Is PF on a LG washer an emergency?

Usually not an emergency. If it smells like burning, sparks, or trips the breaker, switch it off at the breaker and leave it off until it is checked.

What PF means

“error code indicates a power failure”

— LG USA, LG Front Load Washer - Error Code List(New). Codes vary by model: check your washer’s own manual.

Where PF fits

In plain words, PF is about the power supply or wiring — voltage out of range, a blown fuse, or a wiring fault.

LG gives one other power and wiring code for this washer: PS (The PS error indicates a power supply issue).

Next to PF in LG’s table: PE (water level sensor is malfunctional) and tE (heating error, usually caused by faulty thermistor).

What to try first

  • Restart the cycle; if the code keeps coming back without an outage, request service.

Safety: If it smells like burning, sparks, or trips the breaker, switch it off at the breaker and leave it off until it is checked.

How urgent is it?

At least THIS WEEK. fixRAgent treats this code as a this-week repair: the appliance has reported a fault, but the code alone does not point at a safety hazard. This is fixRAgent’s reading, not the manufacturer’s. A photo can raise it — water near wiring, scorch marks, a gas smell — but a code never lowers what the photo shows.

Who to call

Appliance repair. Have the model and serial numbers from the label ready — a photo of the label works.

Recalls and manuals

Check whether your model is under a safety recall on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s site: cpsc.gov/Recalls. Your owner’s manual is on LG’s support site; search it with the model number from the label.
