Possible Causes

Internal EOC failure, Keypad communication error, Corrupted control logic due to power surge, Loose keypad ribbon connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power at the breaker before removing any panels.

Steps:

  • Power cycle: Turn the breaker OFF for 5–10 minutes, then back ON. If F0 clears and does not return, it may have been a transient glitch.
  • Inspect keypad connection: Remove the backguard cover and reseat the keypad ribbon cable at the EOC. Check for corrosion or damage.
  • Check for moisture: Look for signs of moisture or cleaner residue on the control board and keypad. Allow to dry thoroughly if present.
  • Replace components: If F0 persists, replace the keypad/touch panel first if it is a separate part. If the keypad is integrated or replacement does not help, replace the EOC.

Tip: Use a surge protector on the range circuit only if it is rated for the appliance load and permitted by local code; otherwise, ensure the home electrical system is properly grounded.
