What SABBATH MODE
actually means.
On Monogram built-in column freezers, Sabbath Mode keeps cooling running but turns off tones, alarms, interior lights and the ice maker, and shows only SABBATH MODE. It is switched on by holding the plus and DOOR ALARM pads, and ends by itself after 96 hours.

What to do when SABBATH MODE shows on the freezerKind of codeMode, 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 toNo repair
Hold the plus and DOOR ALARM pads together until the temperature set point returns.
Shows up asFreezer Light Out
A freezer light not working leaves the cabinet dark when the door or lid opens, while the freezer itself may still hum and hold its cold.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Monogram's own guidance for SABBATH MODE on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Hold the plus and DOOR ALARM pads together until the temperature set point returns.
Or wait: Sabbath Mode exits by itself after 4 calendar days.
Check that the ice maker has restarted once the mode ends.
If the panel does not respond after the mode is off, book a visit.
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
A dark interior light and a silent panel in Sabbath Mode are expected, not a failed bulb or board. The column keeps cooling throughout.

Still showing SABBATH MODE?
Book with the code or the alarm pattern written exactly as the freezer shows it, the full model number, and whether the food is still frozen hard — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
