How to Fix PF Error (Step-by-Step)

First, check that the dishwasher’s power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet.
Go to your home’s electrical panel and check if the circuit breaker for the dishwasher has tripped. If it has, flip it completely off and then back on.
If you have a fuse box, check for a blown fuse and replace it if necessary.
Ensure the dishwasher door is fully closed and latched shut. The dishwasher will not start if the door is ajar.
Press the ‘Start/Resume’ button to begin a new cycle.
If the power failure was brief, the dishwasher might resume its cycle automatically after a few minutes.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.

Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
