Possible Causes

Accidental activation of Sabbath mode via control panel, Misunderstanding of control settings, Stuck or faulty control buttons

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: Sb is not a fault code; it indicates Sabbath mode is active, which alters normal operation.

Step 1: Exit Sabbath mode

  • Refer to your user manual for the exact key combination. On many Frigidaire Gallery models, press and hold the Freezer Down and Refrigerator Up buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds.
  • Wait for the display to return to normal temperature readouts.

Step 2: Verify cooling

  • Confirm that interior lights and display behave normally when doors are opened.
  • Monitor temperatures with a thermometer to ensure proper cooling.

Step 3: Check for stuck buttons (if Sb reappears)

  • Inspect the control panel for stuck or unresponsive buttons.
  • If buttons are sticking, gently clean around them with a slightly damp cloth (power off) and dry thoroughly.

When to call a technician: If Sabbath mode cannot be exited or reactivates on its own, the user interface board may be faulty and require replacement.
