What oF
actually means.
Cooling Off, also called Demo mode, is for showroom floors. The fan motor and lights keep working, but the compressors do not run, so the column never gets cold, and the temperature display shows oF instead of a temperature.

What to do when oF shows on the wine coolerKind of codeMode, not a failure
A setting someone switched on, often by leaning on the touch panel or left over from the showroom floor, rather than a part that wore out: a demo mode that lights the display and the rack lamps while the cooling never starts, a Sabbath setting that turns off the lights and alarms, a child or control lock that ignores every key press, a reminder that the glass door stood open. The cabinet is fine, and its own keys or its manual switch the mode back off.
Usually leads toNo repair
Check that the Lock indicator is off; Lock has to be released first.
Shows up asWine Cooler Error Code
A wine cooler error code appears as letters and digits on the display, a flashing temperature, dashes where a number should be or a blinking symbol, sometimes with an alarm tone and sometimes while the cabinet stays perfectly cool.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for oF on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check that the Lock indicator is off; Lock has to be released first.
Press and hold Cabinet Light, Presenter Light and Lock together for 5 seconds.
Listen for the chime and check that the display shows a temperature again.
If the zones do not start cooling within a few hours, book a visit.
Cleared?
The display has gone quiet and the cabinet is back at its setting without a new part. Should the code reappear this week, or the reds start feeling warm again, book a visit and mention that it came back.
What not to do
oF does not mean the column is switched off or broken; the fans and lights are still running. Nor is it a number the sensors measured.

Wine column
A full-height built-in wine cabinet, 18 to 30 inches wide, set flush into tall cabinetry or paired with a matching column, with a glass or panel door and dozens to well over a hundred bottles inside.
Dual-zone wine cooler
A wine cooler with two separately set compartments, upper and lower or side by side, so reds and whites or a storage zone and a serving zone each keep their own temperature.
In Dacor's own words
the compressors do not run so the wine cellar does not get cold.

Still showing oF?
When you book, copy the code or the blink pattern as the display shows it, add the whole model number, and say whether the bottles still feel cool — a code gives the technician a head start.
