What the PF Error Means
The PF error code stands for Power Failure and indicates that the electrical supply voltage is out of range. The washing programme will be temporarily stopped. As the electrical voltage improves, the machine may continue to operate automatically. To avoid damage to the appliance, Zanussi recommend leaving the dishwasher switched off until the voltage has stabilised.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Power supply fluctuation
A temporary fluctuation or interruption in the mains power supply may have triggered the error.
Voltage too low
The incoming voltage may be below the acceptable operating range for the appliance.
Faulty plug or socket
The plug, socket or household fuse may have a fault affecting the power supply to the appliance.
Electrical installation fault
There may be a fault with the household electrical installation that is causing voltage irregularities.
Electronic control board fault
In some cases the control board may have developed a fault and is incorrectly detecting a power supply problem.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Switch the dishwasher off
Turn the appliance off at the mains and leave it switched off until you are confident the power supply has stabilised.
Check the plug and socket
Make sure the plug is fully inserted into the socket and that the socket is functioning correctly by testing another appliance in the same socket.
Check the fuse
Check the fuse in the plug and replace it if necessary.
Avoid using an extension lead
If the dishwasher is connected via an extension lead, plug it directly into a wall socket instead.
Restart the dishwasher
Once you are satisfied the power supply is stable, turn the appliance back on and run a new cycle.
