Frigidaire Washer Error Code PF: How to Fix It

Q: Will the PF error code clear itself?

Usually, unplugging the washer for 60 seconds and plugging it back in clears the PF error. If the power failure was brief and no hardware damage occurred, it should reset and run normally.

Q: Can a power surge cause the PF error?

Yes, a power surge or outage can trigger the PF error. The washer's control board detects the interruption and displays the code. A surge protector can help prevent future occurrences.

Q: Is the PF error serious?

No, it's usually not serious. It's a notification that power was lost mid-cycle. However, if it happens frequently, there may be an electrical issue in your home or with the washer's components.

Q: Can I still use the washer with the PF error?

The washer will not continue a cycle with the PF error displayed. You need to clear the code (by resetting) before starting a new cycle.

Q: How do I prevent the PF error?

Use a surge protector or a dedicated circuit for the washer. Avoid using the washer during thunderstorms or when power outages are common.
