# Range: Sabbath mode

### What the appliance is actually reporting

Sabbath mode holds the oven at a fixed temperature and switches off the timer, the light and the alarms so it can run without any of the actions the observance excludes. It is easy to turn on by accident and hard to guess your way out of, which is why an oven that has stopped responding to its own controls is often just this. LG publishes the exit and it is specific enough to be worth quoting: press Bake, set a temperature, press Start, then hold Clock for three seconds.

### The other light combinations that mean this

5b · Sb · SB

LG publishes what the indicator lights mean on the washers and dryers that have no numeric display. They are grouped here by what they mean rather than split into near-identical pages, and every pattern the maker names is printed above.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the indicator lights, on a laundry machine with no numeric display. LG publishes what the patterns mean, and on those models the pattern is the entire diagnosis — it disappears the moment the power is cut. Write it down or photograph the panel before switching anything off, and count a full sequence rather than a single flash: the lights also blink to show cycle status, so treat it as an error only if the machine is misbehaving as well.

### What to do about it

- Press Bake.
- Set a bake temperature with the + and – keys.
- Press Start.
- Press and hold Clock for three seconds. The oven should return to normal.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 419-0291](tel:+13054190291) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
