Electrolux Refrigerator Error Code PF

PF stands for Power Failure. It means the refrigerator's control board lost power at some point and power has since been restored. The code is a notification, not a malfunction. You can clear it by pressing any button on the control panel or by consulting your model's manual for the specific reset sequence.

If PF appeared after a single power outage or breaker trip, simply acknowledge the code by pressing a control panel button to clear it, then verify the refrigerator is cooling normally. If PF keeps coming back without a known outage, check that the power cord is fully seated in the outlet, test the outlet with another device, and inspect the cord for damage. A repeatedly returning PF code points to an unstable power connection that should be addressed by an electrician or appliance technician.

In most cases, PF costs nothing to fix because it simply requires clearing the code after a power outage or tripped breaker. If the code is caused by a faulty wall outlet, an electrician visit typically runs $75 to $150. If the power cord is damaged and needs replacement, parts and labor from an appliance technician generally range from $100 to $200 depending on your location and the specific model.

Yes, the refrigerator is safe to use when PF is displayed. The unit is fully operational and the code is only alerting you that a power interruption occurred. Check the internal temperature and inspect any perishable food that may have been affected during the outage before consuming it.

The flashing High Temp Wash and Air Dry indicator lights are a secondary visual alert tied to the PF power failure notification. Both the code and the flashing lights are triggered simultaneously by the same event: the control board detecting that power was lost and restored. Clearing the PF code should also stop the lights from flashing.
