What Sb on
actually means.
Dacor's own manual documents Sb on as the display shown when a specific button hold puts the unit into Sabbath operating mode, running at its preset temperature with no beeping, button actions, interior light, or door alarm, and deactivating automatically after 85 hours.

What to do when Sb on shows on the applianceKind of codeSetup modes, not failures
Nothing is wrong with the new appliance; it has come out of the carton in a state the store or the factory left it in. A showroom or demo mode lights the display and the fans while the unit never cools or heats, a Sabbath setting holds the oven light and hides the controls, a control or shipping lock refuses every key, and some laundry and dish care machines ask for a first calibration cycle before normal use. The manual gives the key sequence that turns each one off; once it is off, the appliance runs as it should.
Usually leads toNo installation
Confirm the household intends this mode to be active before assuming the panel and alarms have failed.
Shows up asCold Storage Slow to Cool on the First Day
Cold storage slow to cool is a new refrigerator, freezer, wine or beverage unit that still feels warm inside many hours after its installation.

Dacor installs range from wall ovens and ranges with a matching hood to column refrigeration and a panel-ready dishwasher in the same run of cabinets.

Dacor documents this 85-hour automatic deactivation on its undercounter beverage refrigeration models; its larger column refrigeration line uses a different button combination for a similar Sabbath setting.
Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for Sb on on its appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Confirm the household intends this mode to be active before assuming the panel and alarms have failed.
Use the documented button hold to exit Sabbath mode early if it was set by mistake.
Check that the door alarm and interior light return once the mode ends or is exited.
If Sb on remains past the documented 85-hour window, book a visit rather than assuming it will clear on its own indefinitely.
Cleared?
The message has gone from the display, the setting or connection behind it has been corrected, and the new appliance finishes a full first cycle without raising it again. A setup code that comes straight back after the hookup has been checked points to something the install missed, such as a kinked hose or a harness left unplugged, so note it when you book.
What not to do
Sb on does not mean the door alarm or the interior light has failed. Both are deliberately disabled by this mode and Dacor documents them returning once it ends.

In Dacor's own words
The “Sb on” code will be displayed in the window. The system will enter Sabbath operating mode and will run according to the preset temperature with no beeping, button actions, interior light, or door alarm.
Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Dacor documents this 85-hour automatic deactivation on its undercounter beverage refrigeration models; its larger column refrigeration line uses a different button combination for a similar Sabbath setting.

A booking moves faster with three things: the message exactly as the display shows it, the model number from the carton or the rating plate, and the moment it first appeared. With those, the office can tell whether it is a setup step or a connection to put right, and send the part that fixes it.
