What the E26 / F26 Error Means
The analogue pressure sensor monitors the water level in the drum throughout the wash cycle. If this sensor is faulty or not sending accurate readings, the machine cannot correctly manage the fill and drain processes, and the E26 or F26 error is displayed.
Common Reasons This Error Appears
Faulty pressure sensor
The sensor itself may have failed and is no longer accurately detecting water levels inside the drum.
Blocked pressure sensor tube
A small rubber tube connects the pressure sensor to the drum. If this tube becomes blocked with detergent residue or debris, the sensor cannot take accurate readings.
Disconnected or damaged pressure tube
If the tube has come loose from either end or developed a split, it will affect the sensor’s ability to measure water level correctly.
Wiring fault
Loose or corroded connections between the pressure sensor and the control board can trigger this error.
Safe Checks You Can Try
Restart the washing machine
Turn the machine off at the mains for a few minutes before restarting to clear any temporary fault.
Run a cleaning cycle
A hot wash with a machine cleaner can help clear any detergent residue that may be affecting the pressure tube.
