Samsung Fridge OF OF — Cooling Off Mode

What Does This Error Mean?

OF OF on a Samsung fridge means the fridge is in Cooling Off (Demo) Mode — used for shop displays, this disables compressors and fans. To exit, press and hold Energy Saver + Lighting (or Power Cool + Power Freeze) for about 5 seconds until you hear a beep.

Affected Models

  • Samsung RF28R7351SR
  • Samsung RF23M8090SR
  • Samsung RF263BEAESR
  • Samsung RS27T5200SR
  • Samsung RF28T5001SR

Common Causes

  • Demo mode enabled accidentally during a button press combination
  • Demo mode left on after a shop-floor showroom unit
  • Power outage on some models triggers a re-entry into demo mode
  • Child playing with the front buttons accidentally activated it

How to Fix It

  1. Confirm OF OF on both the fridge and freezer displays.

    OF OF typically appears on both display zones simultaneously. If only one shows OF, the issue is different — that display is reporting a sensor fault.

  2. Identify your model's exit combination.

    On most Samsung French Door models, hold Energy Saver and Lighting together for 3–5 seconds. On RS-series side-by-side, the combination is Power Cool + Power Freeze. Check your manual or the inside-door label for the specific keys.

  3. Press and hold the combination.

    Press both keys simultaneously and hold for 5–8 seconds. You should hear a beep, then the display switches to normal temperature readings (e.g., -18°C and 4°C). The compressor starts within a minute.

  4. Wait for cooling to resume.

    After exiting demo mode, the fridge takes 4–8 hours to reach normal temperature from room temperature. Avoid heavily loading the fridge during this initial cooldown.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did my Samsung fridge enter Demo Mode by itself?

Demo mode requires a specific button-hold combination, so it does not enable spontaneously. Common causes are a child playing with the controls or a power outage that on some models triggers re-entry into demo mode. The exit combination is the same.

Is OF OF an error or a feature?

OF OF is a feature — it disables cooling for showroom displays so the fridge can run silently with the lights on. It is not a fault. The fridge has not failed; it has simply been told to stop cooling. Exit demo mode and normal cooling resumes.
