KitchenAid Range "Sabbath Mode": Bake Stays On

What Sabbath Mode means

On KitchenAid freestanding and slide-in ranges including the KFEG500ESS and KSGG700ESS, Sabbath Mode sets the oven to remain on in a bake setting until it is turned off. When Sabbath Mode is set, only the Bake cycle operates, and the other cooking and cleaning cycles do not. It is a setting you chose, not an error, so nothing needs repair when you see it.

Common causes of Sabbath Mode

Sabbath Mode was turned on
Another cycle was chosen while the mode was active

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check the display for Sabbath Mode. 2. Turn the oven off to end the bake that stays on. 3. Follow your control's instructions to leave the mode. 4. If other cycles still do not run once the mode is off, call us and we will check the control.

! Why to stop there

Sabbath Mode is a setting, so a repair is rarely needed.
Failing to leave the mode may point to the control.
We provide a written price first, with a 30-day warranty.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

Sabbath ModeSabbath Mode questions

Why does only Bake work?

In Sabbath Mode only the Bake cycle operates. Other cooking and cleaning cycles do not, which is part of how the mode is meant to work.

Does the oven turn off by itself?

The mode keeps the oven on in a bake setting until you turn it off, so turn the oven off yourself when you are done, even if the food is finished long before.

How do I get out?

Follow your control's steps to leave the mode. If you cannot, or other cycles still will not run, call us and we can help you with the range controls.
