How do you reset the PF code on a Kenmore Elite dryer?
On Kenmore gas dryer model 11075132413, the PF code indicates the dryer’s control detected a power interruption. Clear it by pressing Pause/Cancel/Stop twice; then select your cycle and press and hold Start to run.
Reset steps (works for PF after an outage or breaker trip)
- Press Pause/Cancel/Stop two times to clear the display
- Re-select the desired cycle and options
- Press and hold Start until the drum begins turning
- If PF reappears immediately, unplug the dryer for 1 minute, then plug it back in and clear PF again
- If the dryer still will not run, follow the start checks in the 11075132413 owner’s manual
What to check if PF keeps coming back
PF is almost always a power supply issue, not a failed dryer component. Focus on the electrical connection first:
- Confirm the plug is fully seated in the outlet (no looseness)
- Reset the household breaker fully OFF, then back ON
- If your home uses fuses, replace any blown fuse on the dryer circuit
- Avoid extension cords or power strips; plug directly into the wall outlet
- If lights flicker or PF happens mid-cycle, have the outlet and circuit inspected
Quick guide
| When PF shows up | Most common cause | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Right after a storm/outage | Normal power loss | Clear PF; restart cycle |
| Randomly during drying | Intermittent power at outlet/breaker | Check breaker, outlet, cord fit |
| PF plus “won’t start” | Door not fully closed or Start not held | Close door firmly; hold Start |
Why it matters
Intermittent power can stop the dryer mid-cycle and cause long dry times or repeated restarts. Stabilizing the power supply prevents nuisance PF messages and keeps cycles consistent.

What is the PF code on Kenmore 11075132413?
On the Kenmore gas dryer model 11075132413, the PF code indicates a power failure (the dryer’s electrical supply was interrupted). Clear it by pressing Pause/Cancel/Stop twice, then restart the cycle; if it returns, check the outlet and power cord connection.
What to do next
- Press Pause/Cancel/Stop twice to clear the display.
- Unplug the dryer for 1 minute, then plug it back in.
- Confirm the dryer is plugged directly into a properly grounded outlet (avoid extension cords).
- Check the home breaker or fuse for the laundry circuit and reset/replace if needed.
- If PF appears during a cycle, look for a loose plug, worn outlet, or intermittent power strip (if used).
Quick checks that prevent repeat PF codes
| Check | What you’re looking for | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Wall outlet | Plug fits tightly, no scorch marks | Prevents intermittent power loss |
| Breaker/fuse | Not tripped, correct rating | Stops nuisance shutoffs |
| Power cord | No cuts, no loose prongs | Avoids dropouts under load |
| Start behavior | Dryer powers up normally after reset | Confirms PF was a one-time event |
Why it matters
A PF code is usually not a failed dryer part; it’s the dryer reporting that it lost power. Repeated PF events can interrupt heating and tumbling, leaving loads damp and increasing cycle time.

Where is the model number on Kenmore Elite dryer?
On Kenmore gas dryers like model 11075132413, the model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. We most often see that label on the door opening (inside the door on the cabinet frame) or on the back of the dryer near the top; confirm the exact location using the 11075132413 owner's manual.
Common places to check first
- Open the dryer door and look around the door opening on the cabinet frame.
- Check the inside edge of the door itself.
- Look on the back panel near the top.
- If the dryer is in a tight closet, use a flashlight and take a photo to zoom in.
What the label typically includes (and why it matters)
The rating label usually lists both the model number and serial number. We use the model number to match Kenmore parts correctly (for example, a belt, door switch, or timer), and the serial number helps identify production variations.
| What you’re looking for | Example format | What it’s used for |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | 11075132413 | Matching diagrams and correct replacement parts |
| Serial number | Letters and numbers | Identifying manufacturing series and revisions |
Tips if the label is hard to read
- Wipe dust off gently with a damp cloth; let it dry before running the dryer.
- If the print is faded, take a close-up photo with flash and zoom in.
- Write the model number exactly as shown (all digits matter).
Why it matters
Kenmore “Elite” is a product line name, but the model number is what determines the exact parts and troubleshooting steps for your specific gas dryer.
