Frigidaire Refrigerator Error Code Sb

'Sb' on a Frigidaire refrigerator means Sabbath Mode is active. This is a deliberate operating mode, not a malfunction. The refrigerator continues to cool normally, but display functions, interior lighting, and audible alerts are suppressed. It can be deactivated by pressing and holding the '-' and '+' buttons simultaneously for five seconds.

Yes, your refrigerator is cooling normally when Sabbath Mode is active. The mode only disables user interface features like lights, sounds, and display interactions. The compressor, fans, and temperature regulation all continue to function as usual throughout the duration of Sabbath Mode.

In nearly all cases, resolving the 'Sb' display costs nothing because it simply requires pressing the correct button combination to deactivate Sabbath Mode. No parts or service calls are needed for a standard deactivation. If the control panel buttons are unresponsive and the mode cannot be cleared, a service call to assess the control board could range from $75 to $200 or more depending on your location and the extent of the issue.

To exit Sabbath Mode, press and hold the '-' button on the freezer side and the '+' button on the refrigerator side at the same time for five seconds. The 'Sb' indicator should disappear and normal display functions will resume. If the display does not respond, confirm you are pressing the correct buttons as labeled on your specific model's control panel.

A power reset alone may not reliably clear Sabbath Mode, as some Frigidaire control boards are designed to retain this setting through power interruptions. The correct method to exit the mode is to use the designated button combination: hold the freezer '-' and refrigerator '+' buttons simultaneously for five seconds. Use the power reset approach only as a secondary troubleshooting step if the button combination does not respond.
