LG Dryer PF Error Code

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

Easy DIY fix

The dryer lost power during a cycle, most often from a power outage or a brief flicker. It is usually not a fault in the dryer.

Safety first: unplug the dryer (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix LG PF

Reset the controls
Unplug the dryer or switch off its breaker. While it has no power, press and hold Start/Pause for 5 seconds. Restore power and start the cycle again.
Check the supply
Make sure the plug is fully seated and nothing else is tripping the dryer's breaker.

When to call a technician

If PF keeps appearing without any power cuts, have an electrician check the outlet and circuit, then book a dryer repair if the supply is fine.
