How to Fix POWER FAILURE / PF Error (Step-by-Step)

- Open the refrigerator and freezer doors and check the condition of your food. Look for signs of thawing or spoilage.
- Verify that the refrigerator is now running and that you can hear the compressor and fans operating.
- Check that the interior lights turn on when you open the doors, which confirms that power has been restored.
- If the power was out for an extended period, monitor the refrigerator’s temperature over the next several hours to ensure it is returning to the set temperature.
- Make sure the circuit breaker connected to the refrigerator has not tripped and is in the ‘ON’ position.
