    Thanks for Posting! I had the F0 Code, cleaned the sensor and housing twice, got it very clean, worked for about an hour. F0 code again. I called Frigidaire. They were GREAT! ( like Frosted Flakes). They said it was a major failure and I qualified for a free replacement. Mailed in the paperwork today. They said it should arrive pretty soon. Thank You so much for posting Brother! And A sincere Thank You to Frigidaire for standing behind their products!

    I came to KZread looking for troubleshooting help with an F0 fault and my dehumidifier was three years old. I never would have thought that Frigidaire would have a 5 year warranty on a $200 product. Due to your video, I did I a quick chat with Frigidaire and have received a replacement unit. Thanks for your video and to Frigidaire for standing behind their product.

    Thanks for this very helpful, and well made, video. When I got the infamous F0 error code on my three year old unit I was sure I was going to have to purchase a new dehumidifier. I called Frigidaire/Elecrtrolux and got a service rep the first time. Took about 20 minutes, and they sent the paperwork as you described. I put it together and emailed it back in an hour and the replacement was on its way. Shipping took only four days! The replacement has a top outlet rather than side, but it may work just fine. We'll see. Happy camper! BTW: If anybody needs to know what to do with their old unit (it has freon in it so it's hazardous waste), I contacted my HVAC service contractor and they took it off my hands for free. They deal with A/C systems all the time. :-)

    Thanks for posting this. This helped A LOT. I will note that the chat feature on website does not work anymore and emailing them is not a worthy way of doing anything productive. I have spent the last few weeks calling into customer service only to be repeatedly hung up on or not even allowed to be placed in the waiting que. Your video gave me the language that I needed to use once I finally got through to a human being. I simply told them that "I had an F0 error that is a breakdown of the 'Sealed' system and that it is covered by the 5 year warranty as noted in the user manual. I need you to send me the document to fill out and sign to get a replacement sent to me." After I said that...there was no issue at all. The customer service agent took some info and them emailed me the pdf that outlined the steps that you described here. Thanks again!

Thank you very much for setting up this informative video; the replacement process played out exactly as you described it. (The Electrolux/Frigidaire chat feature was no longer working so I used the "Contact us" email option, and the reply was within a few days.)

    My dehumidifier was 4 1/2 years old. Have been trying to get it to work (even during the 15 minutes it took for the "F0" error code to appear, it wasn't working properly, almost certainly from a condenser leak). I was searching for any possible way to get it to work, and stumbled upon your video. I had emailed Electrolux/Frigidaire several months ago, with no response, and was at the point of buying a new unit. Three days ago (May 11, 2021) I contacted them via chat as you suggest. As in your case, a few minutes later I was done. After I completed their requirements and emailing it all, I received an email response within 2 hours telling me to expect a replacement unit within 10 working days. Wow. How often does something work out this well??? Thanks for saving me $200+ bucks! You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman!

    I had this code and followed this. It worked for about 30 mins and the had the code again. I ended up taking a shop vac and besides ensuring everything inside was clean, i placed the shop vac hose over the small sensor located towards the top of the back (little white sensor). This appears to have resolved the issue as it has been running for a few days without issue. Recommendation: if cleaning this small air sensor, vacuum it out versus just wiping it down.

    I have a couple of 50 pint Frigidaire dehumidifiers, one that's several years older and slightly different design that's still going strong. I also have one that's in the same series as your 70 pint that's started throwing an F0 code. I tried the other recommended fixes with no success, so I'll be chatting with Frigidaire this week in hopes of some help. Thanks the effort in posting an excellent, informative, detailed video that includes real-world product application over time.

    I've went thru 5, yes 5 of the Frigidaire 30 pint models. After a year I got the FO fault. The company replaced 4 of them and it was obvious the compressor unit failed on them all. Now I'm on my 5th one and it too failed, but now after 2 years. Same problem compressor unit failure. These things are junk but at least the company stands behind their product. I've had other makes and models of dehumidifiers in the past some that lasted 20 years! I'm amazed that Frigidaire can make money on a product so poorly made that it needs repeated replacement.

    HAAAA! As promised, this is a follow up comment. After 4 attempts using the chat I was told it was only for US citizen (even if I accessed it from the Canadian website??). I was given a phone number, called 6 times. They had problems with the files access and their phone system all that time. Had to go through the process twice because my infos were lost and no ticket was found for me. Finally, I received an email for return. Was told I would be reimbursed but with no taxes. Was sent a digital MC number. It did not work. Had to reach them again (now 10 times) to make it work. Was told it was for security reason. Try to use it on Amazon for product did not work but it did word for Amazon refill card..?? So I went with this and was able redeem it this weekend. So thanks for your post otherwise I would never have thought I could be reimbursed for an item purchased 2 years ago. If you are in the same situation, hang in there, be persistent and you will get compensated eventually. tx ☮

An important oversight on my part was that the Chat button is way over on the right of the webpage. I kept trying to click on the words that say "Chat" in the area that describes chatting for support. I am very frustrated with this company. I agree with the author of this video that the old unit is much better, except it doesnt work.

