The F28 error code on a Whirlpool Duet Dryer indicates that the moisture sensor is open. The moisture sensor plays a critical role in the dryer’s operation by detecting the moisture levels within the drum and adjusting the drying time accordingly. When the moisture sensor is open, it means that the sensor is not detecting moisture, which can prevent the dryer from operating correctly.

The F28 error code specifically means that the dryer’s control system has detected an open circuit in the moisture sensor or its wiring. This can be caused by a faulty moisture sensor, a broken wire, or a loose connection. As a result, the dryer may not be able to properly gauge when clothes are dry, leading to inefficient drying or the dryer shutting down prematurely.

It is important to address the F28 error promptly, as an open moisture sensor can affect the dryer’s ability to function effectively and could lead to further issues if left unresolved.
