What the F28 Error Code Means
The F28 error code indicates that the control board cannot activate the tapped field winding of the motor. The tapped field is part of the motor’s electrical winding arrangement that allows it to operate at different speeds. When the control board cannot switch this on, the motor cannot operate correctly and the programme stops. This is closely related to F27 and points to a fault in the motor control circuit.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty control board
If the control board cannot switch on the tapped field despite the motor being correctly installed, the most likely cause is a fault on the control board itself.
Incorrect motor fitted
If a motor replacement has been carried out using an incompatible part, the tapped field may not match what the control board expects, triggering this error.
Wiring fault between motor and control board
A loose or damaged connection in the motor wiring harness can prevent the control board from correctly activating the tapped field.
Faulty motor winding
A fault within the motor’s tapped field winding itself can cause this error to appear.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Restart the washing machine
Switch the machine off at the mains and leave it unplugged for a few minutes. Reconnect the power, switch back on and restart the programme. A power reset can sometimes clear a temporary fault.
If the error persists after a reset, the motor, wiring harness and control board will all need to be inspected by a qualified engineer.
