Possible Causes

Recent power outage or brownout, Loose power cord connection, Tripped breaker or poor supply voltage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If you suspect wiring issues, turn off power at the breaker before inspecting connections.

  • Clear code: Press Cancel or Off to clear PF. Reset the clock and test oven operation.
  • Check power supply: Verify the range is plugged in securely and the dedicated circuit breaker is fully on. Inspect the outlet and cord for signs of overheating or damage.
  • Monitor for recurrence: If PF appears frequently without known outages, have an electrician check the supply voltage and circuit integrity.
  • Internal connections: If comfortable, remove the rear panel and verify the terminal block connections are tight and not burnt.

Warning: Loose power connections can overheat and cause fire; correct immediately if found.
