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

Unplug the washing machine from the power outlet for safety.
The analog pressure sensor is typically located at the top of the washer, so you may need to remove the top panel.
Locate the sensor and carefully disconnect the thin rubber tube and the electrical connector attached to it.
Remove the screws or release the clips holding the old sensor in place and take it out.
Mount the new analog pressure sensor and secure it with the screws or clips.
Reconnect the rubber tube and the electrical connector to the new sensor.
Replace the top panel and plug the washer back in to test its operation.
Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
