Error codeF0
ApplianceRange
The same F0 display carries two different messages, depending on which Kenmore range you own.
Compare the two series
Range
What F0 stands for
Kenmore 362 model freestanding
A defective electronic control board
Kenmore 665 model
The default F code; nothing has failed
362 model
The chart lists F0 along with F1. Pull the plug for 3 minutes so the control board resets, then restore power. If F0 shows up again, the electronic control board is the part to replace.
665 model
This display simply means there are no earlier fault codes. It appears when Cancel is held down for 5 seconds, and pressing Cancel clears it.
If a 362 model keeps showing F0 after the reset, a technician visit is the next step. Call (415) 825-6393 from San Francisco or the Bay Area and give the model number, so we know which series it is, and the result of the 3-minute reset. The Kenmore range repair page has more.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F0 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
On the 362 range F0 is a defective electronic control board; on the 665 range it is the default F code and no failure.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
