Electrolux Wall Oven Code PF: Power Failure

Low risk · DIY check OK

Code: PF
Appliance: Wall Oven
Brand: Electrolux
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What PF means

PF means the older Electrolux wall oven lost power and has come back on. The timer flashes PF when power returns after an outage, a tripped breaker or a brief interruption. On the older 4-code control, the PF screen is also used to reveal the exact code when the oven has stopped on a problem, so it is worth noting any other code that appears. Press a key to clear it and set the clock again. These are older ovens still in many Houston homes, and we repair them.

Common causes of PF

Household power outage or a flicker
Tripped or loose breaker
Control that restarts on its own

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press a key to clear PF. 2. Set the clock again, then start your cooking as usual. 3. If another F code appears on the display, write it down. 4. If PF keeps appearing with no outage, check that the oven's breaker is on firmly, and call us if it persists.

! Why to stop there

PF by itself is just a power event, but if it repeats without an outage, we look for a loose connection or a control that is restarting.
We check the supply to the oven and the connections at the terminal block.
If a repair is needed, you approve the written quote first, and we tell you honestly when an old oven is not worth the money.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

PFPF questions

Is PF a problem with the oven?

Usually not. It is a reminder that power was interrupted, and the clock needs to be set again. We only get involved if it keeps showing up without any outage, or if another code appears with it.

Why does PF keep showing up?

Repeated PF without an outage points to a loose connection or a control that is restarting. We look at both. A short visit usually settles which one it is.

Can PF show another code?

On the older 4-code control, yes. The PF screen is also used to bring up the exact code, so tell us whatever else you see.
