Amana Dryer Error Code PF

PF stands for Power Failure on an Amana dryer. It means the dryer detected that electrical power was interrupted while a drying cycle was in progress. The code is informational and does not indicate a broken component. Pressing Start will resume the cycle, or pressing Stop will clear the display.

Yes, a PF code on its own does not indicate a safety hazard or a component failure within the dryer. However, if PF appears repeatedly without a known power outage, you should inspect the power cord, outlet, and circuit breaker before continuing regular use to rule out an underlying electrical issue.

If the cause is simply a tripped breaker or a loose power cord, there is no cost beyond your time. Replacing a faulty 240V wall outlet typically runs in the range of $75 to $200 including labor, depending on your location and electrician rates. If the power cord itself needs replacement, parts and labor generally fall in the $50 to $150 range.

Yes. Pressing the Stop button will clear the PF code from the display immediately. Alternatively, pressing Start will also clear the code and resume the interrupted cycle. You do not need to unplug the dryer or perform any special reset procedure.

Start by pressing Start to resume the cycle or Stop to clear the code. If PF keeps coming back, check your home's breaker panel for a tripped breaker, confirm the power cord is firmly seated at both the outlet and the terminal block, and test the wall outlet for proper voltage. If the outlet or wiring is found to be faulty, those components will need to be repaired or replaced.
