How to Fix F28 Error (Step-by-Step)

First, attempt a simple reset by unplugging the dryer from the power outlet for 5-10 minutes, then plugging it back in.
If the error persists, unplug the dryer again and remove the top panel to access the internal components.
Locate the main Central Control Unit (CCU), which is the primary circuit board for the dryer.
Visually inspect the CCU for any burn marks, loose connections, or signs of damage.
Check the wiring harness connecting the CCU to the Motor Control Unit (MCU) and other components, ensuring all plugs are seated firmly.
If all connections appear secure and there is no visible damage, the CCU is likely faulty and needs to be replaced.
Carefully disconnect all wire harnesses from the old board, remove it, install the new CCU, and reconnect everything exactly as it was.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
