What Sabbath mode
actually means.
Sabbath mode switches off the display, all alarms and the lights for 80 hours, and the display does not respond. The cabinet keeps cooling. On the column model it resumes Sabbath mode after being switched off and on.

What to do when Sabbath mode shows on the wine coolerKind of codeMode, not a failure
A setting someone switched on, often by leaning on the touch panel or left over from the showroom floor, rather than a part that wore out: a demo mode that lights the display and the rack lamps while the cooling never starts, a Sabbath setting that turns off the lights and alarms, a child or control lock that ignores every key press, a reminder that the glass door stood open. The cabinet is fine, and its own keys or its manual switch the mode back off.
Usually leads toNo repair
On the column cabinet, press the three keys named in the user guide together for four seconds to end it.
Shows up asWine Cooler Error Code
A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for Sabbath mode on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
On the column cabinet, press the three keys named in the user guide together for four seconds to end it.
On the Series 9 under-counter cabinet, press and hold the Sabbath key to exit.
Check the zone temperatures afterward, since no alarm would have sounded.
Cleared?
The display has gone quiet and the cabinet is back at its setting without a new part. Should the code reappear this week, or the reds start feeling warm again, book a visit and mention that it came back.
What not to do
Sabbath mode is not a dead display or light. If the display stays dark after leaving Sabbath mode, the power or control needs checking.
