PFGE Appliances Refrigerator — GE Refrigerator PF Error Code
Power failure detected — refrigerator lost power during normal operation
PF is an informational code that appears when the GE refrigerator detects a power interruption has occurred. It is not a malfunction indicator — the refrigerator is simply notifying you that power was lost, which may mean food temperatures rose during the outage. On many models, PF displays alongside the highest temperature reached during the outage so you can make a food safety assessment. The refrigerator resumes normal operation automatically once power is restored.
Press System Check or any temperature button to clear the PF code. Check the temperature readings shown alongside PF to assess food safety. If PF appears frequently without a known power outage, inspect the power cord for damage, test the outlet with another device, and check the circuit breaker. Frequent PF codes with no power events can also indicate a failing main control board.
