Midea washer error code · E1

Not filling

This is a washing-machine fault guide. The code above comes from the washer display; it is not the model number. Model-gated checks for E1, slow fill, or no water.

Stop immediately for smoke, burning odor, sparking, violent movement, or water near electrical parts. Do not touch a wet plug.

Before you begin

Choose your washer model

Select the washer family first, then choose a supported model. If it is not listed, you can still use the general safety checks.
