GE Oven Error Code PF

PF stands for Power Failure on a GE oven. It appears on the display whenever the electrical power to the oven has been interrupted and then restored. The code is a notification that the clock and any programmed cooking settings were lost during the outage. It does not indicate a broken component or malfunction within the oven.

Yes, the PF indicator does not mean the oven is unsafe to use. It is simply a notification that power was interrupted and the clock needs to be reset. The oven's heating elements and safety systems are not affected by this code. You can reset the clock and resume normal cooking immediately.

In most cases there is no repair cost at all, since PF is a notification code that clears when you reset the clock. If the PF code appears repeatedly without any known power outage, you may need an electrician to inspect the supply circuit, which could cost anywhere from $75 to $200 or more depending on the work required. Control board replacement, if ever needed for a related fault, typically ranges from $150 to $400 in parts alone.

To clear the PF code, press the CLOCK pad and then enter the current time using the number pads on the control panel. Once the clock is set, the PF indicator will disappear. If you had a timed bake or delay-start function active before the power loss, you will need to reprogram those settings as well.

Yes, resetting the clock is the correct and complete step to clear the PF code. Press the CLOCK pad, enter the correct time, and the PF message will be removed from the display. No additional resets or service procedures are needed for a standard power failure event.
