aaron,
The Hitachi refrigerator displaying FO with the 07 behind it it MAY mean a refrigerator fan error.
Usually FO errors are with the refrigerator section and F3 error codes are for the freezer section but it may depend on the model number of your fridge.
Can you recheck the model number as it does not come up in our database.
Please let us know the correct model number and we can assist further.

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
