Bosch washers are informed of problems with the water level in the drum with the code F26. If he appeared on the scoreboard, then the machine can’t cope with the drain or set, which leads to the stop of the running process.
In addition to this code, indirect factors may indicate troubles with the sensor:
- The heater is turned on before the water is filled;
- After the program ends, the dirty water is still in the drum - in whole or in part;
- After rinsing, the laundry is saturated with the chemical smell of liquid, powder or bleach, or after pressing the clothes are too wet.
In any case, without the right amount of water, no program can function correctly, so problems with the water level sensor are critical for the operation of washing machines. In the technical literature, this sensor is usually called a pressure switch. It is located at the top, and the principle of its operation is based on determining the air pressure inside the drum. More water at the moment inside - stronger air pressure. When a certain liquid level is reached, the pressure switch fixes the pressure and signals that enough has been accumulated, after which the selected washing program, rinsing or spinning starts. Similarly, the drain occurs - only after a signal from the sensor.
In some special cases, you can reset the F26 code by restarting the washing machine. To do this, disconnect it from the mains for a quarter of an hour. If the error still lights up on the control panel, then a repair is needed.
Unfortunately, the sensor often breaks, but replacing it will completely solve the problem. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace or reflash the control unit. In any case, the master will tell you the exact reasons and solutions for this situation.
