For the Samsung Washer families covered by the source set, **PF** means **power / voltage error**. The first useful step is to preserve the exact characters and model number before power cycling the appliance. A display code is evidence from the control system, not a component test result. That distinction matters because a connector, supply condition, obstruction, or feedback signal can mimic a failed component. The recorded display form is **PF**. Search normalization stores it as **PF** while preserving the characters a homeowner actually sees.

Power / voltage error.
Model compatibility: Samsung can reuse or reformat codes across series and model years, so PF may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

These are simple, non-hazardous checks only. If anything is unclear, stop and contact a technician.
Important safety warning. Safety takes priority over clearing PF. Disconnect power and stop use for active leakage near electrical parts, smoke, burning smell, or repeated breaker trips.
For PF, the service threshold is straightforward: Persistent power/voltage codes need the household supply and appliance power/control circuits checked safely before parts are replaced. Bring the exact model number and a photo of the display so the diagnosis stays tied to the documented Samsung code.

Power / voltage error.
One controlled restart is reasonable after correcting an obvious external issue. A recurring **PF** display should be treated as diagnostic evidence, not as a reason to keep rebooting the appliance.
Continue only if the appliance is otherwise safe and the owner-level checks are appropriate. Stop for leakage near electrical parts, smoke, burning odor, arcing, gas concerns, repeated breaker trips, uncontrolled heating, or unsafe temperatures.
Treat **PF** as a starting point, not a replacement instruction. Wiring, feedback signals, operating conditions, and electronic controls can mimic a failed component.
The same-looking code can be reused on another Samsung appliance family or reformatted by region/model year. Match the appliance type and exact model before applying a meaning. This page therefore keeps **Washer PF** separate from same-looking codes used by other Samsung appliance families.
