GE Dishwasher PF Error Code

Power failure. Here is what it means and how to clear it, easiest fix first.

How to fix GE PF

1. Restart the cycle

   Select your cycle and options again, then press Start.

2. Check the breaker

   If the dishwasher is dead or keeps losing power, check whether its breaker has tripped. Reset it once; if it trips again, leave it off and call an electrician.

When to call a technician

If PF appears often without outages, have an electrician check the circuit.

Frequently asked questions

What does PF mean on a GE dishwasher?

The dishwasher lost power during a cycle.

Can I fix GE PF myself?

Usually, yes. Most PF problems clear with simple checks you can do at home. Start with the first step above: restart the cycle.

What if PF keeps coming back?

A code that returns after a reset and the checks above usually means a part is wearing out. Note when PF appears (which cycle, how often) and have your model number ready; it helps a technician bring the right part on the first visit.
