What we can confirm
Code DI SP / DISP, 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.
The code
DI SP / DISP
A cube is stuck in the chute and the door flap cannot close, so the alarm sounds. The maker names three causes and every one of them is about a bin that sat still: infrequent use, temperature swings, a power cut. Cubes that part-thaw and refreeze bond into a single mass around the auger, and the auger then either cannot turn or shears a piece off into the chute. It is the classic complaint of a second refrigerator and of a household that travels — and in a region with summer outages, it is the code that arrives the week after a storm.

What it narrows down to
Indicates there is ice jammed in the chute. An alarm will sound when a cube is stuck in the chute too long. Ice has melted and frozen around the auger due to infrequent use, temperature fluctuations, and/or power outages. Ice cubes are jammed between the ice maker and the back of the ice bin.

What else belongs to the refrigerators
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.
Other codes this appliance can display
High temp will illuminate next to the clear alerts button. Alarm is played every 60 seconds. Press "CLEAR ALERTS" to acknowledge the alarm. The highest temp value will be displayed when the alarm is first acknowledged.
The Sabbath Mode is a feature that disables portions of the refrigerator and its controls in accordance with observance of the weekly Sabbath and religious holidays within the Orthodox Jewish community. Sabbath Mode is turned ON and OFF by simultaneously pressing and holding both the "−" and "Temp F-C" keys for five seconds. The display shows "Sb" while in Sabbath mode.

About Refrigerator error code DI SP / DISP
What DI SP / DISP means on this make
A cube is stuck in the chute and the door flap cannot close, so the alarm sounds. The maker names three causes and every one of them is about a bin that sat still: infrequent use, temperature swings, a power cut. Cubes that part-thaw and refreeze bond into a single mass around the auger, and the auger then either cannot turn or shears a piece off into the chute.

The other ways this one is printed
DI SP / DISP · DISP · DI SP
The same condition is printed differently on different panels of the same make, and every spelling the maker publishes for it is above. Whichever of them you searched for, this is the right page.
Where this appears, and why not to clear it
On the appliance's own display, as a short single code — a letter and a number, or two letters. Nothing alternates and nothing arrives in halves on this make, so what the panel shows is the whole of it. Photograph it before you cut the power. This maker's own answer to most of these is thirty seconds at the breaker, and that is worth following once — but a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again.
What to do about it
- Take the bin out completely, empty it, and let it thaw somewhere it can drain. Chipping at it in place is how augers get bent.
- Dry the bin, refit it squarely, and check it seats fully home — a bin sitting proud jams against the maker at the back.
- Look up into the chute with a torch for a piece still wedged, and clear it by hand rather than with the paddle.
- Throw the first batch of new ice away and see whether it dispenses. If it jams again with fresh cubes, the auger, its motor or the flap is the visit.
Where this goes next
The job this usually becomes is diagnostic visit, and that page 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, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call (305) 912-9018 and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
