Error code d
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

On Kenmore 106 model refrigerators, d on the display means the air damper is stuck.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so d may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

Air damper is stuck (shown as d on the refrigerator display).

A d on the refrigerator display of a Kenmore 106 model refrigerator means the air damper is stuck. The damper is the part that controls air flow from the freezer compartment to the refrigerator compartment.

What the owner’s manual says to do

Unplug the refrigerator. Then examine the air damper for damage. If the damper is broken, it has to be replaced.

Do not mix it up with other codes

The same 106 model list also has a C code for thermistor (temperature sensor) failures, and it appears on the refrigerator or the freezer display. A plain d is about the damper. Related codes: d2 (forced defrost mode, a different d code), dr (refrigerator door switch) and C (a compartment sensor failure shown on a different display).
