Samsung Refrigerator Error Code OF OF — Demo/Display Mode Active
What this means
The OF OF (or O FF) display means the refrigerator is in Demo Mode (also called Showroom or Display Mode). In this mode, the lights, display, and buttons work, but the compressor and cooling system are turned off. This mode is used in retail stores and can be accidentally activated during setup or by children pressing buttons.
Alternate codes: O FF, OF, OFF
Step-by-step fix
3 stepsDeactivate Demo Mode (most models)
Press and hold the Energy Saver and Power Freeze buttons simultaneously for about 3–5 seconds. The display should change from OF OF to normal temperature readings.
The button combination varies by model — if this doesn't work, try Freezer and Fridge buttons, or Lighting and Freezer buttons.
Alternative method for touchscreen models
On Family Hub or touchscreen models, go to Settings > Fridge Manager > Fridge Mode and turn off Demo Mode.
Verify cooling resumes
After deactivating demo mode, wait 10–15 minutes and verify the compressor starts running and temperatures begin dropping.
It may take several hours for the refrigerator to reach its set temperature after being in demo mode.
When to call a professional
This is not a malfunction. If you cannot exit demo mode using any button combination, consult your specific model's manual or contact Samsung support.
