shantapanchu a F28 error code is a common problem indicating that there is a communication problem with the central control unit. Any error code can be caused by a electrical anomaly. try to reset your washer. This reset might work but will depend on your specific model. To clear and restart the control follow the these steps:

Unplug your washer for 10 minutes.

Reconnect the washer

Press the Pause/Cancel/Stop button twice to clear the display.

Let us know if this helped and give us your washers complete model number.

Had the same issue! Mine was a simple door malfunction. I unplugged the washer power cord; plugged it back in. Then I opened and closed the door a couple of times and turned it back on. Seems to be working fine now. Good luck!

My washer is flashing F28. How can we fix this

I already follow your instructions to unplug the power cord from the outlet for 10 minutes and nothing happened.

My washer is a Commercial Duty Washer from Whirlpool and don't have a Pause/Cancel/Stop button on control panel.

The model N# CHW9060AW0 please need help.

I have Whirlpool duet steam washer that won’t wash clothes and had F28 code. I’ve done the restart. I’ve unplugged for ten minutes and tried again. I took too off to see if any central control unit wires unplugged. I unplugged and repligged those wires. It still starts then stops with error code and door won’t unlock. What else can I try to fix it? Model and is WFW9550WW00

If you need to unlock the door to get clothes out like me, I took removed the bottom panel and was able to reach a pull tab that releases the door lock. The instructions to do this were located in a diagnostic manual in a sleeve inside the machine. I am getting the F28 code, happened mid cycle with my stuff still in.
