What Does Monogram Refrigerator Error Code PF Mean?

The PF error code on a Monogram refrigerator stands for Power Failure — it indicates that the refrigerator’s power supply was interrupted since the last time the display was cleared. This is an informational alert rather than a malfunction error. Monogram refrigerators are designed to log power interruptions so you are aware that cooling may have been paused.

When PF appears, the refrigerator has successfully restarted after the power interruption and is working to return to set temperatures. However, the duration of the outage determines whether food safety is a concern.

Common Causes of the PF Error Code

  • Power outage – A neighborhood or home power outage lasting any length of time will trigger PF when power is restored.
  • Tripped circuit breaker – A tripped breaker in your electrical panel interrupts the refrigerator’s power supply.
  • Unplugging the refrigerator – Manually unplugging and re-plugging triggers PF.
  • Loose power outlet connection – A loose plug connection can cause intermittent power interruptions.

How to Clear the PF Error Code

  1. Press the System Check or Alarm Reset button – On most Monogram refrigerator models, pressing the System Check, Reset, or Alarm Reset button clears the PF code.
  2. Check food safety – If the outage lasted more than 4 hours, inspect frozen and refrigerated foods for signs of thawing or spoilage. When in doubt, throw it out.
  3. Check the circuit breaker – Ensure the refrigerator’s circuit breaker is fully in the ON position.
  4. Monitor temperatures – After clearing PF, verify that the refrigerator reaches set temperatures within 24 hours.

When to Call a Professional

If the PF code reappears frequently without a known power outage, the refrigerator may have an intermittent wiring problem or failing control board. Contact our Monogram refrigerator repair team for diagnosis and repair with factory-certified Monogram parts.
