Error code d2
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

On Kenmore bottom-freezer Trio refrigerators with model numbers starting 111, d2 shows when the unit is in forced defrost mode.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so d2 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

Forced defrost mode activated.

If your Kenmore bottom-freezer Trio refrigerator, model numbers starting 111, shows d2, the refrigerator is in forced defrost mode. This is a status message rather than a broken part.

How it ends

The control terminates forced defrost mode automatically when one of the evaporators reaches 55 degrees F. The refrigerator then returns to normal cooling, so there is no owner step to carry out while it runs.

Other codes on the same list

These ones do call for checks: dF (freezer door switch), dr (refrigerator door switch) and d (air damper, shown on a different model line).
