# Washer error code PF

### What PF means on this make

Not a machine problem at all, and in this city it is a summer problem: a brownout during a storm, a breaker that tripped, or somebody unplugging the machine to use the socket. The washer remembers that it was mid-cycle and tells you rather than quietly starting again with a drum full of water. Restarting the cycle is the whole answer nearly every time. A PF that appears every wash without any power event is a different thing — that is the supply or the board, and it is worth investigating.

### The other ways LG prints this one

PF · E13

LG publishes a condition and then every string that can stand for it, and which one your machine shows depends on the panel it was built with — OE, E03 and E21 are one condition on a washer, and Er dS, F dS and r dS are one sensor on different evaporators. They are one page here, so whichever of them you searched for, this is the right page.

### Where this appears, and why not to clear it

On the appliance’s own display. LG reports errors two ways: machines with a digital display show a code, and the laundry machines without one blink their indicator lights instead. Both are published by the maker and both are on this site. Photograph what the panel shows before cutting the power. On a refrigerator you can also force the last code back onto the display by holding Freezer Temperature and Express Frz together for three seconds — LG documents that, and it is the one thing that makes a first visit more useful. A code that has been reset is information a technician no longer has.

### What to do about it

- Restart the cycle. That is usually all this needs.
- Check the breaker for the laundry circuit has not tripped.
- If the machine is on an extension lead or a power strip, put it straight into the wall.
- If PF appears on every cycle with no outage, book it.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 419-0291](tel:+13054190291) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
