Samsung Refrigerator Error Code OF & OF

OF OF on a Samsung refrigerator means the unit is in Cooling Off Mode, also known as Demo or Showroom Mode. The compressor is disabled and no cooling occurs in either the freezer or fresh food compartment. All lights and display functions continue to operate normally. This is not a mechanical failure and requires no parts to fix.

No, it is not safe to store perishable food while the OF OF code is active because the compressor is off and neither compartment is being cooled. Food left inside during this mode is subject to the same temperature rise as food left at room temperature. Cancel Demo Mode immediately and allow the unit to reach proper temperature before storing perishables.

There is no repair cost associated with the OF OF code because it is not caused by a faulty component. Cancelling Demo Mode requires only pressing the correct button combination on the control panel. If you are unable to exit the mode using the button sequence and the display remains unresponsive, a service call to inspect the control panel could range from around 75 to 150 dollars depending on your location and service provider.

To cancel Cooling Off Mode, press and hold the Energy Saver button and the Freezer button simultaneously for three seconds. On some models the Freezer button is labeled Hold 3 Sec for Power Freezer. After releasing the buttons, the compressor should restart and the refrigerator will begin cooling again within a short time.

A standard power reset by unplugging the unit may not permanently clear OF OF because the mode is stored in the control board settings and can persist through power cycles. The correct method is to press and hold the Energy Saver and Freezer buttons simultaneously for three seconds. This directly cancels the mode through the control panel and is the reliable way to restore normal cooling operation.
