Possible Causes
Shorted drain pump, Shorted triac on control board, Damaged wiring between pump and PCB
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the washer before testing electrical components.
- Inspect pump: Access the drain pump and check for signs of burning or melting. Spin the impeller by hand to ensure it is not seized.
- Measure pump resistance: Disconnect the pump and measure coil resistance. Compare to Midea specifications; a very low reading may indicate a shorted coil.
- Check wiring: Inspect the harness from pump to control board for chafing or shorts to chassis. Repair or replace damaged wiring.
- Control board: If the pump is shorted, replace it and inspect the PCB for a damaged triac. If the triac is burnt, the control board will need replacement.
