KitchenAid Range Error Code PF id=30

PF id=30 is a Power Failure notification displayed on certain KitchenAid range models after the appliance detects an interruption in its AC power supply. The "id=30" portion is a model-specific firmware variant of the standard PF display. It means the range lost power at some point and the clock needs to be reset. The code does not indicate a malfunction within the range itself.

Yes, the PF code itself does not indicate a safety hazard or a damaged component. The range is alerting you that power was interrupted and the clock has been reset. You can use the range normally after clearing the code and resetting the clock. If the code returns repeatedly with no known power outages, investigate the wall receptacle and circuit breaker before continued use.

In most cases there is no repair cost at all, since PF simply requires clearing the display and resetting the clock after a power outage. If the code is caused by a faulty wall receptacle, electrician repair costs typically range from $75 to $200 depending on your location. If a control board replacement is ultimately needed, parts and labor can range from $150 to $400 or more depending on the specific model.

To clear the PF code, follow the display reset procedure outlined in the Displays section of your model's documentation, then reset the clock to the correct time. On most KitchenAid models this involves pressing the Clock or Settings button and entering the current time. Once the clock is set, the PF notification should be cleared from the display.

Yes, clearing the display per the control panel instructions and resetting the clock will resolve the PF code in the vast majority of cases. If the code reappears after a reset without any actual power outage occurring, the issue may be with the power supply to the range rather than the range itself, and further electrical inspection is recommended.
