How to Fix F26 Error (Step-by-Step)

Disconnect the power to the dryer by unplugging it from the wall.
Remove the front panel of the dryer to access the motor.
Inspect the drive belt to ensure it is not broken or worn out. If it is, it will need to be replaced.
Check the motor for any visible signs of damage or burning.
Use a multimeter to test the motor for continuity. A lack of continuity indicates a faulty motor.
If the motor needs to be replaced, carefully disconnect the wires and remove the mounting bolts.
Install the new motor, reattach the drive belt, and reassemble the dryer.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
