Monogram Range Error Code FD

The FD error code on a Monogram range indicates that the meat probe has shorted out. This can be caused by a number of factors, including:

• Damage to the probe: The probe can be damaged by being pinched, cut, or burned.
• Condensation or contamination on the probe receptacle: Condensation or contamination on the probe receptacle can cause a short circuit.
• A faulty probe circuit: A faulty probe circuit can also cause the FD error code to appear.

Symptoms of a Shorted Meat Probe

The most common symptom of a shorted meat probe is the FD error code. Other symptoms may include:

• The range will not turn on.

Troubleshooting a Shorted Meat Probe

If you suspect that the meat probe in your Monogram range is shorted out, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Check the probe: The first step is to check the probe for any signs of damage. Look for pinched wires, cuts, or burns. If you find any damage, the probe will need to be replaced.
2. Check for condensation or contamination on the probe receptacle: Condensation or contamination on the probe receptacle can cause a short circuit. To check for condensation, look for droplets of water on the receptacle. To check for contamination, look for food or debris that may be blocking the receptacle. If you find any condensation or contamination, clean it away.
3. Check the probe circuit: If you have checked the probe and the probe receptacle and the FD error code is still present, the probe circuit may be faulty. To check the probe circuit, you will need to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

Replacing the Meat Probe

If the meat probe needs to be replaced, you can purchase a new probe from a Monogram authorized dealer. To replace the probe, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the range.
2. Remove the probe from the range.
3. Install the new probe.
4. Plug in the range.

Additional Information

The FD error code is a general error code that can be caused by a variety of factors. If you are not comfortable troubleshooting the issue yourself, it is best to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

Here is a more detailed explanation of each possible cause of the FD error code:

Damage to the probe

The probe is a delicate component that can be damaged easily. If the probe is pinched, cut, or burned, it may short out. To check for damage to the probe, look for any visible signs of damage, such as pinched wires, cuts, or burns.

Condensation or contamination on the probe receptacle

Condensation or contamination on the probe receptacle can cause a short circuit. This can be caused by cooking food that produces a lot of steam, such as roasts or turkeys. To check for condensation or contamination on the probe receptacle, look for droplets of water or food or debris that may be blocking the receptacle.

A faulty probe circuit

A faulty probe circuit can also cause the FD error code to appear. This is a more serious problem that will require the assistance of a qualified appliance repair technician.
