# Kenmore Trio diagnostic code iD Lo or iD Hi

iD Lo or iD Hi in a Kenmore 111 Trio's diagnostic list reports the ice room temperature sensor.

## What iD Lo or iD Hi actually means.

iD Lo or iD Hi in a Kenmore 111 Trio's diagnostic list reports the ice room temperature sensor. Sears measures its resistance and replaces it if the reading falls outside 1,000 to 40,000 ohms.

What to do when iD Lo or iD Hi shows on the ice maker

### Kind of code Temperature sensors

The control lost track of how cold the ice mold or the ice compartment is, because a thermistor reads nonsense or its wire lost contact. Without that reading the ice maker cannot tell when a batch is frozen, so it stops or harvests at the wrong time. Frost packed around the sensor and a loose plug are checked before the sensor itself is changed.

### Usually leads to Ice maker control and sensor repair

The control board, the thermistors, the bin sensor and the wiring that decide when an ice maker fills, freezes and stops, tested and repaired when a light flashes, a code shows, a breaker trips or the ice never stops coming.

### Shows up as No Ice Coming From the Ice Maker

The mold sits empty or holds one frozen batch that never drops, the bin stays bare for days, and the dispenser gives water as usual: an ice maker not making ice while the rest of the appliance carries on normally.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Kenmore's own guidance for iD Lo or iD Hi on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Record whether it reads Lo or Hi.

02

Leave diagnostic mode with the Lock button.

03

Book a visit for the sensor and wiring test.

### Still there?

It usually turns into [ice maker control and sensor repair](https://icemakerrepair.center/services/ice-maker-control-and-sensor-repair/). Book with the code and the model number.

### What not to do

iD is not the ice maker's own sensor; that is i5. A bad ice room sensor can slow ice even when the ice maker is sound.

## What you may notice with it.

The ice maker problems iD Lo or iD Hi tends to arrive with. Answer these at the ice maker before anyone is booked.

Kenmore builds this

### Door ice maker

The ice maker that feeds the dispenser on the outside of a door: tucked into an insulated box in the left door of a French door model, or at the top of the freezer side of a side-by-side, with a chute and an auger carrying cubes to your glass.

Kenmore builds this

### Freezer ice maker

The ice maker that sits inside the freezer compartment itself, a tray that twists or a mold with a heater and an ejector, dropping cubes into a bin or drawer you open by hand, with no dispenser on the door.

## In Kenmore's own words

> Replace the ice room temperature sensor if resistance isn't between 1,000 and 40,000 ohms.

## Questions about iD Lo or iD Hi.

### Can I clear iD Lo or iD Hi myself?

Record whether it reads Lo or Hi. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What is the ice room on a Kenmore Trio?

The compartment where the ice is made and stored, watched by its own temperature sensor.

### What reading does Sears expect from the Kenmore ice room sensor?

Between 1,000 and 40,000 ohms.

### Can I keep using ice from a Kenmore with iD?

The code concerns a temperature sensor, not the water supply. Fresh, loose cubes are fine to use; throw out ice that has melted and refrozen into clumps.
