Error Code: PF Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Power Failure
How to Fix PF Error (Step-by-Step)
- This code indicates the washer lost power during a cycle. First, check that the power cord is still firmly plugged into the wall outlet.
- Go to your home’s circuit breaker panel and find the breaker that controls the laundry room. If it has tripped, it will be in the middle position. Flip it completely off and then back on to reset it.
- To confirm the outlet has power, try plugging in a small appliance you know works, like a phone charger or a lamp.
- If the outlet is working, the ‘PF’ code is just an alert. You can resume the interrupted cycle by pressing and holding the ‘Start’ button for a few seconds.
- If you prefer to begin a new wash, press the ‘Cancel’ or ‘Power’ button to clear the cycle, then make your new selection.
- 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.
Still Not Working?
If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
When It’s Better to Replace Than Repair
Sometimes replacing an appliance makes more financial sense than putting more money into repairs.
Here are a few signs it may be time to shop for a new one:
- ✓Appliance over 8-10 years old
- ✓Repair cost over 50% of replacement
- ✓Multiple recent breakdowns
- ✓Major component failure
