PF - Error Code - Dryer - Product Help - Maytag

timed cycle mean dryer not on sensor dry mode. check wire connection on moisture sensor bars (i think you forget to put 2 wire connector put together). when you use other cycle dryer use moisture sensor to dry cloths so sensor not working dryer will stop in 5 minutes or so because dryer think there are no wet cloths to dry. hope this help you.

Start with power. Try using a different outlet or extension cord to eliminate your outlet as a problem. examine your cord, look at the prongs to see any melting. if all ok next step is to look at power coming in to control.

PF is a Power Failure error meaning electricity has been interrupted to the machine.

Any electrical interruption to the machine such as a circuit breaker being reset or weather related power outage can cause a PF error code.

To remedy;

Press the Pause/Cancel/Stop button twice to clear the PF in the display.

Try to start a short cycle to check the operation of the machine by selecting a cycle and pressing and holding the start button.

If you continue to receive the PF error code, the control board may need to be replaced

From what you mention, my take on the issue is that a Fuse or board will either work or not work.My guess is a loose connection or damaged cord somewhere. Assuming you are not electrician , what I would suggest is just to check the cord from the wall outlet to dryer and look for any bends, or damage to the cable, WARNING do not touch it while still connected to outlet if there is any sign of damage. Also use a hair dryer as an example , and just plug it into the outlet to check if the electricity outlet itself, has not perhaps failed.Failing this, a loose earth connection, or wire to unit might have failed and best bet here is to have an appliance person check it over, good luck

Hi,

Here is a tips that I wrote that will help to explain why you get the PF Error Code

PF Error Code for Appliances

This error code indicates "power failure" was detected. This could be caused by a bad/loose connection at either the logic board, the relay board, or at one of the three main power connection terminals on the back of the dryer. The logic board is located inside the control panel. The relay board is located in the base of the dryer. You can unplug and reseat electrical connections at these locations and check the main power cord hook-up at the terminal block. Also check the thermal fuse and test it for continuity. A lack of continuity means a faulty fuse. Hope this helped and best wishes.

PF simply means there was a power failure since the last time you used the machine.
To clear it - simply power cycle it.

hi there,

PF stands for power failure. the first you should do is check your house breaker and make sure that you did not trip the fuse.

Does anything run? Can you hear the motor running? If not, you have no power coming into the machine. In this case it's the main control board that needs to be replaced.

If the motor hums, it means you have power to the d/w, in that case you need to replace the touchpad.

thanks
