Whirlpool Dryer PF Error Code
What it means
Whirlpool identifies PF as a power failure that interrupted the drying cycle.
Try this first
- Touch and hold START to restart the dryer cycle, or press POWER to clear the display.
- If a recent power outage occurred, turn the household dryer circuit breaker off for 1 minute.
- Restore the circuit breaker.
- Monitor the dryer for 1 minute and verify normal operation.
Can I keep using it?Clear the power-failure condition and confirm normal dryer operation.
Repair usually required?Appliance repair is not the first action for a one-time PF caused by a power interruption; investigate further if the code keeps returning without a known outage.
