Possible Causes
Household power outage or breaker trip, Loose power connection at junction box, Faulty door switch causing intermittent power loss
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off power at the breaker before opening the junction box cover.
- 1. Confirm household power: Check that other appliances and lights on the same circuit are working. Reset the breaker if tripped.
- 2. Inspect junction box: Remove the toe-kick panel and open the dishwasher’s junction box. Verify wire nuts are tight and no wires are burnt.
- 3. Check door latch switch: Ensure the door closes firmly and the latch engages. A failing door switch can mimic a power loss.
- 4. Restart cycle: Clear the PF code by pressing Start or canceling and restarting the cycle.
If PF recurs frequently without household power issues, have a technician inspect the wiring and control board.
