Many modern household appliances now include a Sabbath Mode feature. Allowing your refrigerator to comply with the rules of Halakha, this mode overrides the traditional electrical operations of your fridge. Sabbath Mode refrigerators have the capability to disable all lights and electrical activity when the door of the refrigerator is opened. There are models that offer more advanced Sabbath Mode settings as well. Many units are fitted with a timer on the compressor, which usually turns on when the door is open and the temperature rises. This allows the door to be opened without affecting the refrigerator's electrical activity. A large variety of Sabbath Mode equipped refrigerators are available. Whether you are considering a French door unit or a side-by-side refrigerator, almost any style is available with this useful feature.
