⚠️ Safety Warning: Appliance repair involves electricity, gas, and moving parts. Always disconnect power before working on any appliance.
Error Code: PF Difficulty: Easy
Problem: Power Failure. Indicates the unit has lost and regained power.
How to Fix PF Error (Step-by-Step)
- This code indicates a recent power outage, not a part failure. First, check the food in the refrigerator and freezer for signs of spoilage.
- Press any button on the control panel, or look for a specific ‘Alarm Reset’ or ‘OK’ button, to acknowledge the alert and clear the code from the display.
- Verify that the refrigerator is plugged securely into a working outlet.
- Check your home’s circuit breaker box to ensure the breaker for the refrigerator has not tripped.
- Allow the refrigerator several hours to return to its set temperatures. Monitor the display to confirm it is cooling correctly.
- 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.
Most DIY parts are $50–$250. If you have a quote, use the total.
