What SB SB
actually means.
SB SB, or Sb, is Sabbath mode. It shuts off parts of the refrigerator and its controls for religious observance, so the lights, the dispenser and the control panel stop working until the mode is turned off. The high temperature alarm still works in this mode for safety.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for SB SB on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press and hold the minus key and Temp F-C together for five seconds to switch it off.
Remember that the mode survives a power cut; it has to be turned off with the buttons.
Check that the lights and dispenser return once the mode is off.
Cleared?
Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.
What not to do
A dark interior and a dead dispenser with SB shown are not a failure and do not need a visit.
