Can I fix LG PF myself?

Very easy (About 1 minute). 1. Restart: Press Start/Pause to resume, or start the cycle again. 2. Reset if needed: Unplug it or switch off the breaker, press and hold START/PAUSE for 5 seconds, then restore the power. 3. No power cut?: If PF keeps appearing without a known power cut, a loose plug or socket is the usual suspect. Have it checked. Call an engineer: If it keeps happening with a sound socket and no power cuts.

Q: Is LG PF worth repairing?

Not a fault. Nothing to repair. If it keeps appearing with no power cut, have the socket and cord checked, because a loose connection is a safety issue.

Power failure

The power was cut during a cycle. LG says this isn't a fault with the washer, and many models carry on where they left off.
