Here is a useful tip in identifying a frequently reported problem on some model ranges and wall ovens equipped with an Electronic Range Control (ERC) or Electronic Oven Control (EOC). An “error” code display of “Sabb" or “Sab” will be displayed and the range or oven will not function. This is called “Sabbath Mode" and it may be costing you unnecessary charges in service call fees. This is NOT a problem, but actually a feature provided by some manufacturers to enable customers of certain religious faiths to honor the Sabbath. The range will not function at all during this period and cannot be reset by unplugging the unit or turning it off. In your owner/operator's manual there should be a section that refers to "Sabbath Mode" under the control panel features and operation. This "problem" is a minor operator issue and is not a malfunction of the appliance. This is commonly reported by customers to service companies to have corrected, but the repair is unnecessary, and usually NOT covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. The reason: It is a designed feature of the appliance and considered “operator error” in most cases. What this means is you may be paying someone big money to push a couple of buttons and “fix” something that could have taken you minutes to correct yourself. Sabbath Mode can inadvertently be activated by pressing the wrong sequence of control panel buttons, kids playing with the control panel and also after a power outage. The “problem” can be cleared, but you will have to find the proper reference in your owner operator manual. Manufacturers provide different procedures for activating and deactivating the mode, so instructions may differ. I hope this helps avoid the need for a service calls in the future and saves you money.

Speedometer niddle not working but meter reading is working need help

If the meter is doing its job and counting km's, it means the speedo cable is ok. The problem is most likely inside the speedo...a broken gear or spring perhaps. Try opening the speedo to have a look, if you're good with tools and technically minded.

Engine stops running after 10 to 15 min

Sounds like a air flow problem caused by a reaction from the cooling system warming up. Best bet have it scanned by a shop & sensors & emissions checked. good luck

Sub zero 700 TR error code 06

Error code six means: from SZ
Refrig. evaporator thermistor read open or shorted for 10+ seconds, or repeatedly read erratic temp’s
Erratic temp can be many things such as an open door. Clear the code by holding the bell key for 15-30 seconds or until you hear a tone. Keep an eye on your temps for a couple of days. If it comes back its time to call a service tech. If you are in OC I have the number of the best tech for Sub Zero in all of SoCal. There is more tests that can be done depending on how tech savvy you are.
