Many ApplianceBoardRepair customers are observing code ‘PF’ on their Whirlpool Gold and RBD oven clock displays, usually along with the other symptoms covered in a previous discussion:

• ‘E6 F2’ or ‘E5 F2’ ERROR CODE

• RANDOM BEEPING

• NO CLOCK DISPLAY

• UNRESPONSIVE/DEAD OVEN

WHAT DOES ERROR CODE ‘PF’ MEAN?

Actually, the ‘PF’ isn’t really an error code.  In fact, it is a good indicator that the oven control board isn’t shot, and may not have any problems at all.

‘PF’ means Power Failure

The control board displays this whenever it recovers from a momentary power loss.

Now, that in itself means there could be a problem.  Momentary power losses can occur from many things including, but not limited to:

• Lightning strike

• Power spike

• Power outage (…duh)

• Faulty oven control transformer

• Faulty oven control board (typical part numbers: 8302967, 8302319, 8303883, 8303884)

Your breaker box at home will generally do a pretty good job of protecting your oven against the first three, and ApplianceBoardRepair will get you back up and running if it’s either of the last two.

So if you see ‘PF’, don’t worry – we got your back.  Send us an inquiry on our website or to info@applianceboardrepair.com if you’re ever concerned or need help figuring out the next step.
