What the PF error code actually means

PF on your Electrolux range simply means the appliance lost power at some point, either because it was just plugged in or because there was a power outage. The range is reminding you to reset the clock. Once you set the clock, the PF message will go away and the range will work normally.

Questions people ask about PF

What does PF mean on a Electrolux range?
PF stands for power failure on an Electrolux range. It is an informational indicator that appears whenever the appliance loses power and then regains it, including when the range is first plugged in. It is not an error or fault code, and it does not indicate anything is broken. Setting the clock will clear the display.
Is it safe to use my Electrolux range when it shows PF?
Yes, it is safe to use the range while PF is displayed. The code only indicates that the clock has been reset due to a power interruption. Basic cooking functions are not affected, though any pre-programmed timed bake or delay start settings will need to be re-entered after you set the clock.
How much does it cost to fix a PF code on an Electrolux range?
In most cases, fixing a PF code costs nothing because it simply requires setting the clock after a power interruption. If the code is caused by a faulty power cord or a wiring issue at the terminal block, repair costs could range from a small amount for a replacement cord to higher costs if a technician is needed for diagnosis and wiring repair.
How do I clear the PF code on my Electrolux range?
To clear the PF code, simply set the clock using the clock or time-of-day button on the control panel. Once a valid time is entered and confirmed, the PF indicator will disappear and the range will return to normal operation. No reset button or service procedure is required.
Will resetting the clock permanently clear the PF code?
Setting the clock will clear the current PF display. However, if the range experiences another power interruption in the future, PF will appear again. This is normal behavior. If PF appears repeatedly without an obvious outage, inspect the power cord connection and check the circuit breaker for any intermittent issues.
