Jenn-Air Dishwasher Error Code PF

PF stands for Power Failure. It indicates that the dishwasher's control board detected an interruption in electrical power lasting longer than approximately 5 seconds. The code blinks in the display after power is restored and will continue blinking until you press any cycle or options pad or unlatch the door. It is an informational alert, not a component fault.

You do not need to perform a full reset to clear the PF code. Pressing any cycle or options button or opening the door latch is all that is required to dismiss the indicator. If you choose to cycle power at the breaker, the PF code will reappear when power is restored and will still need to be acknowledged at the control panel.

In most cases there is no repair cost at all, since the PF code only requires pressing a button to clear it after a power outage. If the repeated appearance of the code points to an electrical supply issue such as a faulty breaker or loose wiring, electrician service costs typically range from $75 to $250 depending on the scope of the work needed.

To clear the PF code, simply press any cycle or options pad on the control panel, or unlatch the door. Either action acknowledges the power interruption and clears the display. If the code returns frequently without a known power outage, inspect the dishwasher's electrical supply circuit for loose connections or a failing breaker.

The PF code itself is not a safety concern. It is purely informational and indicates that a power interruption occurred. However, if the code appears repeatedly without any obvious outage, the underlying cause could be a failing circuit breaker or loose wiring, which should be inspected by a qualified electrician for safety reasons.
