Error codeF28
ApplianceDryer
F28 belongs to the group of Maytag commercial dryer codes that come without a cause. The remedy sits in a single sentence: shut the breaker(s) off for 5 minutes, switch them on, set a time dry cycle going, and monitor the dryer for a minute.
Is more needed?
Only if the code is displayed again, in which case a technician should see the dryer.

When F28 does not stay away, call (415) 649-2156 for a visit. Background on the work is under Maytag dryer repair. It is useful to have the model number nearby and to say that the reset was done.
Model compatibility: Maytag reuses codes across series and model years, so F28 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
