# GE Profile refrigerator showing PF

PF is the GE Profile's record that it lost power for a while.

## What PF actually means.

PF is the GE Profile's record that it lost power for a while. The refrigerator is describing something that happened to its supply, not a part that broke. What matters is how long the outage lasted and how warm the compartments got.

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

Find out how long the power was off, then decide which food is still safe.

### Shows up as Refrigerator Not Cooling

The compartment is warm but the appliance still has power and still makes noise.

### Make GE Profile

GE Appliances' step-up line above GE: freestanding and counter-depth French door and side-by-side refrigerators.

### Source GE Appliances (maker of GE Profile) support: refrigerator codes

GE Profile is a GE Appliances line, and GE Appliances publishes a single refrigerator code list for its brands, written for models with electronic dispenser controls. Not every GE Profile refrigerator uses it.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from GE Profile's own guidance for PF on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Find out how long the power was off, then decide which food is still safe.

02

Clear the message once the food has been checked.

03

If PF keeps coming back with no outage in the house, have an electrician look at the outlet and circuit.

### Cleared?

Nothing needed repairing. If the refrigerator does not settle back to temperature, that is a separate problem.

### What not to do

PF by itself is no reason to book a repair. If the compartments do not cool back down afterward, that is a separate problem worth a visit.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about PF.

### Can I clear PF myself?

Find out how long the power was off, then decide which food is still safe.

### What should I check after PF on my GE Profile?

Start with the length of the outage and a thermometer reading from each compartment. Then decide which food is safe and clear the message.

### What if PF keeps appearing on my GE Profile with no outage?

Have an electrician check the outlet and circuit. PF alone is no reason to book a repair.
