What sb
actually means.
sb on a Signature Kitchen Suite display means Sabbath mode is on, a setting for the Jewish Sabbath and holidays. The interior light and alarms go quiet, the dispenser stops, and only sb and two keys stay on the panel, while cooling carries on.

What to do when sb shows on the refrigeratorKind of codeMode, not a failure
A setting somebody chose, or an alert it raised on purpose — a showroom mode, a door or power alarm. Nothing has broken and no part is needed.
Usually leads toNo repair
Hold the same two keys that switched it on for three seconds: on columns and the SKSCR2401P, Refrigerator (or Freezer) with POWER; on the SKSFD3604P, Freezer with POWER; on SKSUD2402P drawers, Wi-Fi with Lock.
Shows up asRefrigerator Light Not Working
A small problem, except when it is the first sign of something larger.

Shown as sb on current SKS column refrigerators and freezers, the SKSFD3604P and SKSUD2402P drawers, and as Sb in the older SKSCR2401P manual. On the SKSSB4202S side-by-side, Sabbath is offered through the ThinQ app instead.
Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from SKS's own guidance for sb on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Hold the same two keys that switched it on for three seconds: on columns and the SKSCR2401P, Refrigerator (or Freezer) with POWER; on the SKSFD3604P, Freezer with POWER; on SKSUD2402P drawers, Wi-Fi with Lock.
Or simply wait: SKS ends Sabbath mode on its own after 96 hours.
If you use Smart Grid, switch it on again afterwards, because Sabbath mode turns it off.
Cleared?
Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.
What not to do
sb is not a dead light bulb or a broken dispenser. Both are paused on purpose while the mode is on, and they come back when it ends.

SKS refrigerator repair
Built-in refrigerator
Flush with the cabinets, serviced from the front, and almost always repaired rather than replaced.
Refrigerator column
Separate refrigerator and freezer towers, each with its own sealed system — so a failure stays on one side.
French door refrigerator
Two fresh-food doors over a freezer drawer — the most common premium layout, and the one with the most to go wrong at the door line.
In SKS's own words
POWER buttons for 3 seconds until sb appears in the display.
