What COOLING OFF
actually means.
On Monogram built-in column freezers, holding the plus and minus pads together until COOLING OFF appears stops the cooling system without cutting power. The lights and display keep working, so the column looks alive while it warms up.

What to do when COOLING OFF shows on the freezerKind of codeMode, not a failure
A setting the freezer was put into, often by accident or by the store it came from, rather than a part that broke: a showroom or demo mode that lights the display while the compressor stays off, a fast freeze left running for days, a Sabbath setting that silences the alarms, a control lock, a door alarm reminding you the door stood open. Nothing has worn out, and the freezer's own buttons or manual put it back.
Usually leads toNo repair
Press either the plus or the minus pad; the display shows COOLING ON.
Shows up asStandalone Freezer Not Freezing
A standalone freezer not freezing shows it on a thermometer long before the food goes soft: packages give under your thumb, a tub of stock is slush at the center, and the cabinet air feels cool rather than biting.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Monogram's own guidance for COOLING OFF on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press either the plus or the minus pad; the display shows COOLING ON.
Watch for the preset 0°F to appear after about 3 seconds.
Allow up to 24 hours for the column to reach temperature, and move food to another freezer if it has softened.
If COOLING OFF comes back without anyone touching the panel, book a visit.
Cleared?
The freezer is holding its temperature again and no part had to be replaced. If the same code comes back within a few days, or the packages start to soften again, book it as a fresh problem.
What not to do
COOLING OFF does not mean the compressor or the control has failed. Someone, or a stuck pad, has told the column to stop cooling.
