Modern Refrigerators and "Shabbos Mode"

[Yo ssi]

I don’t think it’s comparable at all. In my fridge it is a digital button to dispense the water. I assume many other as well. A water fountain is a mechanical faucet Like your sink.

True point, I don't believe a water fountain can be used unless unplugged

mine is not a button but more like a lever that you depress with the cup

This can also be a button

Logic is very simple
The dispenser is in the fridge and they assume that if the door is closed you don't want water running in the fridge when a tomato is pressing against it

I'd be a lot happier if my KitchenAid had that security feature, it does not

The same goes for icemakers in the freezer. They shut off when the door is opened so they shouldn't dump ice all over the place.

I bought a FRSS2623AS. It does not have shabbos mode. I tried magnets, but after moving them around the entire frame, nothing turned off the lights. It's possible the magnets I'm using aren't strong enough, though they were the strongest I was able to procure in the limited time I had before shabbos.

The options mentioned upthread don't seem to be available anymore. Zman technologies is only for ge and Shabbat Pro seems to be defunct.

Is there another option? Does anyone know about this device particularly and where exactly the magnets would need to be placed?

Shabbos switch.  Available in hardware stores, and probably elsewhere.

You stick it on near the little button that depresses when you close the door.  For Shabbos, you slide out a piece that holds down the button even when you open the fridge door.

That only solves the light problem, not the door open and temperature indicator lights that are on the freezer door

Are you sure?  It doesn't let the fridge know the door is open. See what happens when you hold down the button.

Wow!  Years ago I called Frigidaire to ask what Shabbos mode on my fridge affected.  It was basically the lights. Technology marches on.

Bump. I'm getting a little desperate here. Got better magnets and still nothing.

It does not have shabbos mode

In Israel, this fridge has an unofficial shabat mode - add 2 strong magnets on top of the fridge to shut off lights RF060BEAESP
