PF on a Maytag washer means the cycle was interrupted by a power failure. Here is what to press to resume or clear it.
What this code means
PF
PF means the washer experienced a power failure during operation and the wash cycle was interrupted.
If PF shows up on your Maytag washer, the power went out or dropped while the machine was running. The wash cycle was interrupted, and the display is telling you so.
Which washers show PF
The code is listed for both front load and top load Maytag washers. The wording differs a little between the two, so match the steps below to your type.
What to do
- Top load: touch and hold START to restart the washer cycle, or press POWER to clear the display.
- Front load: some models let you press Start to complete the cycle. On other models you may need to press Cancel and begin the wash again from the beginning.
