Dacor Range, Oven, Cooktop Error Code PF

The PF code on a Dacor Millennia Dishwasher stands for power failure. It indicates that the appliance detected an interruption in its electrical supply during a cycle. The code is stored by the control board and displayed when power is restored so the user knows the previous cycle did not complete.

Yes, a control panel reset will typically clear the PF code since it is a notification of a past event rather than an ongoing fault. Press the cancel or reset button to acknowledge the code. If the underlying cause was a one-time power interruption, the appliance should operate normally after the reset.

If the PF code is caused by a simple power interruption, there is no repair cost involved. If an outlet or power cord needs replacement, expect to spend roughly $20 to $100 for parts and labor. A control board replacement, which is needed only in persistent cases with no external power cause, typically runs between $150 and $400 depending on parts availability and labor rates in your area.

In most cases, you can clear the PF code by pressing the cancel or reset button on the control panel, then restarting your wash cycle. If the code returns without any known power outage, check your circuit breaker, inspect the power cord and outlet, and tighten any loose wiring connections at the terminal block.

The PF code itself does not indicate a dangerous condition. It simply means the machine lost power before finishing its cycle. However, if you notice signs of electrical problems such as a burning smell, a warm outlet, or a repeatedly tripping breaker, those issues should be addressed by a qualified technician before continuing to use the appliance.
