What PF
actually means.
The power to the refrigerator was interrupted. It is an alert about the supply, not a failure in the appliance.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE'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 — the compartments may have warmed while the power was off.
Clear the alert once you have checked.
If the unit does not return to temperature, 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 PF on its own. Nothing in the appliance has failed.
