KitchenAid Range Error Code PF

PF stands for Power Failure. The control board displays this code to notify you that the range lost and then regained electrical power at some point. It is not a component fault, and the range is functioning normally. Press Cancel to clear the code and reset your clock.

Yes, you can use the range while PF is displayed, but some functions may be locked until you clear the code by pressing Cancel. PF does not indicate a component failure or a safety hazard, so continued use is fine once you acknowledge and dismiss the notification.

In most cases, fixing PF costs nothing because clearing the code with the Cancel button is the only action needed. If the code repeats due to a faulty wall outlet, outlet replacement typically runs $10 to $25 for parts plus any electrician labor. If a circuit breaker needs replacement, expect $5 to $15 for the breaker plus electrician labor. No parts on the range itself are typically involved.

Press the Cancel button to clear the PF code. After clearing it, reset the clock since power interruptions erase the time. If the code returns without a known power outage, check that the power cord is fully seated in the outlet and inspect your circuit breaker for a firm connection.

Repeated PF codes with no apparent outage usually point to an intermittent power supply issue. Check that the power cord is fully plugged into the outlet, look for any signs of a loosely seating circuit breaker, and test the wall outlet for consistent voltage. If the outlet or breaker appears faulty, an electrician should inspect and replace the affected component.
