LG Error Code PF
Power failure
Common Causes
- 1Power interruption
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Press the Power button to turn the washer back on, then press Start/Pause to resume the interrupted cycle
- 2
If PF appears repeatedly without a known power outage, check the electrical outlet with a lamp or phone charger to verify consistent power
- 3
Inspect the power cord connection at the wall outlet and at the washer — a loose plug can cause intermittent power drops during spin vibration
- 4
Check the home circuit breaker for the laundry room — a breaker that trips during high-current spin cycles indicates an overloaded circuit or a failing breaker
Pro Diagnostic Tip
LG washers draw peak current during the spin ramp-up phase. If PF appears consistently at the start of spin, the circuit may be shared with other high-draw appliances. California electrical code requires a dedicated 20A circuit for laundry — older homes may not comply.
