This means 'Power 'Failure'.
This could be from the circuit breaker being tripped and then was reset, wall outlet issue, or possibly if the cord was replaced then the screws conecting the wires to dryer may not be tight. Make sure dryer in unplugged before checking connections.
Some homes have an energy management system where higher energy use appliances are given a priorty so they all cannot run at same time so keeps your electric bill lower.
For example, the water heater and a/c system would be wired to override the dryer so if both these were runnng and then you turned on the dryer, the control unit would shut power down to dryer within a short time.
Hope this helps.

PF code

Depending on manufacturer and model, PF can mean a number of things. On my stove, PF simply indicates "Power Fail" Yours may, too. You can clear this generally by updating the clock display. To verify that PF does indeed mean power fail for your stove, simply shut off the power for the cicuit than supplies the stove. This can be either circuit breaker or fuses. Turn the power back on after 5 or more seconds and if it displays PF again, you know it means power fail.

Otherwise, please provide the manufacturer and model of you stove for an answer.

Good luck!

I have a Pinguino PAC 190 floor model that blinks PF what does that mean?

PF- error code means shor of gas/gas leak. It's not advisable to charge gas without finding out the leak.
To find out leak, remove all gas and then charge Nitrogen pressure up-to 300 PSI and then with soap solution or leak detector element you can find the leak. Arrest the leak by brazing/welding, Again pressurize with nitrogen to confirm no more leak. And then vacumize and do gas charging.

My kenmore elite wahing machine is blinking PF and done of my buttons are working, the mashine will not run at all. I'ts a black top loader, not sure the year.

Hello
PF error means power failure which is generally caused when the control board inside the unit goes bad. You can try unplugging the unit for 15-30 minutes, if the issue returns then the control board needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Dishwasher is blinking PF what does that mean?

howdy, PF means power failure. There was evidently an interruption. If it has a clock this requires a reset, otherwise you should be able to clear it by reselecting your preferred cycles or timer.

Pf??

PF means power failure.
For short outages the clock may still have correct time
(there is a battery backup for that), but the PF will
be displayed. Setting the clock will clear the PF
indication.

Press 'clock set-start' button, (under clock display)
enter time with numeric keypad,
press 'start' button. (to right of clock)
