What P1F
actually means.
P1F is Perlick’s zone 1 probe code. Without that probe the control cannot measure the freezer compartment reliably. Perlick asks you to acknowledge the code and book service if it comes back within a week.

What to do when P1F shows on the freezerKind of codeTemperature sensors
The control lost its reading of how cold the cabinet, the coil or the air around the freezer is, because a thermistor reports nonsense or its wire came loose. Without that number the control either runs the compressor without stopping or lets the cabinet drift warm. A sensor packed in frost and a connector loosened by a move are checked before the sensor itself is replaced.

Repairing the dial thermostat or the sensor and control that decide when a freezer cools, so it stops running without end or quitting too early.
Shows up asFreezer Error Code
A freezer error code appears on the display: letters and digits, a flashing temperature, or a warning symbol, sometimes with an alarm and sometimes with the freezer still running.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Perlick's own guidance for P1F on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Acknowledge the code on the display.
Put a thermometer in the freezer and check it over the next day.
If P1F repeats within a week, book a visit to test the probe and its connection.
Still there?
It usually turns into freezer thermostat and temperature control repair. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
P1F is not a warm freezer alarm; that is T1H. It is also not the evaporator probe, which reports as PEF.

Still showing P1F?
