What OF F
actually means.
The refrigerator is in demo mode, the setting used on a showroom floor. Lights and controls work and cooling is switched off in both compartments — nothing has failed.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from LG's own guidance for OF F on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Open either refrigerator door.
Press and hold REFRIGERATOR and ICE PLUS together for five seconds, until it beeps and the temperatures show.
Allow several hours for it 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 book a cooling repair for it. An appliance in demo mode is doing what it was set to do.
