If the power supply voltage is too low.
If the water amount reaches to the required water level. (The washer will not work if the water amount does not reach the required water level)
If it is set to “Delay” washing mode. (It will only start to work until the reservation time reached)

MIDEA Top Loading Washing Machine PROBLEM: Washer will not drain
REPAIR or CHECK: If the water drain hose is placed very high.
If the end of water drain hose is sealed in pond.
If the internal rubber ring of drain valve is blocked by dirt.

MIDEA Top Loading Washing Machine PROBLEM: Abnormal spinning
REPAIR or CHECK: If the door lid is closed.
If all clothing piled largely at one side of barrel or the clothing is excessively placed.
If the washer is not placed in stable condition or it is placed in inclination state. (The ground is not flat).
If the motor belt is loose.

IMPORTANT: During the spin process, if clothing is piled up at one side of the spin barrel, it will cause unbalance of spin barrel resulting in striking. At this moment, the computer inside the washer will feel this unbalance phenomenon and will automatically correct it (fill in water Washing). However, if unbalance situation is not removed after continuous three corrections, which means the computer auto-correction can not resolve the problem. Then the user has to manually and evenly place the clothing inside the barrel to solve the problem.

  1. The washer is constantly on drain mode, as soon as we set to wash and the water comes in the drum, the water just automatically drains. How do we fix it?

  2. Unplug the washing machine before working on it. Did you clean the side lint filter? Did you remove the water pump and check it for broken parts and clogs. The back and bottom come off easy. There is a one screw bottom drain.
    Remove the hoses with a pair of channel locks by pinching the clamp tips together and twisting. The drain hose comes off easily. Slowly tilt the machine to let the water drain out.

  3. Error code E2 keeps coming up. I have cleared the drainage pipe. Still same issue. How do I clean or check the drain pump?

  4. Melissa miller

    Everything is fine.
    How can I Reboot the panel from the previous setting and e2 code?
    I left it unplugged overnight with no change. Is there a secret reset button?

  5. Melissa miller

    I have a E2 Code and it will not clear. I have unplugged overnight and it remains stuck in the same settings with code as when it appeared and stopped washing. I did move the washer when it was running but I don’t know where it was in the cycle. I have taken the wet laundry out and water. I removed the hose and it’s clear. I don’t think there’s a mechanical issue at this point if I could clear the panel
