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.

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