KitchenAid Range PF / PF id=27 / PF id=30 Error Code

PF, PF id=27, and PF id=30 are power-failure messages. KitchenAid says Cancel clears the display, and some models then require the time-of-day clock to be reset.

Applies to KitchenAid range or wall oven using the documented display family

What the appliance detected

Detected condition

The cooking appliance detected a power failure.

What may contribute

Possible causes

  • A household power failure or interruption affected the appliance.
  • A brief supply interruption may have reset the control.

Start conservatively

Safe preliminary checks

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

  1. Confirm the event

    • Record the exact PF message and model number.
    • Check whether the home recently lost power or the appliance breaker was switched off.

  2. Clear the display normally

    • Press Cancel as KitchenAid documents.
    • If the clock needs attention, follow the exact owner manual rather than guessing button combinations.

  3. Escalate unexplained repeats

    • If PF returns without a known outage, or the breaker trips, stop repeated resets and request qualified help.
    • Do not continue using the appliance if power appears unstable.

Actions not recommended

  • Do not open panels or household wiring to investigate a PF message.
  • Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker.
  • Do not assume PF proves the control board has failed.

When to stop and request service

  • PF returns without a known power event.
  • The breaker trips, power is unstable, or the appliance will not resume normal operation.
  • Any smoke, sparking, burning odor, gas odor, or uncontrolled heating is present.
