# Liebherr SabbathMode: why the freezer went quiet

SabbathMode turns off several functions for religious observance.

## What SabbathMode actually means.

SabbathMode turns off several functions for religious observance. On Liebherr freezers there is no door alarm and no temperature alarm in this mode, and after a power failure no message appears; the appliance simply goes back to SabbathMode when the power returns.

What to do when SabbathMode shows on the freezer

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

A setting the freezer was put into, often by accident or by the store it came from, rather than a part that broke: a showroom or demo mode that lights the display while the compressor stays off, a fast freeze left running for days, a Sabbath setting that silences the alarms, a control lock, a door alarm reminding you the door stood open. Nothing has worn out, and the freezer's own buttons or manual put it back.

### Usually leads to No repair

If alarms seem missing, check the display for the SabbathMode symbol before assuming a failure.

### Shows up as Freezer Alarm Beeping

A freezer alarm beeping keeps sounding, from a short chirp that repeats to a steady tone, often with a flashing light or a temperature on the display that is higher than it should be.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Liebherr's own guidance for SabbathMode on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

If alarms seem missing, check the display for the SabbathMode symbol before assuming a failure.

02

After any power outage in SabbathMode, check the food yourself, since the freezer will not warn you.

03

Turn the mode off in the settings when it is no longer needed.

### Cleared?

The freezer is holding its temperature again and no part had to be replaced. If the same code comes back within a few days, or the packages start to soften again, book it as a fresh problem.

### What not to do

SabbathMode is not a failed speaker or a broken alarm circuit. It also does not stop cooling, unlike DemoMode.

## What you may notice with it.

The freezer problems SabbathMode tends to arrive with. Answer these at the freezer before anyone is booked.

## Questions about SabbathMode.

### Can I clear SabbathMode myself?

If alarms seem missing, check the display for the SabbathMode symbol before assuming a failure.

### Why does my Liebherr freezer not beep when the door is open?

Check whether SabbathMode is on. In that mode Liebherr switches off the door alarm and the temperature alarm.

### Does a Liebherr freezer leave SabbathMode after a power cut?

No. It returns to SabbathMode when power comes back, and it does not show a power failure message.

### Is SabbathMode safe to leave on for a long time?

Cooling continues, but you lose the warnings that protect the food. Turn it off when you no longer need it.
