LG Refrigerator Error Code OF-OF

OF-OF means your LG refrigerator is in Cooling Off mode, which disables the compressor and stops all cooling. The display and interior lights continue to work, but the unit will not maintain cold temperatures. This mode is typically intended for retail display purposes and is not a sign of a component failure.

A standard power reset by unplugging the unit may not permanently cancel Cooling Off mode, as the setting can persist through a power cycle on some LG models. The correct method is to use the specific key combination: hold Energy Saver and Power Freeze together for 3 seconds. This is the proper way to exit the mode and restore normal compressor operation.

In most cases, there is no repair cost at all, since OF-OF is a mode setting rather than a component failure. Cancelling it requires only a button press combination. If the issue is caused by a faulty control panel that keeps re-triggering the mode, control panel replacement costs can range from roughly 100 to 300 dollars depending on the model, plus any applicable labor charges.

To cancel Cooling Off mode, press and hold the Energy Saver key and the Power Freeze key at the same time for 3 seconds. The display should stop blinking OF-OF and return to showing the set temperatures. After cancelling, allow the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes to reach its target cooling temperatures before evaluating whether it is working normally.

Yes, leaving the refrigerator in Cooling Off mode poses a food safety risk. Because the compressor is not running, the interior will gradually warm to room temperature. Perishable foods should not remain in a non-cooling refrigerator for more than 2 hours. Cancel the mode immediately and check food temperatures before consuming anything that was stored inside.
