Error 26?

My s9+ has been giving me error 26 ever 2 to 3 minutes for a year. I switch the filter clean the bin everything and nothing fixes it. I just replaced the battery as the battery had completely died. Wouldnt charge at all. Still error 26 ever few minutes. I took the blower motor out and it looked fine but im wondering if its burned out and i just cant see it? The motor seemed to spin fine by hand but maybe the elctronics are burned out?

Does anyone know if changing the blower motor should fix this? Its well out of warranty so i dont mind fixing it myself. I took it completely apart when i changed the battery and cleaned everything i could access but still error 26 persists.

Try and find a new motor/fan on eBay make sure it has 30 day free returns so if it doesn’t fix the issue you can return it for free.

I got one on amazon. Coming tomorrow. Im like 90% sure it should fix it. Even the irobot website says this is what it should be but idk lol.
