Quick answer

PF is the power failure code: the drying cycle was interrupted when power was lost.

Model note: Whirlpool reuses codes across series and model years, so PF may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

What this code may mean.

A plain-language reading of the code — always confirm against your model’s documentation.

The drying cycle was interrupted by a power failure.

Cycle cut short by a power failure

PF stands for Power Failure. The dryer lost power part-way through drying, and the display now shows the code. It covers standard dryers, HybridCare dryers and commercial-grade residential dryers.

Steps

  1. Touch and hold START to restart the cycle, or press POWER to clear the display.
  2. If an outage happened recently, shut off the dryer’s household circuit breaker for 1 minute, then turn it on again.
  3. Watch the dryer for 1 minute to see that PF does not return, and confirm it runs normally.

Other ways PF can appear

  • Noise on the power supply line during an outage that the control reads as the wrong voltage.
  • Pressing keys before the 10-second delay at power-up has finished.

Within about 3 months of installation, ask a qualified electrician to verify the electrical supply.
