How to fix the F0 code
Unplug the oven or switch it off at the breaker before removing any panel or filter.
Step 1: Reset power at the breaker
Turn off the circuit breaker for the oven for one to two minutes, then turn it back on. Watch the display to see if F0 returns.
Step 2: Check for stuck keys
Press each key gently and make sure none feels stuck or stays down.
Step 3: Dry the control panel
Wipe the panel with a dry cloth. If liquid got behind it, leave the breaker off for a few hours before trying again.
You'll need: Soft dry cloth.

Common questions
›Is F0 the same as FO on a GE oven?
Yes. The display shows a zero, but it looks like the letter O. Both mean the same keypanel code.
›Can I replace a GE oven keypanel myself?
On many models, yes, if you are handy and the breaker is off. Some keypanels come bonded to the glass, so the whole panel part may be needed.
