Power failure

Press Power, select the desired cycle, and press Start to resume drying after power is restored
Check if the power interruption was a house-wide outage or localized to the laundry circuit
Inspect the dryer power cord and outlet connection for signs of arcing or heat damage that could indicate an intermittent connection
If PF appears without a known outage, the 240V circuit may be losing one leg intermittently — have an electrician check the breaker and wiring
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Unlike washers, LG dryers do not automatically resume after power restoration — the PF code requires manual acknowledgment. If you have frequent brief outages (common in older Sacramento neighborhoods during summer), a surge protector rated for 30A/240V can help stabilize the supply.
