What Sb
actually means.
Holding the increase and decrease temperature buttons together for 10 seconds puts the EI24WC15V generation into Sabbath mode. The display shows only Sb, every other light turns off, and opening the door no longer switches anything on.

What to do when Sb shows on the wine coolerKind of codeMode, not a failure
A setting someone switched on, often by leaning on the touch panel or left over from the showroom floor, rather than a part that wore out: a demo mode that lights the display and the rack lamps while the cooling never starts, a Sabbath setting that turns off the lights and alarms, a child or control lock that ignores every key press, a reminder that the glass door stood open. The cabinet is fine, and its own keys or its manual switch the mode back off.
Usually leads toNo repair
Hold the increase and decrease temperature buttons together for 10 seconds to leave the mode.
Shows up asWine Cooler Error Code
A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for Sb on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Hold the increase and decrease temperature buttons together for 10 seconds to leave the mode.
Confirm the previous set temperature comes back on the display.
If Sb will not clear with that hold, book a visit.
Cleared?
The display has gone quiet and the cabinet is back at its setting without a new part. Should the code reappear this week, or the reds start feeling warm again, book a visit and mention that it came back.
What not to do
Sb is not a sensor or board code. High and low temperature alerts still show during the mode, so a warm cabinet can still be spotted.

Still showing Sb?
When you book, copy the code or the blink pattern as the display shows it, add the whole model number, and say whether the bottles still feel cool — a code gives the technician a head start.
