# Monogram refrigerator dE defrost code

### What dE means, in the maker’s own words

The defrost system has not operated properly in the last 24 hours. This one is a genuine repair, and left alone it becomes ice on the evaporator, air that stops moving through it, and a cabinet that runs continuously while getting warmer.

### Where this code actually appears

On the control panel, and usually with a sound. Monogram describes their refrigerator codes as flashing green on the display and typically accompanied by a beeping, and the range, microwave and dishwasher tables all describe codes you can read from the front of the appliance. That is the opposite of some makes, where the number is written into a hidden log and never shown — here, if something is wrong, the appliance generally tells you. Photograph what it says before cutting the power, because a reset erases it and the code is most of the diagnosis.

### Which machines this one applies to

Monogram refrigeration with electronic dispenser controls. Monogram says plainly on their own range and oven table that they cannot list every code for every model past and present, so a code missing from their table is not proof that your appliance cannot raise it — and a code in it is not proof that yours can. The model number settles it.

### What to do about it

- Look at the back wall of the freezer compartment. An even coat of frost across it is the picture that goes with this code.
- Check the door before assuming the circuit. A seal that has stopped meeting the cabinet, or a panel that has pulled the door out of true, will defeat a healthy defrost system in this climate.
- The circuit has three parts — the heater, what permits it, and the control that calls for it — and each is measured separately.
- Clear the evaporator properly once it is repaired. A cabinet returned with ice still on the coil comes back.
