Error codePF
ApplianceRefrigerator
Quick answer
PF on a Frigidaire refrigerator indicates a power outage or surge, which may also set off a high temperature alarm.
Model compatibility: Frigidaire reuses codes across series and model years, so PF may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
Power failure or power outage; may also trigger a high-temperature alarm.
PF, or the Power Failure light, is how a Frigidaire refrigerator tells you it lost power. It indicates a power outage or a power surge, and the same event can also bring on a high temperature alarm.
Resetting the refrigerator
Depending on your model, one of two resets may apply. Unplug the unit for 30 seconds and plug it back in, or, when it cannot be unplugged, flip the breaker at the fuse box. The breaker option resets everything on the same circuit. Your use and care guide has more.
If the display lights up and the unit beeps, it may be a power failure or an error. A hard reset, unplugging for 2-3 minutes, is the suggested try.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
