--- title: "Café stove showing F0 | StoveRepair.center" description: "What F0 means on Café stoves, what to check before booking, and when it is not a failure at all." url: "https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/cafe-f0/" --- # Café stove showing F0 F0 is the first of GE's keypanel codes. ## What F0 actually means. F0 is the first of GE's keypanel codes. On a Café stove the control is seeing signals from the touch pads that it cannot use, and GE says the keypanel is often the part that has to go. Café stove display What to do when F0 shows on the stove ### Kind of code Knobs, keys and display A key on the panel was held down too long, reported a press nobody made, or stopped answering; or a knob's switch told the stove it was on when it was off. Water, a spill or grease worked in behind a knob is ruled out first, then the switch, the key panel and the cable to the board. If a burner keeps heating while the keys or knobs do nothing, switch the stove off at the breaker. ### Usually leads to Knob and switch replacement Stove knobs that are cracked, loose or spin in place, and the switches behind them that leave a burner stuck on high or dead, replaced at the knob, the stem or the switch. ### Shows up as Stove Display Blank or Flashing The clock and display on the stove have gone dark, or they flash the time, a word or a string of characters and ignore the keys you press. ### Make Café A GE Appliances label that lets owners pick the knob and handle finish on their stove. ### Source GE Appliances support: oven error and function code list Café stoves with electronic oven controls. The number comes from GE Appliances' shared code list; Café manuals print only "F— and a number or letter" and send you to Café's service page. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Café's own guidance for F0 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Press Cancel/Off and let the oven sit for an hour, as Café's manual advises for any F code. 02 Cut all power to the stove for at least 30 seconds, then restore it. 03 If F0 repeats, book a visit for the keypanel. ### Still there? It usually turns into [knob and switch replacement](https://stoverepair.center/services/knob-and-switch-replacement/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do F0 does not mean the oven is broken inside. The heating parts may be fine; it is the pads on the panel that the control does not trust. ## What you may notice with it. The stove problems F0 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the stove before anyone is booked.

Press Cancel/Off and let the oven sit for an hour, as Café's manual advises for any F code. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does my Café show F0 after I cleaned the glass controls? Moisture under the edge of the keypanel can make the pads misread. Let it dry fully before resetting power. ### Does F0 on a Café mean the oven board has failed? Not on GE's list. F0 points at the keypanel, while the electronic control has its own codes, F5, F8 and FF. ### Can I still cook on the Café burners with F0? GE allows the breaker on for short burner use. The oven should wait until the keypanel is checked. --- **[Read on the site: Café stove showing F0 | StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/cafe-f0/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
