Frigidaire Dishwasher Error Codes and Service Test Mode

Hey Carol, I understand that you are receiving an "PF" error message on your Frigidaire Dishwasher. Typically this error code indicates a power failure. Before considering contacting a service provider, I would recommend resetting the dishwasher by turning off the power to the appliance for about five minutes. After the five minutes return power to the appliance, this should allow the appliance to return to working condition. At this time if you find the problem still persists, you may want to consider contacting a professional technician. The concern could be the control board. Hope this helps! -JK

Good Afternoon Jodi, thank you for your post!

Based off what you have described your Frigidaire dishwasher is displaying an error code "CO" and will not run. An error code of "CO" may be a miscommunication within the control panel and you can clear that error code by disconnecting power from it for roughly ten minutes. If you continue to experience an issue with your dishwasher I would suggest contacting a professional technician for a diagnosis to be completed. I hope this information is helpful. -Matt

Many modern appliances have error code build in to the control programing to help with the diagnosis of a failure. Frigidaire dishwashers with display s will flash Er then a two letter error code.

Er i s a Switch error (Replace Console Pn# 154639207)

CE is a Configuration error (Replace Control Pn#154543602)

UO is a Vent that will not close. (Replace Vent Pn#154682301) or remove blockage

uF is a Vent fan Not running (Replace Vent Pn#154682301) or remove blockage

Other codes you my see in the display that are not errors

LO is Low rinse aid

PF is power failure

Ho is Water Heating

CL is close Door

01-24 hours of delay
