Frigidaire Dishwasher PF Error Code

Frigidaire says PF indicates the dishwasher lost power and can be cleared with START/CANCEL so a new cycle can be started.

Applies to Frigidaire dishwasher

What the appliance detected

Detected condition

The dishwasher reports a loss of power.

What may contribute

Possible causes

  • Power to the dishwasher may have been interrupted.
  • A breaker, fuse, outlet, or household power event may have affected the appliance.

Start conservatively

Safe preliminary checks

Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.

  1. Record the display and model

    • Photograph or write down the exact code or message before clearing it.
    • Confirm the full model number and Frigidaire owner manual before taking model-specific action.

  2. Use only documented external checks

    • Press START/CANCEL as Frigidaire documents to clear the message.
    • If there was a recent outage, confirm household power is stable before restarting.
    • Check only normal power access such as a breaker or plug if safely accessible.

  3. Stop before internal work

    • If the code remains after documented checks, request support or service.
    • Do not remove panels, bypass latches, or access wiring, pumps, heaters, controls, or internal components.

Actions not recommended

  • Do not reach into wet areas while power is connected.
  • Do not open electrical, pump, heater, latch, or control areas.
  • Do not replace parts based only on the displayed code or message.

When to stop and request service

  • PF returns repeatedly without an obvious household power interruption.
  • The dishwasher has no power after safe breaker or plug checks.
  • Electrical diagnosis beyond normal homeowner access would be needed.
