KitchenAid Wall Oven and Range Code PF: power failure alert

What PF / PF id=27 / PF id=30 means

On KitchenAid wall ovens and ranges covered by the general cooking error-code chart, PF means there has been a power failure. Some controls print PF id=27 or PF id=30, and these suffixes carry the same meaning. Press Cancel to clear the display, and on some models reset the time of day. Owners see it after a storm or a breaker trip, often with a blinking clock and an oven that stopped what it was cooking.

Common causes of PF / PF id=27 / PF id=30

Power to the oven was interrupted by a storm, outage or breaker trip
The oven lost its time of day and shows PF until cleared
The control is reporting the interruption correctly

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press Cancel to clear PF from the display. 2. Reset the time of day if the oven asks for it. 3. Restart any cooking that was interrupted. 4. Check that your breaker is on and stayed on. 5. If PF returns without any outage, call us.

! Why to stop there

PF reports a power event that already ended, so the oven itself is usually fine
Clearing it takes one press of Cancel
If PF keeps coming back on steady power, we can check the supply to the control and give a written price first

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

PF / PF id=27 / PF id=30PF / PF id=27 / PF id=30 questions

What does PF mean on my oven?

It means there has been a power failure. The oven shows PF so you know cooking was interrupted, and it asks for Cancel to be pressed.

Are PF id=27 and PF id=30 different?

Some controls print an id=27 or id=30 suffix after PF. They carry the same meaning as plain PF, which is a power failure. Treat them all the same way: press Cancel and reset the clock if asked.

What if PF comes back with no outage?

Repeated PF on steady power is not an ordinary outage message. Check that the breaker is solid and call us so we can inspect the oven's supply and control.
