Midea Dishwasher Problems

The most common Midea dishwasher problems include draining malfunctions, door lock failures, inadequate cleaning, loud operational noises, and a few more.

So, for a simple yet effective way to fix your dishwasher, keep reading till the end.

1. Dishwasher Not Draining:

The first thing that you should do if your dishwasher is not draining is to ensure that all of the parts are installed properly. Check to see if the drain pump is clogged or if the drain hose is kinked.

You should also test the drain level by placing a cup or other container under the drain hole. If the water does not go down at least 2 inches, then you need to call a professional plumber.

2. Door Lock Failure: 

If the door of your Midea dishwasher is failing to lock properly, then it can lead to several problems. One of the most common problems is that the door gets jammed due to food particles and other debris.

So, the first thing that you should do is to remove the access panel on the back of the dishwasher and clean out the area where the latch engages with the dishwasher frame.

You should use a stiff wire brush, some dish soap, and warm water. You should also wipe off the outside of the dishwasher with a dry rag.

3. Midea Dishwasher Not Cleaning:

If your Midea dishwasher is not cleaning the dishes properly, then the first thing that you should check is whether or not the washer arms are too tight. You should loosen them slightly if necessary.

You should also ensure that there is proper contact between the rubber pads on the bottom of the rack and the rubber feet on the floor. If these are not in good contact, then it will prevent the water from reaching all of the surfaces of the dirty dishes.

It is also important to check that the door gasket is not leaking. If all else fails, then try using another detergent or a different kind of soap. You can even try to use baking soda and vinegar. If none of this works, then you may need to contact a professional.

4. Noisy Dishwasher:

If your dishwasher is making a lot of noise when it is running, then it might be because of a problem with the seals around the door. These seals are constructed of rubber, and they should be in good working order.

You should also inspect the area around the drain hose and the drain pump and make sure that there are no leaks. If everything else fails, then you should call an experienced professional plumber.

5. Dishwasher Not Catching Food:

This is one of the most common dishwasher problems. It can happen for a number of reasons. First, you should ensure that all of the parts are installed properly.

If the problem still exists, then the first thing that you should do is remove the access panel on the back of the dishwasher and clean out the area where the latch engages with the dishwasher frame.

Use a sharp wire brush, dish soap, and warm water to clean, and wipe the exterior of the dishwasher with a dry towel as well.

6. Timer Error:

A malfunctioning timer in your Midea dishwasher might result in a range of problems. One of the most common problems is that the washing cycles do not get completed within the prescribed time limit.

So, if you are using the standard 30-minute cycle, then you should check to see if the time has gone by in less than 30 minutes.

If it has not gone by, then you should start over with a new cycle or simply wait until the next day.

Another thing that could be wrong is that the machine is going through more cycles than necessary. You should check the settings to ensure that this is not the case. 

7. Dishwasher Power Failure:

This is a very unlikely event, but it can happen. What will probably happen is that the power supply to your dishwasher will give out.

In that case, switch off the breaker that supplies electricity to your dishwasher and call an electrician right away. He will need to replace the fuse box as well as the circuit breaker. This is a job that should be left to the pros.

8. Midea Dishwasher Not Starting:

The first and the most common reason is a weak or dead battery. If this is the case, then all you have to do is remove the access panel on the back of the dishwasher and replace the battery.

Another possible cause is a bad connection between the water supply hose and the water inlet valve.

If this is the case, then you should simply unplug the water supply hose and plug it into the inlet valve.

If all else fails, then you should call an experienced professional plumber.

Conclusion:

Hopefully, this guide will assist you in identifying and troubleshooting some of the most common Midea dishwasher problems.

I hope that you are now more familiar with your dishwasher and that you will never have to call a professional plumber again. But, if you are still unable to repair 

your dishwasher yourself, then I suggest that you hire someone who is experienced and trustworthy to do the repair for you.
