Wait — what does the drain pump have to do with a power failure error?
Everything.
A clogged filter forces the pump to run longer and harder. This increases current draw. On sensitive Gorenje models, the control board interprets a voltage sag (due to overcurrent) as a PF error, not a pump error.
How to do it better:
This simple step eliminates the PF error in ~20% of cases where no power issue actually exists.
Some online forums suggest the PF error means a faulty control board. That’s very rarely true. Replacing the board is expensive and often doesn’t solve the root cause. gorenje pf error better
If you tell me your Gorenje model number and country voltage (or allow me to assume 230V EU), I can give model‑specific part numbers and a concise checklist for a service tech.

“My Gorenje WA 72135 showed PF every time the deep freezer kicked in. Moved machine to a separate circuit – solved.”
“PF appeared once after a storm. Unplugged for 1 minute and never saw it again in 2 years.” Wait — what does the drain pump have
“I replaced the main board for €180 because of random PF. It fixed nothing – the real issue was a loose neutral in my wall socket.”
“Technician came, measured 205V at socket during spin, said ‘too low’, installed a voltage stabilizer – problem gone.” This simple step eliminates the PF error in
