    I would also like to add that I had been having this same problem. What ended up being the problem was a wire had been "cut" in half. It was the red wire that connects to the thermostat, if you followed that wire the problem was where it ran by the dry fan. I can only assume that the fact that we have disassembled the combo frequently to clean out the condensing duct (we have a dog) we had somehow wired it in two. Weird thing was we at first thought it was the thermostat. We had ran through the checks and the voltage was 120 and when we preformed the live test the temperature gun was reading 300F when pointed at the element. So once we were reassembling we decided to check it again and it was reading nothing and the element wasn't getting hot at all. We must have just wired it in two during this last disassembly. But it was obviously not connecting during dry hence the DHE error code and the PF code sometimes as well!

I need to know what the error code pf means for a frigidaire gallery model #fgh202465nf1a

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

Lg washer dryer

The DHE error is dryer heat error. It's a problem with the heating element or thermister. You can find the service manual herehttp://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/content/pdfs/129017-8.pdf
