Samsung Refrigerator OF OF: Turn Off Demo Mode

Documentation checkedBy ErrHiveUpdated

THE SHORT ANSWER

Cooling Off mode is enabled.

OF OF, O FF or OFF OFF indicates Cooling Off mode on covered Samsung refrigerators. It is a mode, not a failed-component diagnosis, and normal refrigeration is disabled.

First safe check

Confirm the exact display and identify the model before choosing a button combination.

Applies to

Samsung US refrigerators; the button combination depends on the panel and model.

Before you start

Do not store perishable food in a refrigerator left in Cooling Off mode. Move food to working cold storage as needed.

WORK THROUGH THE BASICS

Safe troubleshooting checks

0 of 3 checked

Use the checkboxes to keep track as you read. Stop at any warning or step that does not match your appliance.

  1. Find the full model code and compare its control panel with the official instructions.

    What to note

    Use the correct instructions for that panel.

  2. Follow the model manual. Family Hub menus and physical-button combinations differ.

    What to note

    The mode display should disappear.

  3. Confirm the refrigerator is cooling before relying on it for food storage.

    What to note

    A different fault requires a different investigation.

THE DETAILS MATTER

Scope & troubleshooting notes

Why no universal reset sequence

Samsung documents multiple combinations and timing requirements. Repeatedly trying unrelated controls is less reliable than matching the panel first.

YOUR NEXT DECISION

When to stop and get help

If cooling still fails after the mode is off, investigate that separate cooling problem.

Record what you see

Keep the full model number, exact displayed code, and your observations together for the next conversation.

Use the right support

Contact the manufacturer or a qualified appliance technician when the guide calls for service.
