Quick answer
OFF flashing on the DCS RF15I outdoor ice maker is a bin sensor error: a failed temperature sensor puts the machine in the OFF state.
Model compatibility: DCS reuses codes across series and model years, so OFF flashing may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
