On the Kenmore dryer model 11062342511, PF stands for Power Failure. It means the dryer’s cycle was interrupted because the dryer lost electrical power (even briefly) and then power returned.

What to do when you see PF

• Press Pause/Cancel (if your model has it) to clear the display.
• Re-select your drying cycle and press Push to Start to restart.
• Check that the dryer is plugged in firmly and the outlet is not loose.
• Reset the home breaker (or replace fuses) if the dryer lost power.
• Avoid using an extension cord; dryers should be connected directly.

For control-panel basics and cycle-start steps, see the 11062342511 use & care manual.

Common causes of a PF message

PF is usually not a failed dryer part. It is most often caused by a power interruption such as:

• A brief outage or power flicker
• A tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse
• A loose power cord connection at the outlet
• A household wiring or outlet issue

Quick check table

What you notice	Most likely cause	What we recommend
PF appears once, then dryer runs normally	Brief power flicker	Clear PF and restart cycle
PF keeps returning mid-cycle	Unstable power or loose connection	Check outlet, cord fit, breaker
Dryer runs but has no heat (electric models)	One breaker tripped or one fuse blown	Reset both breakers or replace both fuses

Why it matters

A PF message helps protect your laundry and the dryer by stopping the cycle when power is interrupted. If PF happens repeatedly, fixing the power supply issue can prevent long dry times, no-heat symptoms, and nuisance shutdowns.

For Kenmore dryer model 11062342511, the closest thing to a “hard reset” is a simple power cycle: turn the dryer off, disconnect power briefly, then restore power and try starting a cycle again. This can clear a temporary control glitch.

Power-cycle reset steps (model 11062342511)

• Turn the cycle selector to OFF.

If it still won’t start

A power cycle won’t fix a failed component or a power supply issue. The 11062342511 use and care guide points to these common checks:

• Confirm the door is fully closed.
• Check the home power supply; electric dryers typically use 2 household fuses or circuit breakers.
• If the dryer overheated from restricted venting, a safety device may have opened and the dryer may not heat.

Symptom	What to check first	Part that may be involved
No response at all	Door fully closed, power at outlet	Dryer door switch WP3406107
Runs but no heat	House fuses/breaker, venting restriction	Dryer thermal cut-off fuse kit 279816
