Possible Causes

Recent power outage, tripped household breaker, loose mains plug, unstable mains voltage.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure the outlet and plug are in good condition before continued use.

Steps:

  • 1. Reset Clock: Press Clock and set the time according to the user manual. 'PF' usually clears after setting the clock.
  • 2. Check Supply: Confirm that other appliances on the same circuit are working normally. If breakers trip repeatedly, consult an electrician.
  • 3. Direct Connection: Plug the Tower microwave directly into a wall outlet, not an extension cord.
  • 4. Surge Protection: Consider using a surge-protected outlet to prevent future control board damage.

Note: 'PF' itself is not a fault code; it is informational. If other error codes appear afterward, troubleshoot those specifically.
