How to Fix E26 Error (Step-by-Step)

Turn off the washer and unplug it from the electrical outlet.
Access the analogue pressure sensor, which is usually located at the top of the machine, connected to a thin tube.
Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor carefully and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
Detach the pressure tube from the sensor. Be gentle to avoid damaging the tube.
Remove the screws or clips holding the sensor in place and take out the old sensor.
Install the new analogue pressure sensor and secure it with the screws or clips.
Reattach the pressure tube and the electrical connector, then reassemble the washer panels.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
