What 77 77 means

A display reading 77 77 on an Electrolux refrigerator with an electronic display, such as the EI23BC30KS or EW23BC85KS, means the unit is in Demo Mode. Demo Mode is meant for showroom set-up, where the display works but the cooling parts stay off. At home the refrigerator will not cool while it is in this mode, so food warms up. It is not a breakdown. The unit has simply been switched into a display setting.

Common causes of 77 77

Demo Mode was switched on by a key press sequence, often during cleaning or delivery
A power interruption that left the control in that mode

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Unplug the refrigerator for five minutes. 2. Plug it back in and watch the display. 3. Give it time to start cooling and check that the cabinet gets cold. 4. If 77 77 returns, move perishable food to a working refrigerator and call us.

! Why to stop there

If the display returns to Demo Mode after the unplug, the control needs a closer look.
We confirm the cooling parts actually start once the mode is cleared.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

77 7777 77 questions

Why is my refrigerator not cooling and showing 77 77?

It is in Demo Mode, which is set up for showroom displays. In that mode the display works but the cooling parts stay off, so the cabinet warms up until the mode is cleared.

How do I get out of Demo Mode?

Unplug the refrigerator for five minutes and plug it back in. Give it time to start cooling. If 77 77 comes back after that, the control needs a closer look and we can test it.

Is my food safe in a refrigerator showing 77 77?

Not if the unit has not been cooling for hours. Move perishables to a working refrigerator or cooler, and check the temperatures once the unit has had time to recover.
