# Miele MasterCool Sabbath Mode: dark display, no light, no alarms

In Sabbath Mode the MasterCool wine column keeps cooling, but the temperature display goes dark, the interior lighting stays off and the door alarm does not sound.

## What Sabbath Mode actually means.

In Sabbath Mode the MasterCool wine column keeps cooling, but the temperature display goes dark, the interior lighting stays off and the door alarm does not sound. The Door Assistant is also switched off, so a handle-free door has to be pulled open from below or the side.

What to do when Sabbath Mode shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Mode, 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 to No repair

Switch Sabbath Mode off from settings mode when you are ready.

### Shows up as Wine 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 Miele's own guidance for Sabbath Mode on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Switch Sabbath Mode off from settings mode when you are ready.

02

Open a handle-free door from below or from the side while the mode is on.

03

Check the zone temperatures once the display returns, 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

A dark display with the Sabbath symbol is not a failed display or light. If the light stays off with Sabbath Mode ended, the LED lighting needs Miele-trained service.
