Whirlpool Washer Error Code PF

PF stands for Power Failure. It indicates that the washer's control board detected an interruption in power while a cycle was running. The code appears after power is restored so the user can choose to resume or cancel the interrupted cycle. It does not indicate a problem with any internal washer component.

Yes. Pressing POWER will clear the PF code from the display and reset the control board. Pressing START will also clear the code by resuming the cycle. Because PF is an informational notification rather than a component fault, no deeper reset procedure is needed.

In the vast majority of cases, a PF code requires no parts or repair at all, making the cost zero. If the underlying cause turns out to be a faulty wall outlet or wiring issue, an electrician's service call typically runs in the range of $75 to $200 depending on the work required. Replacing a damaged power cord, if that is the cause, generally costs $15 to $40 for the part.

Press START to continue the cycle from where it was interrupted, or press POWER to clear the display and cancel the cycle. If the code keeps appearing without any known power outages, check your circuit breaker, verify the power cord is fully seated, and inspect the wall outlet for loose connections or damage.

Yes, it is safe to continue using the washer after a PF code. The code does not indicate any internal damage or hazardous condition. It is simply a record of a power interruption. If the code appears frequently, investigate the power supply to the machine before continuing regular use.
