Washer shows E26, often associated with water inlet or valve control on some Candy models.

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

Shorted inlet valve coil, Wiring short to valve, Failed inlet valve triac on PCB, Moisture on PCB

Safety: Turn off water and unplug the washer.

Test valve coils: Disconnect the valve connectors and measure resistance. Replace any coil that is open or significantly lower than specification.
Inspect wiring: Look for chafed wires from PCB to valve.
Check for leaks: Ensure no water is dripping onto the PCB or wiring from the detergent drawer or hoses.

If E26 persists with good valves and wiring, the PCB is likely defective and needs professional replacement.
