Amana Dishwasher Error Code PF

PF stands for Power Failure on an Amana dishwasher. It means the control board detected that household power was interrupted for more than approximately 5 seconds. The code is informational, not a component fault. Press any cycle or options pad, or unlatch the door, to clear it.

Yes. Pressing any cycle or options pad is all that is needed to clear PF from the display. You do not need to perform a full control board reset or disconnect power again. If the code returns repeatedly without a known power outage, check your circuit breaker and outlet connection for issues.

In most cases, there is no repair cost at all since PF clears with a simple button press after a power outage. If the code is caused by a faulty control board that misreads voltage, board replacement parts typically range from $80 to $200 or more depending on the model, plus any applicable labor costs.

To clear the PF code, simply press any cycle or options button on the control panel, or open the door latch. The display will return to normal standby mode. If a cycle was running when the power went out, you will need to select and start a new cycle manually.

Yes, PF does not indicate any hazard or component failure. The dishwasher is simply waiting for user acknowledgment after a power interruption. Once you clear the code by pressing a button or opening the door latch, the appliance is ready for normal use.
