How to Fix PF Error (Step-by-Step) Understand that the ‘PF’ code indicates the dishwasher’s cycle was interrupted by a power failure. To clear the code, press the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Start/Cancel’ button on the control panel. The dishwasher will likely initiate a drain cycle that runs for one to two minutes. Wait for the drain cycle to complete and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle. Once it stops, the dishwasher is reset and ready for you to select a new wash cycle and start it as usual. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on. Check for simple blockages (lint screen, drain path, or filter) and clean anything you find.
