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

  1. Acknowledge the alert by pressing any button on the control panel. This will clear the ‘PF’ code from the display.
  2. Open the refrigerator and freezer doors and check the condition of your food. Look for signs of thawing or spoilage.
  3. Verify that the refrigerator is now running and that you can hear the compressor and fans operating.
  4. Check that the interior lights turn on when you open the doors, which confirms that power has been restored.
  5. 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.
  6. Make sure the circuit breaker connected to the refrigerator has not tripped and is in the ‘ON’ position.
  7. Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
