Possible Causes

Open-circuit or shorted room temperature sensor (NTC), Loose sensor connector on indoor PCB, Damaged sensor wiring harness, Corroded sensor terminals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before accessing the indoor electronics.

  • Locate the room sensor: On SMEG wall units, the ambient sensor is usually clipped near the air intake or behind the front grille.
  • Check connection: Ensure the sensor plug is firmly connected to the indoor PCB. Reseat if loose.
  • Inspect wiring: Look for cuts or pinched wires along the sensor harness.
  • Replace sensor if needed: If F0 persists, replace the ambient NTC sensor with the correct SMEG part, matching resistance specifications.

Sensor replacement is generally straightforward but ensure power is fully isolated before work.
