What to do when sb 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.

Confirm the household intends this mode to be active before assuming the display has failed.

Cold storage slow to cool is a new refrigerator, freezer, wine or beverage unit that still feels warm inside many hours after its installation.

SKS documents sb automatically turning off after 96 hours, and notes it is maintained even through a power outage once set.
Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from SKS's own guidance for sb 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 display has failed.
Wake the display first, then use the same Freezer-and-POWER hold to turn the mode off.
Confirm the dispenser and interior display return to normal function once the mode is cleared.
If sb will not clear with the documented sequence, book a visit rather than repeatedly cycling power.
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 does not mean the display or the dispenser has failed. SKS's own documentation describes both as deliberately limited while the mode is active, and the unit keeps cooling normally throughout.

SKS
appliances.
SKS installs are luxury built-ins: built-in refrigeration and wine columns, pro ranges, wall ovens and a panel-ready dishwasher.
SKS appliance installation
Cold storage
Setting a new refrigerator, freezer, wine or beverage unit or ice maker into its opening: measured, connected to water, leveled and started.
Cooking appliances
Hooking up ranges, cooktops, wall ovens, microwaves and hoods: gas connectors leak-tested, anti-tip brackets fastened, ducts sized and the first light checked.
Dish care
Fitting a new dishwasher or dish drawer under the counter: supply line, drain loop or air gap, power, mounting brackets and a first test cycle.
In SKS's own words
To turn Sabbath mode on, press the Freezer, Convertible or Refrigerator button first to wake the display, then press and hold the Freezer and POWER buttons for 3 seconds until sb appears in the display.
Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. SKS documents sb automatically turning off after 96 hours, and notes it is maintained even through a power outage once set.

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.
