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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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