Precautionary measures

• Verify the refrigerator is plugged in securely to the outlet and the outlet has power • Ensure both the refrigerator and freezer doors are closing completely and sealing properly • Check that temperature control settings are at recommended levels (typically 37-40°F for refrigerator, 0°F for freezer) • Allow the refrigerator to run for 4-6 hours after first installation or power restoration to stabilize • Inspect the vents inside the refrigerator compartment to ensure they are not blocked by food items or ice buildup • Verify the appliance is sitting level on the floor using a spirit level • Perform a hard reset by unplugging the refrigerator for 60 seconds, then plugging it back in, or switch off the circuit breaker for 60 seconds before turning it back on • Wait 5-10 minutes after reset to see if the error clears • Check behind and underneath the unit to ensure vents and coils are not obstructed by dust or debris • If the error code F20 persists after these checks, contact a professional appliance repair technician or appliance repair support service for diagnosis and repair
