The F29 error code on a Whirlpool Duet Dryer indicates that the moisture sensor is shorted. The moisture sensor is a crucial component that monitors the moisture levels inside the dryer drum and helps adjust the drying cycle accordingly. When the moisture sensor is shorted, it can send incorrect signals to the dryer’s control system, potentially leading to the dryer either over-drying or not drying clothes sufficiently.

The F29 error code specifically means that the dryer’s control system has detected a short circuit in the moisture sensor or its wiring. This short circuit can occur due to a fault within the sensor itself, damaged wiring, or a loose connection. When this happens, the dryer may not be able to accurately detect moisture levels, affecting the overall performance of the drying cycle.

It is important to address the F29 error promptly, as a shorted moisture sensor can prevent the dryer from functioning correctly and could lead to further damage or safety concerns if left unresolved.
