LG Dryer PF error code

Difficulty: Easy · Cost: $0 · Duration: 2–5m

The PF error means your LG dryer lost power during a running cycle. This is most commonly caused by a power outage or a tripped circuit breaker. The dryer displays PF to let you know the cycle did not complete normally. A factory reset by holding the Start/Pause button while the unit is unplugged clears it in most cases. If PF keeps appearing after the reset the unit will need a professional repair.

Common causes

Power outage interrupted the cycle while the dryer was running
Circuit breaker for the dryer tripped during the cycle
Dryer was accidentally unplugged while running
Unstable power supply causing a temporary interruption
