Viking Dishwasher Error Code PF

The PF error code on your Viking dishwasher indicates a Power Failure. This means that there has been an interruption in the power supply to the dishwasher during its operation.

1. Electrical Outage: A sudden power outage in your home or area.
2. Faulty Power Connection: Loose or unstable electrical connection to the dishwasher.

Solution:

1. Check Power Supply:

   • Verify if there has been a recent power outage in your area. In case of a widespread outage, wait for the power to be restored.
   • If the outage is not widespread, check other appliances in your home to confirm if they are receiving power. This can help determine if the issue is specific to the dishwasher.

2. Inspect Power Connection:

   • Ensure that the dishwasher is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet.
   • Examine the power cord for any visible damage. If the cord is damaged, it may need to be replaced.

3. Reset the Dishwasher:

   • If the power supply is stable and the connections are secure, try resetting the dishwasher.
   • Locate the dishwasher’s circuit breaker or unplug it from the power source for about 5 minutes before plugging it back in. This can often reset the control board.

4. Check for Tripped Circuit Breaker:

   • Inspect the circuit breaker associated with the dishwasher. If it has tripped, reset it.
   • If the circuit breaker continues to trip, there may be an underlying electrical issue that requires professional attention.

5. Professional Assistance:

   • If the PF error persists after performing the above steps, it is advisable to seek assistance from a certified technician. A professional can diagnose and address potential internal electrical issues, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of your Viking dishwasher.

Remember to prioritize safety when dealing with electrical components, and if you’re unsure or uncomfortable with any step, it’s best to consult a professional technician for assistance.
