# SKS OF: Display Mode has switched cooling off

SKS wine columns and the undercounter unit have a Display Mode for showrooms.

## What OF actually means.

SKS wine columns and the undercounter unit have a Display Mode for showrooms. It disables all cooling while the controls keep working, and shows OF on the panel for 20 seconds; the undercounter manual prints it as OFF in one place and OF in its FAQ.

What to do when OF shows on the wine cooler

### Kind of code Mode, 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 to No repair

Confirm the panel shows OF and the cabinet is not cold.

### Shows up as Wine 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 SKS's own guidance for OF on its wine coolers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Confirm the panel shows OF and the cabinet is not cold.

02

On a column: open the door and hold Upper and Humidity together for five seconds.

03

SKSUW2401P undercounter: door open, keep Lower pressed and tap Wi-Fi three times.

04

Wait for the beep and the temperature settings; if cooling does not start 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 unit is switched off; the controls and lights still work. It is also not the Power button, which turns the whole unit off.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about OF.

### Can I clear OF myself?

Confirm the panel shows OF and the cabinet is not cold.

### Why is my new SKS wine unit not cooling?

Check for OF on the panel first. Display Mode is sometimes left on after delivery or a showroom, and it stops all cooling.

### Is the SKS Display Mode button combination the same on every model?

No. The columns use Upper and Humidity held for five seconds with the door open; the undercounter unit uses Lower held while pressing Wi-Fi three times.

### Will my wine warm up in SKS Display Mode?

Yes, cooling is disabled entirely, so the cabinet drifts to room temperature. Turn it off as soon as you notice it.
