Siemens Washing Machine Error Code E28 Meaning and Possible Fixes
Siemens Washing Machine Error Code E28
If your Siemens washing machine displays error code E28, E00-28, F28 or F00-28, this indicates a problem with the flow-through sensor of the water system.
Siemens washing machines use a flow-through sensor to monitor the volume of water entering the drum. If the appliance detects a fault with this sensor, it may stop the cycle and display the E28 error code.

What the E28 Error Means
The E28 error code indicates a problem with the flow-through sensor of the water system. This sensor measures the amount of water flowing into the machine. If it is faulty or giving incorrect readings, the machine may not be able to fill correctly.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty flow-through sensor
The sensor itself may have failed and is no longer accurately measuring the volume of water entering the machine.
Blocked inlet filter
A blocked filter at the water inlet connection can restrict water flow and affect the readings from the flow sensor.
Low water pressure
If household water pressure is unusually low, the flow sensor may not be receiving sufficient water flow to operate correctly.
Wiring fault
Wiring connected to the flow sensor may be loose or damaged, interrupting the signal to the control board.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Check the water supply
Ensure the tap supplying water to the machine is fully open and that the inlet hose is not kinked or damaged.
Clean the inlet filter
Turn off the water supply, disconnect the inlet hose from the back of the machine and check the small mesh filter inside the connection point. Rinse it carefully under running water and refit.
Restart the washing machine
Turn the appliance off at the mains and leave it for several minutes before restarting. This can clear a temporary fault.
