What the PF error code actually means

The PF code means your Frigidaire range lost power at some point, either during a blackout, a tripped breaker, or even a brief flicker in your home's electricity. The range is simply letting you know it needs you to reset the clock and any cooking settings. Once you set the clock again, the code clears and everything works normally.

Questions people ask about PF

What does PF mean on a Frigidaire range?
PF stands for Power Failure on a Frigidaire range. It appears when the range has experienced an interruption to its electrical supply, which causes the control board to lose its clock and oven settings. The code is a notification, not a fault, and it clears once you reset the clock and any oven functions.
Is it safe to use my Frigidaire range when it shows PF?
Yes, it is safe to use the range after a PF code appears, provided power has been fully restored and the range is functioning normally. The PF code simply means the clock and settings were cleared during a power interruption. Reset the clock and verify that oven and burner functions respond correctly before resuming cooking.
How much does it cost to fix a PF code on a Frigidaire range?
In most cases, fixing a PF code costs nothing because it only requires resetting the clock after a power interruption. If the code is caused by a faulty wall receptacle, an electrician's repair typically runs in the range of $100 to $300 depending on local labor rates and parts. Control board replacement, which is rarely needed for this code, can cost between $150 and $400 or more for parts and labor.
How do I clear the PF code on my Frigidaire range?
To clear the PF code, simply reset the clock using the clock or timer button on the control panel, following the steps in your range's use and care guide. After the correct time is entered, the PF display will stop flashing and the range will return to normal operation. If the code reappears frequently without a known outage, check the circuit breaker and the wall receptacle connection.
Will resetting the clock clear the PF code on a Frigidaire range?
Yes, resetting the clock is the correct step to clear the PF code. Once you enter the current time through the control panel, the PF notification clears automatically. No additional reset procedure or service call is needed after a standard power interruption.
