Frigidaire Oven Error Code PF

PF stands for Power Failure on a Frigidaire oven. It indicates that the electronic control board detected an interruption in its power supply and lost its clock settings as a result. This appears any time the oven is first plugged in or after a power outage. It is an informational notification, not a fault code tied to a broken component.

The oven will not operate for cooking while PF is displayed because it is waiting for the clock to be reset. Once the clock is set and PF clears, the oven is safe to use normally. If PF returns repeatedly without any power outage, have the power supply and wiring connections inspected before continuing to use the appliance.

If PF returns repeatedly after resetting, the issue is likely related to the power supply rather than the oven itself. Common causes include an unstable household circuit, a tripped breaker that keeps resetting, or a loose connection at the range's terminal block. If the wiring and circuit check out properly, a failing control board that cannot retain its memory may be the cause and would need to be replaced.

Yes, resetting the clock is all that is needed to clear the PF code in most situations. Press the CLOCK pad, use the UP or DOWN ARROW pads to set the correct time, then press START to accept. The PF display should disappear immediately and the oven will return to normal operation.

In the vast majority of cases, there is no cost at all since PF is cleared simply by resetting the clock. If the code is caused by a wiring issue at the terminal block, repair costs can range from minimal to a service call fee of roughly $75 to $150. If a control board replacement is needed due to a recurring fault, parts and labor typically range from $200 to $400 depending on the model and service provider.
