Did your Samsung refrigerator suddenly display a strange OF OF code on its control panel?
Being unfamiliar with the code can make you feel uneasy, but don’t worry because we wrote this article to help you learn what the OF OF code means and how to clear it from your refrigerator’s control panel.
The information is easy to understand and the instructions are easy to follow. The best part is that it should barely take any of your time and all of the troubleshooting can be done on your own.
Why does my Samsung refrigerator display say OF OF?
In most Samsung refrigerators, whenever the display on the control panel says OF OF, it means that the refrigerator is currently in the Cooling Off mode – also known as the Demo Mode or Shop Mode setting.
Here is a list of all the possible displayed codes and signals that show up whenever your Samsung refrigerator is in the Cooling Off mode:
- OF OF
- O FF
- OFF OFF
- The temperature bars of the control panel are scrolling back and forth.
- The Fridge Manager of Samsung refrigerator Family Hub models will display OFF in all of its compartments.
Cooling Off mode disables all the cooling features of the refrigerator – this includes the freezer and ice maker.
This mode is usually activated to prepare the refrigerator for display in showrooms and conventions – activating it saves energy and is efficient for these kinds of purposes.
How do I get my Samsung refrigerator out of the Cooling Off mode?
To disable the Cooling Off mode for most Samsung refrigerators, hold the ENERGY SAVER and POWER FREEZE/FREEZER buttons simultaneously until you hear a chime.
Some models may use a different method to turn off Cooling Off mode, so it is best to refer to your user manual for the correct button inputs.
Here is a table of the other Samsung fridge models and their button inputs to turn off Cooling Off mode:
| Model | Button Input |
| RF265** RF266** | Press Power Freeze and Freezer Temp buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. |
| RF267** | Press Energy Saving & Freezer Temp buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. |

If you don’t find your model in the given list, you should consult the user manual of your Samsung refrigerator to learn the proper button inputs to disable Cooling Off mode.
| Quick Note: Cooling Off mode can be a useful setting for conserving energy for your household – especially if you will be away from your home for a long period of time. If you plan to activate Cooling Off mode, simply perform the same button inputs that you did to disable the mode for your refrigerator. Just remember that this mode is not suitable for storing food, so make sure that your refrigerator is empty if you plan to activate and leave your refrigerator in this mode for long periods of time. |
Now that you know what the OF OF code means and how to clear it, you shouldn’t have too much trouble whenever it appears again in the future.
