What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

A power failure interrupted the drying cycle.

A PF (Power Failure) code means a power failure has interrupted the drying cycle. It is listed for commercial-grade residential dryers, HybridCare dryers and standard dryers.

Restart the cycle

Touch and hold START to restart the dryer cycle, or press POWER to clear the display.

Why the code can show up

During a power outage the control may show PF if it saw an unexpected amount of power supply line “noise” and read it as an incorrect voltage. PF can also appear if keys were pressed before the 10-second delay on power-up ended.

After a recent outage

Turn off the household circuit breaker for the dryer for one minute, switch it back on, and monitor the dryer for one minute to make sure the code does not come back. Then verify that the dryer works normally. For a dryer installed within roughly the last 3 months, a qualified electrician should verify the electrical supply.

Related codes

  • L2 points to the home power supply keeping the heater off.
  • FE is a power source problem.
  • LF is the HybridCare filter code.
