Fb on the display of a Frigidaire convertible chest freezer means Freeze Boost has been turned on with its button. The chest runs colder for a while to freeze newly added food quickly, and it works only in freezer mode. It is a setting, not a warning.

What to do when Fb shows on the freezerKind of codeMode, not a failure
A setting the freezer was put into, often by accident or by the store it came from, rather than a part that broke: a showroom or demo mode that lights the display while the compressor stays off, a fast freeze left running for days, a Sabbath setting that silences the alarms, a control lock, a door alarm reminding you the door stood open. Nothing has worn out, and the freezer's own buttons or manual put it back.

Leave Fb on if you just added a large load of unfrozen food.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Frigidaire's own guidance for Fb on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Leave Fb on if you just added a large load of unfrozen food.
Press the Freeze Boost button once to turn it off when you do not need it.
If the chest seems too cold or runs without stopping, check whether Fb is showing before anything else.
Cleared?
The freezer is holding its temperature again and no part had to be replaced. If the same code comes back within a few days, or the packages start to soften again, book it as a fresh problem.
What not to do
Fb is not an error and does not mean the chest has a problem. If the chest stays warm while Fb shows, the cooling system is not keeping up and that deserves a visit.
