Repair & Advice
Had to take the 'PITA' spring & ring off the front of the bellow, I found it easiest to go ahead and open the front panel, open the lid take off the whole front of the washer to access the connectors after I broke the connector on the little blue wires 2 years ago when the latch failed for a different issue (not F26 just wouldn't stay closed IIRC)
The F26 didn't happen every load and would reset after unplugging, but it came back after I put this new latch in- always with some water left in the bottom and wet clothes.
I've seen F26 on other machines that refer to the water pressure switch & level sensor controlling the drain pump triac- maybe my problem is really there? Sorry now I threw the old latch away! :-( if your god it could be done in less than two hours maybe 1
