What oF
actually means.

oF on the temperature display of a Dacor column refrigerator means Cooling Off mode, also called Shop mode, is on. It is meant for showroom floors: the fan and lights run normally, but the compressors do not, so the refrigerator does not get cold. Nothing has failed; the mode needs to be switched off.

Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for oF on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

If the Control Lock indicator is lit, unlock the panel first.

02

Press and hold Deodorizer Reset, Filter Reset and Override together for 5 seconds; a chime sounds and the display goes back to showing the temperature.

03

Allow several hours for the column to come down to temperature.

Cleared?

Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.

What not to do

Do not read oF as a failed compressor or a sealed-system problem. With oF showing, the compressors are off by design.

In Dacor's own words

Questions
about oF.

Can I clear oF myself?
If the Control Lock indicator is lit, unlock the panel first.
Why is my Dacor column not cooling when it shows oF?
oF means Cooling Off, or Shop, mode is active. The fan and lights run but the compressors stay off, so nothing gets cold. The compressors are idle on purpose, not because anything broke.
How do I get my Dacor out of oF mode?
Unlock the panel if Control Lock is on, then hold Deodorizer Reset, Filter Reset and Override together for 5 seconds. A chime sounds and the temperature returns to the display. Give it several hours to reach temperature.

Back to your everyday

Still showing oF?

Book with the exact characters, the full model number, and whether it is still cooling — on a code, that is the whole starting point.
