Safety first: unplug the refrigerator (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Frigidaire PF

Acknowledge the alert
Press Alarm Reset or Clear Alerts, depending on your model. The refrigerator then goes back to normal operation.
Check the power supply
Make sure the plug is fully seated and the breaker is on. If water is near the outlet, switch off the breaker instead of touching the plug.
Check your food
A closed refrigerator keeps food safe for about 4 hours, and a full freezer for about 48 hours. Throw out perishables that were above 40°F (4°C) for more than 2 hours.

When to call a technician

If PF keeps appearing when your home hasn't lost power, have the outlet and the refrigerator checked.
