How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before opening the cabinet.
Steps to address F0:
- Power reset: Unplug the unit for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and test.
- Check for surge damage: Inspect the power cord and plug for burn marks. If the unit was recently exposed to a power surge, consider using a surge protector after repair.
- Inspect control board connections: Remove the control panel and access the main PCB. Reseat all wire harness connectors firmly.
- Look for visible board damage: Check for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or corrosion. If present, replace the main control board.
- Board replacement: If F0 persists after reset and inspection, install a new OEM GE main control board matched to your model number.
