Demo Mode I bought a floor model refrigerator from sears and i cant get the touch screen off of demo mode.

0F 0F on a Samsung refrigerator display indicates that your unit is in DEMO Mode. In DEMO mode, the lights work, but the refrigerator/freezer, fans, etc. will not operate (this mode is for display/retail purposes in appliance stores). Unfortunately, Samsung does not include any info re: DEMO mode in their user manuals.

To exit DEMO mode and return to operating mode, you will need to push 2 display buttons simultaneously for ~ 3 seconds (you'll hear a small chime, then the display window will display the freezer/fridge temps and will then be out of the 0F 0F DEMO mode). The 2 display buttons that you have to press simultaneously will depend on the model of Samsung refrigerator that you have.

I have a Samsung RF18HFENBSR model (french door, bottom freezer, display at top center of fridge compartment). For this model, you press the Power Freeze & Freezer buttons at the same time to enter/exit DEMO mode).

You might try googling Samsung XXXXXXXXXX Demo Mode, where XXXXXXXXX is your model number, and you may find the display button combo for your model. If not, then you can probably get the combination from Samsung support to return your unit to normal operating mode. Your appliance store may also have that information.

DEMO Mode
The oven can be set to operate in a demo (eg in a retail
store) mode. In this mode the oven does not actually heat
If the oven has been inadvertently supplied in this mode.
The following instructions demonstrate how to exit this mode.
1. Ensure the oven is in the off state. Press and hold the +
button until a beep sounds. The 'Demo' text will begin
to flash.
2. While holding the + button turn the function selector to
the first oven function until another beep is heard.
3. Then turn the function selector to the 'off' position.
4. Release the + button.
5. Toggle and hold the temperature selector to the right (+)
until 3 beeps sound.
The 'Demo' text will no longer be lit and the oven will
function normally. If the 'Demo' test is still present then
repeat the above procedure.

Press "Energy Saver" & "Freezer Power" buttons and hold for 3 seconds.

Good luck!

Hello Amelia;

My Name is peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

You have a brand new unit off the floor. You do not have component failure problems.

You purchased a floor model. Floor models are set in the; "Demo Mode". In this mode your unit will not cool. Taking a unit out of the demo mode depends on the model. You need to contact your place of purchase to determine what buttons you need to press to get the unit out of the demo mode.

The people who deliver the units for Sears are contractors. Physical contract laborers. Most can not speak English.

I should know, I am a former Sears Home Service refrigeration/ A&E factory Service technician; all under the same umbrella. I have heard all the complaints about Sears deliveries.

This function is for a display purpose on the floor of show room or store.
1) Mode ON/OFF
1-1) For the exhibition mode, press Power Freeze and Freezer Temp. buttons simultaneously for 8 seconds until a
“ding-dong” sounds.
1-2) Press the same time buttons again for 8 seconds to cancel this mode put with a “ding-dong” sound.
2) Operation
2-1) Most of the system function except the compressor operation are working properly.
2-2) There is no defrost cycle in this mode.

turn off with OFF sw.
Press WARMER / COLDER sw for 5 seconds
While maintaining warmer / colder turn ON with ON sw.
SHOULD NOW TURN ON

you have to be in standby mode, thats the key, i had the same problem, just go to "demo on" and change it to "demo off"

If following dirctions from your owners manual does not do the trick. I would call for a tech to look at it. Every thing is control by dispenser board on a PSS26P

Hold down the home and help buttons at the same time for about 3 secs and it will come out of demo mode
