How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Food may thaw if the unit has been off; check food safety before consuming.

  • Check user manual: Identify whether your model supports Demo or Sabbath mode and the key sequence to exit.
  • Exit demo mode: Commonly, press and hold specific buttons (e.g., Freezer Temp and Alarm) for 3–5 seconds until OF or OFF clears. Refer to the tech sheet for your exact model.
  • Verify cooling: After exiting, listen for the compressor and fans starting within a few minutes.
  • Monitor temperature: Allow several hours for the freezer to reach the set temperature again.
