LG dryer Error Code PF
Power failure
Common Causes
- 1Power interruption
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Press Power, select the desired cycle, and press Start to resume drying after power is restored
- 2
Check if the power interruption was a house-wide outage or localized to the laundry circuit
- 3
Inspect the dryer power cord and outlet connection for signs of arcing or heat damage that could indicate an intermittent connection
- 4
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.
