Samsung refrigerator compressor would not turn on after shutting fridge off

Repair & Advice
Started out defrosting the fridge. Water was pooling up outside the fridge every few days. Read on the internet how to fix by putting copper wire around defrost heater and snaking it down the fridge drain. After I did that I plugged fridge back in and the compressor wouldn't fire back up. I thought I fried the start and overload relay. So I ordered parts from Parts Dr and them delivered them in record time. After plugging fridge back in, the compressor still wouldn't fire up. Read on the internet that Samsung fridges; when unplugged for a long time; go back into Demo mode. That means everything runs for a
store demo but the compressor. To get it out of Demo mode, I read you have to press two buttons and hold for three seconds. Did that and now fridge runs just fine. So if anyone ever unplugs their Samsung fridge with digital front;and realizes their compressor won't restart; look to the internet to see which buttons to push to get out of Demo mode.
