⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: PF Difficulty: Moderate
Problem: A power failure has occurred, interrupting the drying cycle.
How to Fix PF Error (Step-by-Step)
- The ‘PF’ code simply indicates the dryer cycle was interrupted by a power failure. Press the ‘Start’ button to clear the code and resume the cycle.
- If there was no known power outage and the code appears, unplug the dryer from the wall outlet.
- Wait for at least 10 minutes to allow the internal electronics to fully discharge and reset.
- While unplugged, inspect the power cord for any signs of damage or a loose connection at the terminal block on the back of the dryer.
- Plug the dryer securely back into the outlet and attempt to start a new cycle.
- If the code persists or the dryer behaves erratically, a power surge may have damaged the main electronic control board, which will require professional diagnosis and replacement.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
