What PF
actually means.
PF tells you the Frigidaire lost power, most often a brief outage during a cycle. Models without a display flash the Hi-Temp Wash and Heat Dry lights for the same event.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Frigidaire's own guidance for PF on its dishwashers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press Start/Cancel to clear PF.
Start a new cycle.
If PF appears without any outage in the house, book a visit to check the supply to the unit.
Cleared?
No part needed replacing. If the next full cycle still stops partway or leaves water in the tub, treat that as a new problem.
What not to do
PF does not mean the dishes are clean; the cycle stopped when the power dropped.
