As far as I know F28 error code means - SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS ERROR/MOTOR CONTROL UNIT ERROR. Caused by either a communications problem between the Central Control Unit and Motor Control Unit, or Motor Control Unit internal failure.

F28 is a communication error which usually means there is a connection that has come loose. Removing the top and unpplugging and replugging the connectors in will fix 75% of these codes. If the bottom toe panel is not on it will also give you an F28

  • Unplug or turn the circuit breaker off for 30 seconds.
  • Reconnect the unit to the power source by turning the breaker back on or plugging the unit back into the wall outlet.
  • Press the Pause/Cancel/Stop button twice to clear the display.
  • Start a short cycle to check the operation of the machine by selecting a cycle and pressing and holding the start button until the machine starts if you have any further questions message me back and please remember to rank how this opinion has helped in your appliance situation when our chat has concluded Thanks again Rick

    SOURCE: ERROR CODE F28

    Unplug the machine at the mains. Remove the detergent tray. Reach all the way back with your hand in the slot where the detergent tray normally fits and feel for a lever. When you find it pull it forward. Then replace the detergent tray. Plug the machine back on and the error code will have reset and the machine will be useable again.

    SOURCE: have a whirlpool duet sport getting a f28 error

    F28 is a serial bus error from the CCU (Central Control Unit) to the MCU (Motor Control Unit).

    All you need is some Electronics contact cleaner spray and a 1/4 inch socket to remove the top of the machine and the back of the machine.
    The CCU is the computer looking box at the top front right hand corner.
    Find connector M13, (has red marking on it and only 3 wires) disconnect it by pushing the retainer tab back and pulling gently on the connector.
    Spray the contacts of the connector and computer with connector cleaner.
    Then re-assemble connector.
    The MCU is in the back lower left corner.
    Find the connector with 3 wires and red mark, and remove this connector in the same way you did the other, spray it and re-install.
    Put the back and top back on.

    Whirlpool f28 error code and door lock light

    For the F28 error code:
    First, check the wiring harness connections to the MCU, the Motor, and the CCU. Make sure all the connections are tight and there are no ground wires off. Then check the connections of the CCU board within the housing.

    If the wiring connections are fine then It would be a good idea to order both, as both components have been problematic for the error code F28.
    Here is a link to the CCU.
