含义
错误代码 26 表示排水超时。洗衣机在排水阶段检测到水位下降速度未达到预期，压力开关在规定时间内未能回落到空桶水位值。主控板判定排水速度过慢，停止程序以防止排水泵长时间干转或电机过热损坏。
常见原因
- 排水泵过滤器部分堵塞，水流可以通过但流量不足，排水速度明显降低。
- 排水管路中存在部分堵塞物（如棉絮团、小件衣物），水能流过但阻力增大。
- 排水管提升过高（超过 96cm）或管路水平段过长、弯头过多，形成排水阻力。
- 排水泵叶轮磨损或泵体内有异物造成叶轮转动阻力增大，转速不足。
- 压力开关（水位传感器）参数漂移，空桶复位阈值异常导致误报。
自助排查
- 拔掉电源，打开前下方检修盖板，在排水泵过滤器下方放置容器接水。缓慢旋出过滤器，清理内部积累的线屑和杂物。
- 检查排水管全程，确保最高点不超过洗衣机顶部以上 96cm（约 38 英寸），且排水管末端不要插入下水道过深。
- 从地漏端拆下排水管末端，目视检查管内是否有棉絮团或异物。用长软刷或水管冲洗排水管内部。
- 清理完毕后装回过滤器，向洗衣桶内倒入约半桶水，选择单独排水程序测试排水速度和声音是否正常。
- 若排水管路确认通畅但故障持续，压力开关或排水泵电机转速可能异常，需联系通用电气售后服务进行专业诊断和更换。

Meaning
Error code 26 indicates a pump-out timeout. During the drain phase, the washer detects that the water level is not dropping at the expected rate, and the pressure switch fails to return to the empty-tub water level value within the allotted time. The main control board determines the drain rate is too slow and stops the program to prevent the drain pump from running dry or the motor from overheating.
Common Causes
- The drain pump filter is partially clogged — water can flow through but at insufficient volume, significantly reducing drain speed.
- The drain line has a partial obstruction, such as a lint wad or a small article of clothing, that increases flow resistance.
- The drain hose is installed too high (above 96cm / 38 inches), or the horizontal run is too long with too many elbows, creating excessive drain resistance.
- The drain pump impeller is worn or obstructed by debris, increasing rotational resistance and reducing pump speed.
- The pressure switch (water level sensor) has drifted in calibration, and the empty-tub reset threshold is abnormal, causing a false trigger.
Self-Check Steps
- Unplug the washer and open the lower front access panel. Place a container under the drain pump filter to catch water. Slowly unscrew the filter and clear away accumulated lint and debris.
- Inspect the full drain hose run. Ensure the highest point does not exceed 96cm (approx. 38 inches) above the washer base, and the hose end is not pushed too deep into the standpipe.
- Detach the drain hose end from the floor drain and visually inspect the interior for lint wads or foreign objects. Flush the hose with water using a long flexible brush.
- After cleaning, reinstall the filter, pour about half a tub of water into the drum, and run a drain-only cycle to test the drain speed and sound.
- If the drain path is confirmed clear but the fault persists, the pressure switch or drain pump motor speed may be abnormal. Contact GE after-sales service for professional diagnosis and replacement.
