What PF
actually means.
PF, or the words Power Failure, is the refrigerator telling you the power went out or surged. After a long outage the high temperature alarm may come on as well until the cabinet is cold again. The appliance itself has not failed.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Electrolux's own guidance for PF on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Once power is back, press Alarm Reset to acknowledge the message.
If the power was off for a long time, check the food.
Give the cabinet time to return to temperature; if it does not, book a visit.
Cleared?
Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.
What not to do
Do not book a repair for the PF message by itself. It records a power event, not a broken part.
