The control has found a keypanel fault, such as a key that seems stuck. GE groups F0 with its keypanel codes and says the keypanel often needs replacing.

Likely causes

Listed from most to least common.

  1. A key stuck down or pressed for too long
  2. Moisture or cleaner behind the touch panel
  3. Failed keypanel membrane
  4. Loose ribbon cable between keypanel and control

How to fix the F0 code

Unplug the oven or switch it off at the breaker before removing any panel or filter.

  1. 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.

  2. Step 2: Check for stuck keys

    Press each key gently and make sure none feels stuck or stays down.

  3. 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.

Parts that may need replacing

Check your model number on the label inside the door or on the back before ordering.

When to call a technician

Call a technician if F0 keeps coming back after a reset. The keypanel will likely need replacing, and the part must match your model number.

A typical repair for this code costs $150–$400 in the US, including parts and labor. Prices vary by area and model.

Models this applies to

  • GE electric and gas ranges (JB, JGB, JS and JGS series)
  • GE Profile and Café ranges (PB, PGB, PS, CES and CGS series)
  • Single and double wall ovens (JTS, JTD, PTS and CTS series)

Codes can differ slightly between models. Your owner's manual is the final word and is available from GE support.

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.
