What Sabbath, Sab, 5Ab, or 5A6 means

On JennAir built-in microwave drawers and combination wall ovens with a microwave cavity, such as the JMC2430DS, Sabbath, Sab, 5Ab, or 5A6 on the display means Sabbath Mode is turned on. In this mode the oven stays in a Bake setting until turned off, and no other cooking or cleaning cycle will run. No tones sound, and the display does not show temperature changes. It is a feature, not a defect.

Common causes of Sabbath, Sab, 5Ab, or 5A6

  • Sabbath Mode switched on by choice
  • Mode left on after a holiday
  • A settings change made by accident
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Cancel Sabbath Mode through the oven's settings or control prompts. 2. Turn the oven off, wait a moment, and then try a normal bake. 3. Check that the display now shows temperature changes and that tones return. 4. If the mode will not turn off, call us.

! Why to stop there
  • Sabbath Mode is controlled through the settings, not by tools.
  • If it will not cancel, a keypad or control problem is possible.
  • We will quote the repair first.
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 5A6Sabbath, Sab, 5Ab, or 5A6 questions
Why is my oven only baking?

Sabbath Mode limits the unit to Bake until it is turned off. Other cooking and cleaning cycles are disabled while the mode is active. The mode lasts until you cancel it.

Why are there no beeps?

No tones sound in Sabbath Mode, and the display does not show temperature changes. This is normal while the mode is on. Everything returns once you cancel Sabbath Mode.

When is Sabbath, Sab, or 5Ab a problem?

Only when it appears by itself or will not cancel. Then a keypad or control concern is possible, and we can check it. Please do not open the unit.
