Problem: Drive Motor Failure
How to Fix F26 Error
- Disconnect the dryer from power at the circuit breaker.
- This error indicates the control board is not detecting motor movement. First, check if the drive belt is broken. If so, replace it.
- If the belt is intact, the drive motor has likely failed. This requires significant disassembly, including removing the drum.
- Once the motor is accessible, replace it.
- If a new motor does not solve the issue, the main control board is faulty and needs to be replaced.
