Error codeSB
ApplianceRefrigerator
Quick answer
A Frigidaire refrigerator displaying Sb has Sabbath Mode active, which is not a fault. Two keys held for five seconds toggle it.
Model compatibility: Frigidaire has used more than one control platform, so SB may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Sabbath Mode is active (not a fault); the display shows Sb.
Sb on the display is not an error
Sabbath Mode keeps the refrigerator running on minimum power so that it follows religious guidelines. While it is active, the display reads Sb. This applies to Frigidaire refrigerators.
Switching the mode
Find the “-” key and the “Temp F-C” key.
Hold both down at once for five seconds.
Repeat the same press to go the other way: on becomes off, off becomes on.
