If LG LFC24786SD shows OFF and stops cooling in Demo Mode, use these manufacturer-documented checks to identify the cause before replacing a part or requesting service. The official sources listed below tie “shows OFF and stops cooling in Demo Mode” to the exact related models and to this shared first-line control path. OFF on the panel means Demo or Display mode has disabled cooling; it is a mode indication rather than a component error. Keep doors closed while checking temperatures. Unplug before cleaning near electrical areas and close the water valve before touching any visible water connection. Open the refrigerator door and use the model manual's Fridge plus Express Freeze button sequence once; confirm that normal temperature values replace OFF before waiting for cooling. Recheck the same location after the official waiting period; do not make a second temperature change during that interval. Stop for a damaged water line, uncontrolled leak, hot plug, burning smell, exposed wiring or repeated loss of safe food temperature after the documented observation period.

Next step
Repair, replace a part, or arrange a diagnosis?
Use the checks and stop conditions above to choose a cautious next step. A symptom alone never proves that the appliance has failed.
Resolve it without buying anything
Complete the 3 user-accessible checks in order. If normal operation returns and no warning sign remains, no replacement is indicated.
Replace only the confirmed part
If the checks isolate a worn or blocked component, match its complete reference to the exact appliance model before ordering.
This guide does not identify a replacement part. Do not order a generic component from the symptom alone.
Arrange a diagnosis before replacing the appliance
Stop at any warning sign listed above. A qualified diagnosis should confirm that repair is unsafe, unavailable or uneconomical before an appliance replacement is considered.
