PF
The error code PF on a Speed Queen washer indicates a Power Fail Error. This signifies that the washer encountered a power interruption during operation.
Here's an explanation of the situation and what you can do:
Power Fail Error (PF)
- Potential Cause: The error code simply acknowledges a power interruption that occurred while the washer was running. This could be due to a brief power outage, a loose connection in your home's wiring, or a tripped circuit breaker.
Resolving the Error
- Check the Power Source: Ensure your washer is plugged in securely to a working outlet. Check if other appliances in the circuit are functioning to confirm if the issue is isolated to the washer or a broader power issue.
- Reset the Washer: In most cases, a simple reset should clear the PF error. Typically, you can reset the washer by unplugging it from the power outlet for 30 seconds to a minute, then plugging it back in and restarting the wash cycle.
If the Error Persists
- Check Circuit Breaker: If the issue persists, check your home's circuit breaker panel. The circuit breaker connected to the washer might have tripped due to a temporary overload. Reset the tripped breaker if you find one, but if it trips again immediately, there might be an underlying electrical issue in your home's wiring.
- Contact Speed Queen Support: For further troubleshooting or if the error persists after checking the power source and resetting the washer, contacting Speed Queen's customer support is recommended. They can provide additional guidance or determine if a technician visit is necessary.
Important Note
- Avoid Electrical Work: If you suspect an issue with your home's wiring or circuit breaker, avoid any electrical troubleshooting yourself. It's best to consult a qualified electrician to ensure safety.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the PF error on your Speed Queen washer caused by a power interruption. If the error persists or you suspect an electrical issue in your home's wiring, seek help from qualified professionals.
