Wow!
Will work across all models?

Technically should work for any model that uses an electromagnet. It's very diy gotta snip some wires

In this case the fridge didn't have a built in Shabbos mode at all so it was the only option. I did it for the top fridge doors and the freezer is all week round using a magnet. So the only thing is the ice can't (aylor) be used unless shut off.

What about those with built in shabbos mode? Like FPRU19F8WF

What's your question?

What's your question?

Can the same thing be accomplished to enable/disable the built in shabbos mode? Or do you suggest to just use the system that detects when the door opens ?

It is far simpler to hook this up to just trick it to thinking the doors are always closed.

To get it to put the fridge to the built-in sabbath mode is more complex and I'm not sure is even possible on all models.

I know for my fridge (LG) the way to get into sabbath mode is by long pressing two buttons. Technically I can attach wires behind those buttons and automate that, I didn't try it yet, because if mess that up it's over $200 to replace the part.

(They also have an API which only allows me to see the status but not set the mode, super dumb)

Who can guess the wiring for this system?
Was fun to figure out!
