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.

What to do when PF shows on the refrigeratorKind of codeMode, 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 toNo repair
Check the food before anything else; Asko's manual insists on it, because what warmed during the outage may have spoiled.

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.
Check the food before anything else; Asko's manual insists on it, because what warmed during the outage may have spoiled.
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.
Keep the doors shut while the flashing temperature works its way back down to the setting.
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.

ASKO refrigerator repair
Built-in refrigerator
Flush with the cabinets, serviced from the front, and almost always repaired rather than replaced.
Refrigerator column
Separate refrigerator and freezer towers, each with its own sealed system — so a failure stays on one side.
Undercounter refrigerator
A single 15 to 24 inch unit under the worktop — front-vented, tightly enclosed, and easily starved of air.
In ASKO's own words
‘PF’ code shown in the display. Lengthy power failure.
