How to Fix PF Error

This code means ‘Power Failure’. The washing cycle was interrupted by a loss of electrical power.
Check if other appliances in your home have power. If not, you have a power outage.
If the rest of the house has power, check your home’s circuit breaker box. The washer’s breaker may have tripped. Reset it by flipping it fully OFF, then back ON.
Once power is restored, you can restart the cycle by pressing the ‘Start’ button.

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