KitchenAid Range Code Sabbath, Sab, 5Ab, or 5A7: Sabbath Mode is on

What Sabbath, Sab, 5Ab, or 5A7 means

On KitchenAid freestanding and slide-in electric, gas and dual-fuel ranges in the KFEG, KFGG, KSEG, KSGG and KFGS series, Sabbath, Sab, 5Ab or 5A7 on the display means Sabbath Mode is enabled. In this mode the oven stays on in a Bake setting until it is turned off, and only the Bake cycle will operate. Owners notice it when the oven refuses every other cycle and the display shows one of these labels instead of the usual time of day.

Common causes of Sabbath, Sab, 5Ab, or 5A7

Sabbath Mode was switched on at the oven control
The mode was never canceled after earlier use, so the oven still allows Bake only
The range is working as designed and no repair part is involved

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Confirm the display shows Sabbath, Sab, 5Ab or 5A7 rather than a time of day. 2. Cancel Sabbath Mode with the steps in the instructions that came with your range. 3. When the label clears, set a Bake temperature and check that the oven heats. 4. On a gas range, if you ever smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside. 5. If Bake still does not work after canceling, stop and call us.

! Why to stop there

Nothing needs replacing when this label is the only thing on the display, so a repair visit would not change it
Canceling the mode is an owner setting that takes a minute at the control
If the oven still misbehaves after the mode is canceled, that is a separate problem we can look at with a written price before any work

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, Sab, 5Ab, or 5A7Sabbath, Sab, 5Ab, or 5A7 questions

Why does only Bake work on my range?

Sabbath Mode limits the oven to the Bake cycle and keeps it on in a Bake setting until you turn it off. Every other cycle is unavailable until the mode is canceled.

Are Sab, 5Ab and 5A7 different problems?

They are different labels for the same message: Sabbath Mode is enabled. Which one you see depends on the control and display on your range, and each points to the same mode.

Will canceling Sabbath Mode damage anything?

No. It is a normal setting, and canceling it simply returns the range to its usual cycles. If the label returns on its own or Bake will not heat afterward, call us and we will check the control.
