What to check, in order
- To carry on
Open the door to see the settings from where it stopped, then press Start. Frigidaire's manual says this works within 18 hours of the power cut.
- To clear it without resuming
Touch any button except Start or Cancel. Pressing Cancel cancels the whole cycle.
- One Start/Cancel button?
Press it to clear the code and start a new wash cycle.
When to call an engineer
Only if PF keeps appearing when the power hasn't been off.
