What PF
actually means.
PF records that the refrigerator lost power at some point. It is a note about the supply, not about a broken part. If the outage was long, the food is the thing to check.

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
Think back to any outage or tripped breaker; if power was off for hours, check the food.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Café's own guidance for PF on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Think back to any outage or tripped breaker; if power was off for hours, check the food.
Unplug the refrigerator for a minute or two and plug it back in to clear the panel.
If PF keeps appearing with no outage you know of, have the outlet or circuit looked at.
Cleared?
Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.
What not to do
No repair is needed for PF alone. The appliance is reporting what happened to its power.
