LG Washer PF Error Code

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

PF
Easy DIY fix

PF means the power went out or flickered during a cycle. It isn't a fault in the washer itself.

Shown on front-load, top-load and wash tower models.

Safety first: unplug the washer (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

  1. Restart the cycle

    Press Start/Pause to resume, or pick the cycle again and start it.

  2. Check the power supply

    If the code keeps returning, make sure the plug is fully seated in the outlet and that the breaker hasn't tripped. Avoid using extension cords.

When to call a technician

If PF keeps returning without a real outage, turn off the faucets, unplug the washer and contact LG service. If other things on the same circuit also lose power, have an electrician check the outlet and circuit.

Frequently asked questions

What does PF mean on a LG washer?

PF means the power went out or flickered during a cycle. It isn't a fault in the washer itself.

Can I fix LG 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.
