makes it possible
for observant Jews to refrigerate and freeze food during the duration of the holiday. When set, the Sabbath Mode
feature will override typical reactions to actions in your refrigerator.
While in Sabbath Mode your refrigerator will still operate normally, but the refrigerator will not respond to your actions.
The fan may or may not be running when the door is opened; however, this is not a result of your actions. The fan will
operate at random times.

• The defrost heater will continue to defrost the
refrigerator and freezer.
• The proximity sensor and dispenser touch sensor
icons on the ice and water dispenser will not operate.
• Ice and water cannot be retrieved from the dispenser

• The defrost heater will be activated on a fixed timer
during Sabbath Mode. Defrost heater will not defrost
as a result of door openings or any action by the

The refrigerator’s Master Light Switch may have accidentally been set to OFF. The Master Light Switch must be
turned ON for the interior lights to function properly. Refer to the refrigerator’s Owner’s Manual for the location
of the switch.
• Why won’t the icemaker in my Side-by-Side refrigerator work after turning the Sabbath Mode feature off?
Make sure the icemaker power switch is in the I (on) position. The Sabbath Mode switch does not affect or control
the icemaker on Side-by-Side refrigerator models. Instead, the icemaker is disabled by opening the ice bin and
