Samsung Refrigerator OF OF: How to Turn Off Cooling Off Mode
Seeing OF OF on your Samsung refrigerator? Here is what Samsung says it means, the checks you can safely do yourself, and when to call a technician.
What Does Samsung OF OF Mean?
OF OF on a Samsung refrigerator isn’t a failure. It means the refrigerator is in cooling off mode, also called demo or shop mode, so the lights and display work but the refrigerator doesn’t cool. Samsung says no service is needed.
