Sabbath Mode on Ovens and Refrigerators

Many ovens and refrigerators have a Sabbath mode, made for households that don't operate appliances on the Sabbath and holidays. It changes how the appliance behaves, and if someone turns it on by accident, the appliance can look broken.

On many ovens, Sabbath mode:

• Keeps the oven at a set temperature for much longer than the normal automatic shutoff allows.
• Turns off the display lights and the beeps, and ignores most key presses.
• Leaves the oven light in whatever state it was in when the mode started, on some models.

On many refrigerators, Sabbath mode:

• Turns off the interior lights, the dispenser and the door alarms.
• Pauses the ice maker on some models.

How to turn it off: on most models you press and hold a key, or a pair of keys, for several seconds. The exact keys differ by brand and model, and the manual lists them, often in a section titled Sabbath. If the appliance still won't respond after the mode is off, or the oven never heats at all, book a visit. The technician checks the control, the keypad and the parts behind it.

Timers, Delay Start and the 12-Hour Shutoff

Modern ovens have several timing features, and each can make an oven seem dead when it's doing exactly what it was told.

• The 12-hour shutoff. Many ovens turn themselves off after about 12 hours of continuous use, as a safety feature. Some let you switch that off in the settings.
• Delay start. If a delayed start was set, the oven waits until that time before heating. The display usually shows a clock symbol or the word "Delay."
• Cook time. With a cook time set, the oven shuts off when it runs out, sometimes before the food is done.
• The kitchen timer. It only beeps; it doesn't turn the oven on or off.

Clear any timer you didn't mean to set, then try a normal bake. If the oven still won't heat, shuts off far earlier than it should, or the clock keeps resetting, the control or a power problem may be to blame, and a technician can test both.

A Keypad That Won't Respond

Most refrigerators with a front display, and many ranges, have a control lock. It stops children, pets or a sleeve brushing the panel from changing the settings. When it's on, every press is ignored, and on a fridge the dispenser may stop working too.

• Look for a lock symbol or a word such as "Lock" on the display.
• Press and hold the lock key for a few seconds; on many models it's about three. The manual names the right key.
• Wipe the panel dry. Water or cleaner on a touch panel can make it act up.
• Switch the appliance off at the breaker for a minute if the panel has frozen; this lets the control restart.

If the panel stays unresponsive after the lock is off, keys work only some of the time, or the display flickers, the keypad or the control board may have failed. The technician can test both and replace the one at fault with a genuine or OEM-approved part.

When the Building Schedules a Power Shutdown

Condo buildings sometimes cut power to the units for a few hours for electrical work, and management usually posts the date in advance. A little preparation keeps the food safe and helps the appliances come back without trouble.

• Turn the fridge and freezer a notch colder the day before, and set the dial back afterward.
• Fill empty freezer space with containers of water; frozen, they help hold the cold.
• Keep both doors closed during the shutdown. Per USDA, a closed fridge keeps food safe for about 4 hours, and a full freezer for about 48.
• Switch off the oven, the cooktop and the wine cooler at their controls before the power goes out.
• After power returns, check that the fridge starts within several minutes and reset the clocks.

If an appliance stays silent, shows an error or won't cool once the building is back on, book a visit and mention the shutdown to the dispatcher.
