What Or
actually means.
Or on a Dacor column refrigerator means Override, a setting for homes on a utility demand-response (Smart Grid) program. With Override on, the refrigerator ignores the utility's signal to cut back its power use. Or flashes up for 5 seconds when Override is switched on or off, and again in the fridge temperature display when a utility signal arrives while Override is on.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for Or on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check whether the Override indicator on the panel is lit; if so, Or is expected.
To turn Override off, press and hold Override for 3 seconds; a chime sounds and Or shows briefly.
Leave it on if you prefer the refrigerator not to be managed by the utility company.
If the compartments are also warm, look for other messages before assuming Or is the cause.
Cleared?
Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.
What not to do
Or is not an error and does not mean cooling has stopped. It only concerns how the refrigerator responds to the utility company.

Dacor refrigerator repair
Built-in refrigerator
Flush with the cabinets, serviced from the front, and almost always repaired rather than replaced.
Refrigerator column
Separate refrigerator and freezer towers, each with its own sealed system — so a failure stays on one side.
French door refrigerator
Two fresh-food doors over a freezer drawer — the most common premium layout, and the one with the most to go wrong at the door line.
In Dacor's own words
If the refrigerator receives a SMART GRID (Demand Response) signal from the utility company, `Or’ is displayed in the fridge temperature display.
