What OF OF means

OF OF appears on Samsung upright convertible refrigerator-freezers, the type that can be set to run as a refrigerator or as a freezer. It means Cooling Off mode is on: the unit is not cooling, the display and lights stay on, and no service is needed. This is the showroom setting. The display may show OF OF, O FF, OFF OFF, or scrolling bars, depending on the model.

Common causes of OF OF

  • Cooling Off mode turned on by a button hold
  • A unit that came from a showroom with the mode still set
  • A button press during cleaning or moving that started the mode
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check the control panel and find the Cooling Off hold that your model uses. 2. Hold the buttons for your model as your user manual describes to turn the mode off. 3. Wait for the display to change and for the unit to start cooling. 4. Give it time to reach temperature before you judge the result.

! Why to stop there
  • If the mode turns off but the unit still does not cool, the problem is a separate one from the display message.
  • We check whether the compressor and fans start once Cooling Off is cleared.
  • You get a written price before work, and our repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
OF OFOF OF questions
Is OF OF a problem with my Samsung freezer?

No. It means Cooling Off mode is on. The display and lights work, but the unit is not cooling. The mode is meant for showrooms and does not need a repair.

Why does my display show O FF or scrolling bars?

Those are other ways the display can show the same Cooling Off mode, depending on the model. The way to turn it off is in your user manual.

Is my food safe if the unit shows OF OF?

The unit is not cooling in this mode, so food will warm up. Turn the mode off as soon as you notice it, and move perishables to another cooler until it is cold again.
