Samsung Refrigerator OF OF Code On Display – How To Clear?

What does OF OF mean on a Samsung refrigerator? The Samsung fridge OF OF code means the refrigerator is in Display Mode, Demo Mode, or Showroom Mode. These modes are meant for displaying the appliance in a store or showroom, such as on the showroom floor at Home Depot, Lowe’s, Best Buy, etc. This “Showroom Mode” is incorporated into all Samsung refrigerators with a digital display panel. The OF OF code is meant to not let the compressor run when the refrigerator is being displayed for demo purposes.

If the Samsung refrigerator is in Showroom Mode, the interior lights and the display panel will illuminate, but the compressor will not run. This is done purposefully so the compressor does not run when the fridge is displayed at a store or on a showroom floor. This lets the refrigerator be displayed with all the lights working, but no cooling taking place. You will also notice that the ice maker and water dispenser will not work. When the OF OF code is shown, the fridge is not cooling.

When you see the OF OF code on the refrigerator display panel, it may have been accidentally set. Many times the OF OF will display if you buy the refrigerator off the showroom floor, also known as a “Floor Model”. When the OF OF is shown, and your Samsung refrigerator is not cooling, you will need to reset the refrigerator using the display panel to get the fridge back to normal and cooling again. When your Samsung refrigerator shows the OF OF or OFF code, here is how to reset it…

  1. Hello. I have a Samsung model rf4287hars/xaa. Today I noticed water dripping from the ice maker and the food inside starting to thaw. On the screen panel, it showed “OF OF” (not flashing). I reset this by holding the energy and freeze buttons, and the “OF OF” went away. However, there still isn’t any cooling going on. No ice, and fridge not cooling. Is there any other reason to get this indication?

  2. My Samsung refrigerator model RF 4287 series has a display 6 E
    Can you please let me know what is wrong or if I can reset it?
    Thank you
    Ana

  3. My fridge has the of of on display and I’ve tried and tried to get it to come out of that mode it seems to be stuck. Any suggestions

  4. Thank you! I used the chat-line type help that Samsung has but they couldn’t help me. This site had me press a different combination and it worked!

  5. Thank you! The demo setting somehow got switched on today and I couldn’t figure out what on earth was wrong, as this isn’t in the manual. What a ridiculous “feature” to include in the easily-accessed door panel! I have five small kids and who knows if it was one of them or someone accidentally leaning on the panel who turned on the display mode. You shouldn’t be able to turn your fridge off (and yet have it appear to be working) so easily!
