Possible Causes

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

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If there are signs of burning or a tripped breaker, investigate before restoring power.

Reset:

  • Press Cancel/Off or similar key to clear PF.
  • Reset the clock and test basic functions.

If PF recurs frequently:

  • Verify the outlet is secure and not loose.
  • Avoid using extension cords; plug directly into a dedicated outlet.
  • Have an electrician check for voltage drops or loose connections in the home circuit.

Internal issue:

  • If PF appears without any known power issues, the electronic control board may have an intermittent power supply fault and could require replacement.
