Possible Causes

Recent power outage, tripped household breaker, loose mains plug, unstable mains voltage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the outlet and plug are in good condition before continued use.

Steps:

  • 1. Reset clock: Press Clock and set the time according to the user manual. PF usually clears after setting the clock.
  • 2. Check supply: Confirm that other appliances on the same circuit are working normally. If breakers trip repeatedly, consult an electrician.
  • 3. Direct connection: Plug the Tower microwave directly into a wall outlet, not an extension lead.
  • 4. Surge protection: Consider using a surge-protected outlet to prevent future control board damage.

Note: PF itself is not a fault code; it is informational. If other error codes appear afterward, troubleshoot those specifically.
