It sounds like you have a bad computer board if it's stuck on 19 minutes and the pf is for power failure,this is only a guess,the best thing would be to call in a tech to check it so you know what the problem is,the board is expensive or you can order the board from repair clinic,if it's not the problem you can send the board back to them.did your power go out for some reason like a storm or something?this can take out any computer board

SOURCE: I have a Maytag Neptune

pf is for power failure,what kind of a smell is it,electrical or like shellac,when motors heat up it kind of smells like shellac.you can do this,open the door,remove the four fillips screws that you see,two in the door hidges and two on the other side,don't remove the door,shut the door when all screws are out and grab the front panel on both sides and pull forwards,the panel will come off and you can still run the machine,put clothes in it and run it like always and try to see if you can find where the smell is coming from,if the motor overheats and the overload pops that would kill the power going back to the board and it would be like unplugging it while it was running and give the pf code or another thing is to check the block where the power cord connects to the back of the dryer,make sure the wires are tight but i think you have a bad motor.let me ask you this,do you have to wait a while before it will start again?if so it's the motor.let mek now what you find.

MY maytag neptune dryer center wont start when I press the start button on the bottom unit it shows PF

The PF is a power failure code and it indicates the control is not sensing any line voltage
Check the circuit breaker for the dryer is not tripped. The PF could be caused by a voltage drop during a storm but you should be able to clear it and run the dryer

My Maytag Neptune Dryer stopped running & is

as per heatman The most common cause of your appliance giving you the PF error code is a problem with the power coming in from your utility company. Of course if there is an interruption of power, and then the power comes back on you will get the PF code Loose wires going to the circuit board or the control can also be a cause of the error code. If a wire terminal end happens to get corroded or loose, the vibration from the machine can cause slight power problems and this can cause the PF code to be displayed. Finding the cause of this type of problem is like finding a needle in a haystack. Sometimes you can cause it to be displayed by banging on the side of the appliance or slightly moving the wiring harness, to see if you can get the error code to display.

The bottom line about this power failure error code, is that it is power related. Finding the exact cause can be difficult. If you are continually having to reset the appliance then check to see if all of your appliances are giving the same code. This will indicate utility power problems. If only one appliance is giving the PF code then it is probably internal to the appliance.

DRYER WILL NOT SHUT OFF. CONTINUOUSY RUNS AND IS OVERHEATING.

The control board regulates the timer functions, yours may have failed
