Possible Causes

Recent power outage, Loose power cord connection, Faulty wall outlet, Tripped household breaker

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safe checks:

  • Press CLEAR/STOP or follow the user manual to clear the PF code, then reset the clock.
  • Inspect the power cord at the rear of the microwave for damage or looseness.
  • Test the wall outlet with another appliance to confirm it supplies power reliably.
  • Check your home’s breaker panel for a tripped breaker and reset if necessary.

If PF appears frequently without actual outages, have an electrician check the outlet and circuit, and consider having a technician inspect the microwave’s line filter and control board.
