What would cause my dryer to keep turning off immediately after I start it and saying power failure (pf)? I would turn it off and back on after each time & it did the same thing repeatedly over 5 times.
For model number WED5600XW0
Hello Savannah, Thank you for reaching out. If any keys were pressed before the 10-second delay interval on power-up, this could cause the PF Error Code to appear.

This error could also be caused by a faulty control board. We hope this helps!
