What SB means

SB on a Frigidaire wine cooler or beverage center with an electronic control means Sabbath mode is on. It is a setting and not a problem. In Sabbath mode the alarm lights come on without tones, so the cooler stays quiet. Owners may see SB on the display and think something is broken, or notice that the cooler does not beep as it did. Holding the Vacation Mode key for 5 seconds toggles it on or off. Nothing needs repair if SB is the only thing you see.

Common causes of SB

  • Sabbath mode turned on with the Vacation Mode key
  • Keys pressed by accident
  • Keys sticking from a spill on the panel
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Hold the Vacation Mode key for 5 seconds. 2. Check that SB disappears from the display. 3. Check that the alarm tones return when the door is left open. 4. If SB will not clear, wipe the panel dry and try again.

! Why to stop there
  • If SB does not clear and the keys do not respond, we do not yet know whether the keys or the control are the cause.
  • We test the key response and the control, then give you a written price before replacing anything.
  • If it is only a setting, we show you how to turn it off.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
