Severity: Critical

What Does This Error Mean?

How to Fix It

  1. Unplug and check the air filter

  2. Check for debris in the fan intake

  3. Try a power reset

  4. Test at different fan speed settings

  5. Listen for unusual noises from the fan area

  6. Contact Midea service for fan replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

Midea dehumidifier compressor runs but fan does not — what to do?

A running compressor without a fan is dangerous — it will overheat quickly. Unplug the unit immediately. A failed fan capacitor or fan motor is the usual cause. Do not run the unit in this state.

Midea dehumidifier fan stopped after the unit was knocked over — cause?

Knocking over a dehumidifier can dislodge fan blades or jam debris in the fan housing. Check the fan housing carefully for physical damage before attempting to restart.

Can I run a Midea dehumidifier with just the compressor and no fan?

No. Never operate the dehumidifier without a working fan. Without airflow, the compressor overheats within minutes and can fail permanently.
