A display message can describe a mode rather than a damaged part.
Samsung refrigerator support identifies Cooling Off indications such as OF OF and O FF. A mode indication should not be turned into a parts diagnosis without checking the instructions for that refrigerator. Keep the spacing and characters visible in a photograph, since a short paraphrase can lose useful distinctions.
Describe the condition you noticed as well as the message: warming contents, an absent ice supply, an unresponsive dispenser or an alert following a power event. An illuminated display only tells part of the story. The event sequence and observed appliance behavior help frame the inquiry.
Distinguish making ice from delivering it.
Ice already present in a bin but unavailable at the dispenser is a different observation from an empty bin that has not refilled. Say which situation occurred. Mention whether the water dispenser also changed, and record any message related to the ice function.
Do not use heat, sharp objects or force to expose a frozen mechanism for a photograph. A view of the display and the accessible dispenser area can document the concern without reaching into moving parts. The equipment version determines what the applicable owner guidance describes.
Keep connected notifications separate from refrigerator behavior.
If your product has an app connection, report an existing app notification alongside what the refrigerator itself displayed. Note when each appeared. A lost connection and a physical cooling change need separate descriptions; neither should automatically be presented as proof of the other.

Samsung display and ice questions
Does OF OF automatically mean a replacement part is needed?
Samsung identifies this as a Cooling Off indication. Consult the instructions for the particular refrigerator before treating it as a hardware failure; control sequences should not be borrowed from another model.
What if ice is in the bin but will not dispense?
State that stored ice is present and describe the dispenser response. This preserves the difference between a delivery problem and a stopped production cycle without attempting to identify the failed component remotely.
Should I reset the refrigerator just to remove the message?
Capture the message first and consult the matching owner instructions. Repeated resets can make an inquiry less informative by clearing the observation you were trying to describe.
