Hold the minus key and Temp F-C together for five seconds. ### Is my Frigidaire still cooling with SB SB showing? Yes, Sabbath mode switches off lights, the dispenser and the panel but keeps cooling. Frigidaire leaves the warning for a warm cabinet switched on throughout, for health reasons. ### How do I exit SB SB on a Frigidaire? Keep the minus key and Temp F-C pressed at the same time for five seconds. If a power cut happened, it will still be in Sabbath mode and needs the same steps. --- **[Read on the site: Frigidaire refrigerator showing SB SB](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/error-codes/frigidaire-sb-sb/)** **[Book a visit with RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/schedule/)**
