Error codeiD Lo/Hi
ApplianceRefrigerator
Kenmore Trio bottom-freezer refrigerators (111-prefix models) display iD Lo or iD Hi for a failing ice room temperature sensor.
What an owner can do
Unplug the unit and follow the sensor’s wiring to the control board. If a wire is broken, mend it.
What comes after
From the control board, resistance through the sensor circuit is measured, and the sensor is swapped when the number lands outside the manual’s range. A technician takes that step. The sensor is the single part named; the codes reset when the failure has been fixed.
Bay Area owners, including those in San Francisco, can phone (415) 825-6393 about an iD code. Note the model number and whether the wiring looked damaged; the Kenmore refrigerator repair page has the wider picture.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so iD Lo/Hi may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
iD Lo/Hi is an ice room temperature sensor failure with a low or high reading.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
