Error code d
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

The d code on a Kenmore 106 model refrigerator points to a stuck air damper; unplug the unit and look at the damper.

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).

Quick answer

Stuck air damper. That is what d means when it shows on the refrigerator display of a Kenmore 106 model refrigerator.

Owner checklist

  1. Unplug the refrigerator before you touch anything.
  2. Look the air damper over for damage; it directs air from the freezer compartment into the refrigerator compartment.
  3. A broken damper must be replaced.

Codes easily confused with d

  • d2: a forced defrost mode, not a damper problem.
  • dr: the refrigerator door switch.
  • C: a thermistor failure, seen on the refrigerator or freezer display.
