By BJLife Newsroom
Posted on 10/12/21

It has come to our attention that in certain models of STAR-K Sabbath Mode-certified Kitchen Aid French Door refrigerators - among them KRFC302ESS and KRSC503ESS​ - the interior lights continue to be operational even in Sabbath Mode.

To determine if your model has this issue, do the following:

1.   Set the Sabbath Mode.

2.   Keeping the left door and freezer drawer closed, open the right door.

      a. If there is no light displaying, your unit is fine.

​​      b. If you see a light, however dim, you will need to tape down both

          refrigerator switches and the freezer switch before Shabbos and Yom Tov.

          Be sure to remove the tape after Shabbos/Yom Tov.

Please contact KitchenAid at 1-800-422-1230 to report the issue and schedule service.
