Jamie,
You may have a freezer fan that is bad.
Does the fan run or spin in the freezer?
Does the compressor run at all?
If so, you most likely have a faulty freezer fan… AKA = Evaporator Fan

Thank you for your reply.
And you are right, the H code stayed for 1-2 hours and switched back to F0 12. Now there’s no cool air coming from the freezer, it’s like a cupboard now. The upper part also seems to heat up too (I could see the water bottles sweating).
What should I do now?
Jamie,
How long have you had your Hitachi Refrigerator plugged back in and seeing the H code?
Make sure the fridge is plugged in for at least 12 to 24 hours with the temp settings cold as possible.
This will give the refrigerator time to get to temp.
The H means it is warm, so just give it time to get to the proper temperature and the H code should go away.
If the F0 12 error code comes back after the fridge gets to temp, let us know and we will assist further.

I have a Hitachi refrigerator model R-S38MPAM. The other day it displayed the F0 12 error code and everything was melting down, so I unplugged it and cleaned. But after I plugged it back, the screen displayed “H” at the freezer temperature place and the freezer doesn’t seem to be working at all, the upper part seems to be working fine. Please help!!
How can I fix the f0 and f12 error code on Hitachi.
