Possible Causes

Refrigerant leak in indoor or outdoor coil or flare joints, Severely undercharged system, Blocked or restricted expansion device, Faulty low-pressure sensor or transducer

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Refrigerant work must be performed by an EPA-certified (or local equivalent) technician. Do not attempt to open the refrigerant circuit yourself.

  • Homeowner checks:
    • Inspect visible flare joints at the outdoor unit for oil stains, which can indicate leaks.
    • Listen for hissing sounds near line sets or indoor coil.
    • Ensure indoor and outdoor coils are clean and not iced over.
  • Technician procedures (summary):
    • Connect gauges to verify low suction pressure.
    • Perform leak detection on flare joints, coils, and line set.
    • Repair leaks, evacuate, and recharge to Fujitsu-specified charge.
    • Verify operation and clear F0 code.
  • Sensor check: If pressures are normal but F0 persists, the low-pressure sensor or its wiring may be faulty and require replacement.
