Kenmore Refrigerator Er PF Error — Power Failure Notification
The Er PF error code is an informational notification rather than a true malfunction alert. It indicates the refrigerator experienced a power interruption — the power went out and was restored. The display shows Er PF to alert you that temperatures may have fluctuated during the outage.
What to Do After Er PF
- Press any button to clear the Er PF notification.
- Check the current compartment temperatures — the refrigerator will display the actual current temperature as it recovers.
- Allow 24 hours for temperatures to fully stabilize after a prolonged outage.
- Check perishable foods — items above 40°F for more than 2 hours should be discarded.
When Er PF Appears Without a Known Power Outage
If Er PF appears without any known power interruption, the refrigerator may have experienced a momentary power surge or the control board reset itself due to a transient fault. If this happens repeatedly, have an electrician check the outlet and circuit for voltage irregularities.