    I had a near identical situation with the same two units. I was very happy with the old one. It lasted nearly 5 years. Fortunately it flashed the FO error code just 2 weeks before the 5 year mark. That was dumb luck. I used the recommended procedure and got a free replacement. Likewise I hated the fan opening on top. What a brainstorm. And sure enough, the unit failed with an EC error code after less than 6 months. I managed to get that one replaced. Now the replacement has failed with the EC code after barely 4 months.

Frigidaire replaced my first and the replacement later failed with F0. My daughter-in-law gave me hers, which she never even took out of the box, and that Frigidaire (same model as yours and mine) just failed with a F0 error code. I definitely would not buy a Frigidaire dehumidifier again.

    I suspect that those units were built in two different places. I spent 30 years in the plastics industry and I see exactly the difference in quality. When you receive black injection molded plastic anything, the odds are pretty good that the plastic itself was used form excess plastic or scraps and reground to be used over. Thirty years ago, there was a Frigidaire plant about 20 minutes from here in Edison, NJ. I used to work there sometimes as an outside contractor. Now it's a Costco and other shops. Got taken down about 15 years ago.

    Hi - I am on my second unit. I purchased unit in 2018 -- installed Nov 2018. I had a replacement unit for F0 code sent to me sometime in 2019. I am not getting F0 code on the replacement unit. At this point, I don't think i'd ever buy a frigidaire unit again!

    Thanks for the video. I've lost count of how many Frigidaire dehumidifiers I've replaced either under warranty or recall over the last 10 years. I'd guess it's at least six. It's a disgrace, and I can't understand why they haven't fixed these F0 issues by now. Is this really good business? One thing I know for sure, I will avoid every buying a Frigidaire/Electrolux unit in the future. But as long as they keep sending me replacements, I may not have to! BTW, your cellar looks pretty pristine compared to mine. These units have bigger problems than dirt!

    I feel i need to warn you that your replacement is just like the one I purchased in July of 2020. I almost got hot enough to start on fire just the other day, so I unplugged it and waited until the next day and plugged it back in and it came on instantly without pushing the start button. It also made a strange noise and started to get hot again. I called Frigidaire and they said they would replace it, but I needed my receipt. I'm still looking for it. So, please keep an eye on yours.

    2022 update. The chat with Fridgedaire is very easy and simple,thanks to this video,but they did not say to cut the cord this year, but to keep it intact, until I hear more. They are not replacing the 70 pint with a 70 pint, they claim because of new energy standards. I had to agree to a 50 pint unit. Also, the replacement will only be warranted for 90 days or through the end of the old one’s warrantee.

    Wow, thanks for this info. I have TWO units, identical to your original one. Both, are showing the F0 error within 3 years. One has an extended warranty, while the other one doesn't. I'll contact Fridgidaire online and see what happens. It's a shame all of these units fail after 2-3 years. My previous unit was a Sears that ran flawlessly for nearly 20 years, until it rusted out and the controls ceased to function. Could you recommend a different brand? If not, thanks for the very helpful review.

    Very helpful. I have the exact same unit and only just today experienced the F0 code just prior to the 5 year warrantee expiration. I had purchased the unit in 2017 after extensive research, and really liked the unit, sharing many of this owner's perspectives on it. It is 2022, and hope to have a positive experience with Frigidaire, as this owner did. Hopefully they still maintain a free replacement policy , but I hope also that they do not send me an inferior unit, as they seem to have done with this owner.

    This thing is junk. It died about a year after I got it. The point I was trying to drive home in the video is that this product is lesser quality than the previous two I had which both died as well. I'm a bit frustrated because these things are all pretty much the same inferior pieces of junk regardless of brand and are nowhere near the quality of the unit I had that lasted 25 years.

    @@SevenFortyOne I figured out what I needed. The top is clipped onto the sides. I used a flat screwdriver and got the top to unclip and then everything came apart. Mine seems to be low on coolant. Compressor is running, but eventually overheats. The cold coils don't get cold across the length, but rather ice up right where they start. Support said no recall for me 😞. My unit is 50 pint and looks just like the replacement one you got. I might get a recharge kit so I can recharge it.
