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”.

    Andy,
    What causes error code 5E on a Samsung refrigerator?
    This fault means a problem with the defrost sensor.
    This part acts as an on/off switch for your heater and timer.
    So most likely, you need to replace the DEFROST SENSOR.
    Do some troubleshooting, such as turning the refrigerator off for about 15 minutes and plugging back in.
    Then see if the error code 5E clears.
    If the 5E comes back, replace the defrost sensor.
