GE Microwave PF 888 8888 Error Code

VERIFIED

Error code PF, 888, 8888
Appliance Microwave

What the display is

PF, 888 and 8888 are one and the same kind of message; the model decides which of them you see. None of them is a fault.

Situations that trigger it

  • The microwave was just installed.
  • Electricity came back after an outage at home.
  • The power cord was pulled out and put back.

Clearing it, step by step

  1. Touch Clear/Off or Cancel/Off; some models call the pad simply Clear.
  2. Use the microwave as usual.
  3. If the display shows a clock, enter the time again.

Do not confuse with

Microwave service when the display stays

Should the message refuse to clear, San Francisco and Bay Area owners can call (415) 729-2045. Tell us the model number and which pad you pressed. See microwave repair for more.

Model compatibility: GE reuses codes across series and model years, so PF, 888, 8888 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

PF, 888 and 8888 appear after installation or power restoration and are not faults.

Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
