# Refrigerator: Showroom demo mode

### What the appliance is actually reporting

This is the one on the list that panics people and costs nothing. Demo or display mode is a setting for a shop floor: the lights work, the display works, the fans run, and the cooling is switched off entirely so a machine can stand in a showroom without running a compressor all day. A refrigerator delivered straight from a display, or one where a child has leaned on the right two buttons, will do exactly what a broken one does — and be perfectly healthy. It is always worth ruling out before anyone is called, and it takes about ten seconds.

### The other light combinations that mean this

OFF · Demo mode · Display mode · OF OF · O FF

LG publishes what the indicator lights mean on the washers and dryers that have no numeric display. They are grouped here by what they mean rather than split into near-identical pages, and every pattern the maker names is printed above.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the indicator lights, on a laundry machine with no numeric display. LG publishes what the patterns mean, and on those models the pattern is the entire diagnosis — it disappears the moment the power is cut. Write it down or photograph the panel before switching anything off, and count a full sequence rather than a single flash: the lights also blink to show cycle status, so treat it as an error only if the machine is misbehaving as well.

### What to do about it

- Open the fresh food door. Hold the FRIDGE button and press Express FRZ three times.
- On some models it is the two buttons held together for three seconds instead.
- Listen for the chime that confirms the setting has changed.
- If the compressor starts and the cabinet begins to cool, that was the whole problem.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 419-0291](tel:+13054190291) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
