Kenmore Refrigerator dE Error Code

A door (usually freezer or fresh food) has been left open for an extended period.

Common causes

  • Door not closed fully
  • Door switch not engaging
  • Food blocking the door

How to fix it

  1. Check that both doors are fully closed and no items are blocking.
  2. Inspect the door gasket for tears or debris preventing a seal.
  3. If code stays on with doors closed, test the door switch for continuity; replace if faulty.
⚠ When to call a pro: If door switch tests fine but code remains, call a technician to check the control board.
