Quick answer

FD Lo or FD Hi is a freezer defrost sensor failure on Kenmore bottom-freezer Trio refrigerators, model numbers starting 111.

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so FD Lo/Hi 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

Freezer defrost sensor failure (low or high reading).

FD Lo and FD Hi are freezer defrost sensor failure codes on a Kenmore bottom-freezer Trio refrigerator with a model number starting 111.

Steps listed in the manual

You start by unplugging the refrigerator. After that the freezer defrost sensor wiring, which is connected to the control board, gets checked for damage and any broken wires are repaired.

If the wiring is fine, a technician measures the resistance through the freezer defrost sensor circuit from the control board. The sensor is replaced if the reading is outside the manual’s range. The only part named is the freezer defrost sensor.
