--- title: "Asko refrigerator showing PF | RefrigeratorRepair.center" description: "What PF means on Asko refrigerators, what to check before booking, and when it is not a failure at all." url: "https://refrigeratorrepair.center/error-codes/asko-pf/" --- # Asko refrigerator showing PF PF is a power-failure alarm: the supply was cut long enough for the inside to warm past the alarm level, and the unit tells you once power returns. ## What PF actually means. PF is a power-failure alarm: the supply was cut long enough for the inside to warm past the alarm level, and the unit tells you once power returns. The cooling itself has not broken; it simply could not run while the house was without electricity. ASKO refrigerator display What to do when PF shows on the refrigerator ### Kind of code Mode, not a failure A setting somebody chose, or an alert it raised on purpose — a showroom mode, a door or power alarm. Nothing has broken and no part is needed. ### Usually leads to No repair Check the food before anything else; Asko's manual insists on it, because what warmed during the outage may have spoiled. ### Shows up as Refrigerator Showing an Error Code A code narrows the search, but only the manufacturer's own table gives it meaning. ### Make ASKO Scandinavian integrated refrigeration, mostly behind furniture panels. ### Source Asko Instructions for use, model R31442I, troubleshooting table (PDF on the Gorenje Group document server) Asko R31442I and the RBR276 family (RBR276SND1, RBR2764DND1, RBR2767DND1, RBR276DND1). The two panels clear the alarm with different keys. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from ASKO's own guidance for PF on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Check the food before anything else; Asko's manual insists on it, because what warmed during the outage may have spoiled. 02 Silence the alarm: on an R31442I touch any key; on an RBR276 model press C once, then press C again to cancel the power-failure notice. 03 Keep the doors shut while the flashing temperature works its way back down to the setting. 04 Book a visit if a high temperature is still flashing many hours later with the doors closed. ### Cleared? Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem. ### What not to do Silencing the tone does not mean the food is fine. The alarm reports what happened during the outage, and only you can judge what sat in the warm and for how long. ## What you may notice with it. The refrigerator problem PF tends to arrive with.

Check the food before anything else; Asko's manual insists on it, because what warmed during the outage may have spoiled. ### Is my food safe after the Asko shows PF? PF only tells you the inside got warm enough to trip the alarm while the power was out. Asko asks you to check the food first, because the display cannot tell you how long each item sat warm. ### Does PF on an Asko mean the refrigerator needs repair? Usually not, since the unit simply had no electricity to run on. Once the alarm is silenced and the doors stay shut, the flashing temperature should fall back to the setting; a reading that stays high for many hours is the point to book a visit. --- **[Read on the site: Asko refrigerator showing PF | RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/error-codes/asko-pf/)** **[Book a visit with RefrigeratorRepair.center](https://refrigeratorrepair.center/schedule/)**
