Error code d2
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

The d2 code on a Kenmore 111 Trio refrigerator tells you forced defrost mode is on; the control ends it automatically.

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.

d2 on a 111 Trio refrigerator

Model numbers starting 111 on the Kenmore bottom-freezer Trio can show d2. It tells you forced defrost mode has been activated.

  • The control ends the mode by itself once one of the evaporators reaches 55 degrees F.
  • After that, normal cooling resumes.

When to look at a different code

d2 is not a door or damper fault. If you see dF or dr, a door switch is involved. d belongs to the air damper on another series.
