Possible Causes

Utility power interruption, Loose plug, Faulty GFCI outlet, Intermittent house wiring issue

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Avoid repeatedly resetting a tripping breaker without diagnosing the cause.

Steps:

  • Clear the code: Press the designated buttons (often any key or a specific combo) to silence and clear PF.
  • Inspect plug and cord: Ensure the Whirlpool refrigerator's power cord is not damaged and is firmly plugged into a non-GFCI, grounded outlet.
  • Check breaker: Reset the breaker if tripped. If it trips again, unplug the refrigerator and consult an electrician.
  • If PF appears frequently and no other appliances are affected, have the outlet and circuit inspected. If the circuit is good, the main control board may be overly sensitive and require replacement.
