Error code F dH
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

F dH means the sensor did not get over 40 F during defrost on Kenmore and Kenmore Elite 795 bottom-freezer refrigerators.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F dH 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

Defrost sensor did not rise above 40 F.

F dH appears on Kenmore and Kenmore Elite 795 bottom-freezer refrigerators when the sensor did not get over 40 F in defrost.

What the manual points to

For this code the manual lists a faulty fuse, heater or control board. The parts named are the controller assembly, the defrost heater and the relay on the control board.

What that means for you

These are defrost system parts, so this is a job for a technician rather than an owner. The manual gives no owner steps for F dH.

Related defrost codes

Look at F dS for the freezer defrost sensor error and FD Lo/Hi for a freezer defrost sensor failure. F3 is the freezer defrost heater failure.
