Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before opening any panels.
Inspect communication wiring:
- Remove the top and rear panels to access the main control and motor area.
- Locate the harness that carries serial communication between the boards (refer to wiring diagram in the tech sheet).
- Disconnect and reconnect the harness at both ends several times to clean contacts. Check for pinched or abraded insulation along its path.
- Ensure the harness is routed away from high-voltage lines and sharp metal edges.
If F28 persists: Either the main control or the motor control section is defective. Because this involves board-level diagnosis, replacement is best handled by a qualified technician using the correct Crosley parts.
