Midea Dehumidifier Not Collecting Water — Fix

What Does This Error Mean?

Midea dehumidifier not collecting water is usually caused by the room humidity already being at the set target, the room being too cold for the dehumidifier to operate, or frosted evaporator coils. Check the room temperature and humidity level first.

How to Fix It

  1. Check the room humidity level

  2. Verify the room temperature is above 15°C (59°F)

  3. Check for frosted evaporator coils

  4. Clean the air filter

  5. Ensure the dehumidifier is not too small for the space

  6. Check for the FL or EC error code

Frequently Asked Questions

Midea dehumidifier fan runs but compressor is not cycling on — why?

If the room humidity has reached the set target, the compressor stops and only the fan runs. If the room is still humid but the compressor will not start, check for EC error — this indicates a refrigeration fault.

New Midea dehumidifier ran for 2 hours and collected very little water — normal?

In a new installation, the unit may take several hours to bring a very humid room down to the target level. In mildly humid conditions it may collect little water because the room humidity is already close to the target.

Midea dehumidifier collects water in summer but not in winter — why?

Warm air holds more moisture and dehumidifiers work more efficiently in warm conditions. In winter or in cold rooms, water collection naturally decreases. This is normal behaviour, not a fault.
