Amana Dryer Error Code PF
Power failure interrupted the cycle
Common Causes
- 1A brief utility outage during the cycle
- 2A double-pole breaker with one released pole
- 3A loose lug on the 240V cord or terminal block
- 4A shared circuit sagging when another load starts
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Tap Start to resume, since the Amana NED control remembers the running program and this code only marks that power was lost
- 2
When it will not restart, switch the dryer breaker fully off and on to reset a pole that released without fully tripping
- 3
Examine where the cord bolts to the terminal block for a loose or darkened lug that opens under the heater load
- 4
Watch whether the fault only shows when a heavy appliance starts nearby, which fingers a weak or shared branch circuit
Pro Diagnostic Tip
This code is a log of lost power, not a dryer defect, so a lone event after a neighborhood blink needs no repair at all. If it keeps returning, treat it as an electrical-supply problem and inspect the cord lugs and breaker before ever opening the Amana cabinet, because the board only reports the drop.
