What SabbathMode
actually means.
Liebherr's own manual describes SabbathMode as switching off a set of electronic functions, including the door alarm and the temperature alarm, to meet the religious requirements some households observe. Unlike demo mode, the cooling system keeps running normally the entire time; only the alerts and the display's normal responses are held quiet.

What to do when SabbathMode shows on the applianceKind of codeSetup modes, not failures
Nothing is wrong with the new appliance; it has come out of the carton in a state the store or the factory left it in. A showroom or demo mode lights the display and the fans while the unit never cools or heats, a Sabbath setting holds the oven light and hides the controls, a control or shipping lock refuses every key, and some laundry and dish care machines ask for a first calibration cycle before normal use. The manual gives the key sequence that turns each one off; once it is off, the appliance runs as it should.

Check the status display for a continuous SabbathMode indication rather than the normal temperature reading.

An appliance installation code is a message a new unit shows because of how it was set up: a demo mode, a water or drain alert, a vent warning or a power check.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Liebherr's own guidance for SabbathMode on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the status display for a continuous SabbathMode indication rather than the normal temperature reading.
Follow Liebherr's own sequence to deactivate the setting from the same menu, at which point the doors lock automatically as documented.
Confirm normal alerts and display behavior return once the setting is off.
If the setting will not deactivate through the documented sequence, book a visit.
Cleared?
The message has gone from the display, the setting or connection behind it has been corrected, and the new appliance finishes a full first cycle without raising it again. A setup code that comes straight back after the hookup has been checked points to something the install missed, such as a kinked hose or a harness left unplugged, so note it when you book.
What not to do
This is not a display or control failure. Liebherr's own manual describes SabbathMode as intentionally disabling alerts and some display responses while cooling continues normally underneath.

A booking moves faster with three things: the message exactly as the display shows it, the model number from the carton or the rating plate, and the moment it first appeared. With those, the office can tell whether it is a setup step or a connection to put right, and send the part that fixes it.
