Possible Causes

Recent power outage or brownout, Loose power cord connection, Faulty outlet or power strip, Internal control board power supply issue

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.
