Possible Causes

Loose wiring harness between sensors and control board, Multiple sensor failures, Faulty main control board, Power surge damage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before inspection.

Steps:

  • Power cycle: Unplug for 10 minutes to allow the control board to fully discharge. Plug back in and check if F0 clears.
  • Inspect wiring harnesses: Remove the front or rear panel to access the main control board. Check all sensor connectors (humidity, temperature, defrost) for secure fit.
  • Look for damage: Examine the control board for burn marks, swollen components, or corrosion from moisture.
  • Check for moisture intrusion: Ensure there are no signs of water leaks onto the control board area. If present, correct the leak source and dry the area thoroughly.
  • Test operation: Reassemble and run the unit. If F0 persists, the control board or multiple sensors may be defective.
  • Service recommendation: Because F0 can indicate complex electronic faults, replacement of the main control board should typically be done by a qualified technician.
