How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure hands are dry when handling plugs.
Steps:
- Reset after outage: Press the power button to clear PF and restart the unit. Many Frigidaire models require manual restart after power loss.
- Check outlet: Plug a lamp or other device into the same outlet to confirm stable power. Avoid using long extension cords or overloaded power strips.
- Inspect power cord: Check the Frigidaire power cord for cuts, burns, or loose prongs. Replace the cord set if damaged.
- Dedicated circuit: If PF recurs frequently, move the unit to a dedicated circuit to avoid voltage drops.
- Internal issue: Persistent PF with stable house power may indicate a failing control board power supply, which should be diagnosed by a technician.
