What SB SB
actually means.
The refrigerator is in Sabbath mode, which switches off parts of the unit and its controls for religious observance. The lights, the dispenser and the panel do not respond, but the high temperature alarm stays active. It is still cooling.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Frigidaire's own guidance for SB SB on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Hold the minus key and Temp F-C together for five seconds.
If a power cut happened while it was on, expect it to still be in Sabbath mode afterwards and turn it off the same way.
If your panel has different keys, check the use and care guide for your model.
Cleared?
Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.
What not to do
It is not a dead control panel or a failed dispenser.
