Hoover washing machine shows E26, often at the start of heating.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Unplugged or broken NTC sensor, Open-circuit NTC element, Broken wire in NTC harness, Faulty PCB sensor input

Safety first: Unplug the washer before accessing the heater area.

1. Check NTC connection: Locate the NTC at the tub and ensure its connector is firmly attached.
2. Inspect wiring: Look for broken or pulled wires between the NTC and PCB.
3. Test NTC resistance: If it reads infinite resistance (open circuit), replace the NTC sensor with a Hoover-compatible part.
4. Reset and test: After replacement, reconnect power and run a warm wash to confirm operation.
5. Persistent E26: Indicates a likely PCB fault; seek professional service.
