Crosley Washer Error Code PF

PF stands for Power Failure. It means the washer detected that electrical power was cut off while a wash cycle was in progress. The code is stored in the control board's memory and displayed at the next startup. On a new machine, it can appear due to factory testing and is not a cause for concern.

Yes, in most cases pressing the Cancel or Start button will clear the PF code from the display. Because PF records an external power event rather than an internal component fault, a simple reset is typically all that is needed. If the underlying cause of the power loss is not addressed, the code will return the next time power is interrupted.

In most situations, the PF code requires no parts or repair costs at all, since it typically results from an external power event. If an electrician is needed to inspect or repair a faulty outlet or wiring, expect service call fees in the range of $75 to $200 or more depending on your location and the extent of the work. The washer's internal components are generally not involved when PF is the only code displayed.

Start by checking your home's circuit breaker panel for any tripped breakers and reset them if needed. Confirm the power cord is firmly plugged into a working outlet. Once power is stable, press Cancel or Start to clear the code and restart your cycle. If the code keeps returning, investigate whether the outlet or home wiring may be causing intermittent power loss.

The PF code itself does not indicate a dangerous condition inside the washer. However, if the power loss was caused by a repeatedly tripping breaker or a damaged outlet, those electrical issues should be inspected by a qualified electrician before continued use. A healthy, dedicated circuit is important for safe washer operation.
