Monogram Refrigerator Error Code dE

The dE error code on a Monogram refrigerator indicates that the defrost system has not operated properly in the last 24 hours. This can be caused by a number of factors, including:

• Faulty defrost timer
• Faulty defrost thermostat
• Faulty defrost heater
• Blocked defrost drain
• Defrost water pan full

If you see this error code on your Monogram refrigerator, the first step is to try unplugging the appliance for 30 seconds and then plugging it back in. This can sometimes reset the control board and clear the error code.

If unplugging the appliance does not clear the error code, you will need to investigate further.

Here are some things you can do:

• Check the defrost timer. The defrost timer is responsible for cycling the defrost system on and off. If the timer is faulty, it may not be turning on the defrost system.
• Check the defrost thermostat. The defrost thermostat is responsible for detecting when the freezer has reached a certain temperature. If the thermostat is faulty, it may not be sending the signal to turn on the defrost system.
• Check the defrost heater. The defrost heater is responsible for melting the frost buildup on the evaporator coils. If the heater is faulty, it may not be melting the frost buildup, which can prevent the defrost system from operating properly.
• Check the defrost drain. The defrost drain is responsible for draining the melted frost from the evaporator coils. If the drain is blocked, it can prevent the defrost system from operating properly.
• Check the defrost water pan. The defrost water pan is where the melted frost drains. If the pan is full, it can prevent the defrost system from operating properly.

If you have checked all of these things and you are still seeing the error code, you will need to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

Additional Tips:

• To prevent defrost system failures, it is important to clean the coils regularly. The coils can become clogged with dirt and debris, which can prevent the defrost system from operating properly.
• You should also ensure that the refrigerator is properly ventilated. If the refrigerator is not properly ventilated, it can cause the coils to overheat, which can also lead to defrost system failures.

By following these tips, you can help to keep your Monogram refrigerator running smoothly and prevent defrost system failures.
