I have a Kenmore Elite HE5t and the code F26 keeps coming up Please let me know what that is My acct is under the phone719-465-3853

The door switch sensor button may be sticking in the closed (pushed in) position. Try to get it to spring back out. Otherwise the washer computer "thinks" that the door has not been opened for three cycles (F26).

What does F26 mean

Hi, Well The error F26 does indicate a fault in the door switch circuit. There is a door unlock error that would display if the door is not locking or unlocking but the F26 means the control is not seeing the door switch open and close.This is most likely a problem with the door switch or a loose connection at the switch.
One thing to try first before scheduling service or replacing the part is to check the connections on the door switch.
You can unplug the washer first and remove the lower access panel and reach up to the door lock and try to feel for the connections and make sure they're tight.


Thanks! mannu_rakesh
