The F26 error code on a Whirlpool Duet Dryer indicates a motor drive system failure. This error occurs when the dryer’s control board detects an issue with the motor or its related components, preventing the dryer drum from spinning. This could be due to a problem with the drive motor itself, the motor control board, or the wiring and connections between them.

When the F26 error code is displayed, it usually means that the dryer’s motor is not functioning as expected. The motor drive system is responsible for turning the drum and enabling the drying cycle. A failure in this system can result in the dryer not starting or shutting down mid-cycle.

Addressing the F26 error promptly is crucial to prevent further damage to the dryer and ensure it operates safely. Ignoring this error could lead to more significant problems or even a complete breakdown of the dryer.
