PF error code in the LG washing machine

When the program launches the washing program of the device, the LCD displays PF malfunction. The machine stops and does not fulfill the conditions of the installed program.

What is the abbreviation of the fault?

Such a malfunction, which is displayed on the display with the combination PF, indicates the manifestation of problems with the power supply and its load.

As a rule, such an error consists in a power outage throughout the house (apartment). If you don’t have a voltage regulator through which the washing machine is connected, and there may be a power surge, then the combination of the indicated abbreviation is displayed on the screen. If such a combination of PF does not appear often, and you know its cause, then your unit is working. When the fault code is displayed continuously and does not depend on the mode turned on, you should contact the repair shop. If there were interruptions in the network (or an emergency power outage), then to fix the breakdown, you just need to turn on the start button. As a result of the specified operation, the program should start the wash again or continue from the moment the failure occurred.

When such an error manifests itself with a certain regularity or is constantly displayed in any mode, we recommend that you find its cause.

Home troubleshooting without professional help

• First, install, resulting in a breakdown. The washing machine must be plugged into an individual working outlet. Connect the device through faulty extension cords, and even more so tees is not recommended. If you have not met the requirements and conditions for inclusion in the power supply network, you need to call specialists to make an individual entrance to the power source with automatic shutdown in case of a drop or a power outage.
• The cord of the device must not be crushed and have damage (bare wires).
• If the automation fails, you need to disconnect from the power and, after 15-20 minutes, re-enable.
• Connect the unit through a voltage regulator so that surges do not affect its smooth operation and do not short-circuit (melt or burn) the contact connections.

Have you completed all the procedures, but the situation has not changed? Then call specialists, the cause of the breakdown lies in the washing machine itself.
