What the F26 Error Code Means
The F26 error code indicates that the main control board has detected a fault with the triac — the electronic component that controls power to the drain pump. If the triac is defective, the pump cannot be correctly activated or controlled. A fault with the pressure switch can also cause this code to appear, as the two components work together to manage water drainage.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty pump driver triac on the control board
The triac controlling the drain pump on the main control board may have failed, preventing the pump from being correctly activated.
Faulty pressure switch
A faulty pressure switch can produce incorrect signals that trigger the pump driver fault code even when the triac itself is functioning correctly.
Blocked drain pump
A severely blocked drain pump can cause the pump driver circuit to detect abnormal resistance and trigger this fault code.
Wiring fault
A loose or damaged connection in the pump driver circuit can cause this error to appear.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Clean the drain pump filter
Check and clean the pump filter at the bottom front of the machine. A blocked pump can place excessive strain on the driver circuit and trigger this code.
Restart the washing machine
Switch the machine off at the mains and leave it unplugged for a few minutes. Reconnect the power, switch back on and restart the programme. A power reset can sometimes clear a temporary fault.
If the error persists after cleaning the filter and restarting, the control board or pressure switch will need to be inspected by a qualified engineer.
