What we can confirm
Code FD, from the manufacturer's own documentation
A code is only meaningful together with the machine showing it — the same digits mean different things on different equipment.

On this make a code belongs to the appliance rather than to a product line. These are the other conditions this machine can display, and the models that can show this one — a display often has more than one thing to say, and the model number decides what any of it costs to put right.

Where this code actually appears
On the control panel, and usually with a sound. GE 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.
What to do about it
- Unplug the probe and see whether the code clears. If it does, the probe is the suspect.
- Check the receptacle for damage or debris — it lives inside a hot cavity and is handled with oven gloves.
- Try a known-good probe if you have one.
- A probe circuit is not usually urgent: the oven works without it, and the repair can be planned rather than rushed.
Where this goes next
The job this usually becomes is diagnostic visit, and every one of those pages carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call (305) 306-2503 and describe what the display is doing before booking anything.
