KitchenAid Range Error Code PF id=27

PF stands for Power Failure. The id=27 variant appears on certain KitchenAid range models to indicate that the electronic control board detected an interruption in incoming electrical power. It is a notification code, not a fault indicating a broken component. Clearing the display and resetting the clock is all that is typically needed.

Yes, the range is safe to use once you have cleared the PF code and confirmed that all burners and oven functions are operating normally. The code itself only indicates a past power interruption and does not signal a hazardous condition inside the appliance. If you notice any scorching, burning smells, or tripped breakers, inspect the power supply wiring before using the range.

If the PF code is caused by a loose terminal block connection, the repair cost is minimal, typically covering a service call fee in the range of $75 to $150. If a control board replacement is needed, parts and labor combined generally run between $200 and $450 depending on the model and local labor rates. In many cases the code resolves without any parts cost at all, since a one-time outage requires no repair.

Press the Cancel or Clear button on the control panel to dismiss the PF notification, following the steps in the Displays section of your model's documentation. After clearing the code, reset the clock to the current time. If the range was in the middle of a cooking cycle when power was lost, you will need to restart that cycle manually.

Clearing the display will remove the PF code, and it will not return unless another power interruption occurs. If the code keeps coming back without an obvious outage, check the circuit breaker, the terminal block connections, and the stability of the household electrical supply, as repeated codes suggest an underlying power delivery issue rather than a one-time event.
