   Zdenko Čobrda,
   When your Midea split indoor unit model MSAFC-16HRFN8-QRD0GQ1W shows an error LED with the RUN light flashing 5 times, it indicates a specific issue. Here’s a info to help you understand and troubleshoot the problem:

   Error Code: RUN Light Flashes 5 Times
   Communication Error: This error often indicates a communication issue between the indoor and outdoor units.
   Wiring Problem: There might be a loose or disconnected wire.
   PCB (Printed Circuit Board) Issue: The indoor unit’s PCB might have a malfunction.

   Troubleshooting Steps

   Power Cycle the Unit:
   Turn off the power supply to the unit.
   Wait for about 5-10 minutes.
   Turn the power back on and check if the error persists.

   Check Wiring Connections:
   Ensure all wiring connections between the indoor and outdoor units are secure and properly connected.
   Look for any visible signs of damage or loose wires.

   Inspect the PCB:
   Check for any obvious damage or burnt components on the PCB.
   If comfortable, you can try resetting the PCB by turning off the power, waiting a few minutes, and then turning it back on.

   Remote Control Reset:
   Sometimes, using the remote control to reset the unit can help.
   Follow the specific instructions in your user manual for resetting via the remote control.

   Consult the Manual:
   Refer to the user manual for your specific model to find detailed error codes and recommended actions.

   We hope these troubleshooting steps can help you fix your AC…

   James Norman,
   Midea AC error code = EC 07
   Possible refrigerant leak or refrigerant issue?
   Is the AC low on refrigerant?

    Hi, I recently purchased a home with koolking split indoor model ms11m-09hrfn1-mx5w (4 zones). All was working well but then the heat started to not blow very hard Even at high fan speed, and the air became much less warm about a week ago. I live in Canada. Today two of the units showed the P2 error code. Would there be a leak anywhere in the line that could cause this error? Can you provide some help and guidance on what I should do to ensure diagnosis correctly and next steps? Thank you for your help.

    E9 error code on our Midea AC unit – rang the warranty and they let slip that this is the error code for a communication failure between the indoor and outdoor units.

    Its usually due to an outdoor unit not being secured properly and a connection coming loose. Check all wiring and connections. We also gave out outdoor unit a fonsi style nudge and it starting working again although we now have to do this every time the error code comes up but it seems to work in the short term – next step is to go after the guy who installed ours as he clearly did a bad job – this is the third time we’ve had to call Midea about this unit.

    roger,
    There is no Midea AC split system E9 error code in the database at this time.

    However we found this by digging further…..
    Midea AC Display = Error Code E9
    Malfunction or Protection = Voltage error

    I have had the same problem with my split AC.
    Error code EC.
    Does exactly the same as described above.
    My model is not even listed on LG support site which doesn’t make things any easier, but they don’t seem to reference an error code “EC” for any of their units.
    Only info I have found elsewhere for other mfg units says this code means a faulty eeprom.

    I have a Midea AC MS11D3.
    It started showing E3 error, maintenance came, they changed a piece from the outside unit.
    As soon as they left, E3 came back.
    Company came back, took all out of my ac, and told me it was my motor mistake, just had it replaced.
    They left E3 again. Some cracking sound come smoke come like from cold and the fan came so strong.

    Bryan,
    The error code E1 on a Midea split type AC will depend on the model number you have, check the model number you have and the see below…
    R and 9A series MIDEA AC = E1 error code = Indoor outdoor units communication protection error.
    Other MIDEA Air Conditioners including M5OA-36HRDN1-Q = E1 error code = No A Indoor unit coil outlet temperature sensor or connector of sensor is defective.

    I have same problem with my Midea mini split 1 ton AC. I have checked any possible leakage but could not find any leakage as i have been told leakage leaves a black spot on the location of leakage. Also when my ac is running it cools properly. Which means freon is full. What else could it possibly be?

67. DIY Project Help Tips

    July 1, 2016 at 5:26 pm

    Benjamin,
    Midea AC error code EC = there is a possible refrigerant leak.
    Your Midea Air Conditioner has refrigerant leakage detection.
    Because of the installation layout of Midea Split air conditioners, it is possible that the AC unit can develop a refrigerant leak.
    The main effect will reduce the performance of your unit meaning it will not cool as well or not at all.
    Leaking too much refrigerant can damage the compressor.
    Midea split air conditioner systems will display an “EC” indicator on the indoor unit display screen.
    The EC error lets you know that there is a leak in the system.
    When you see the EC code on your Midea AC, you need to get the unit inspected before any damage can occur.
    -RR

    My Midea air conditioner keeps displays EC after about 10 mins into powering it on. I believe EC means error code but that doesn’t explain the main problem. How can I read this error code to understand the exact problem. Plus it does not chill and is always on 24.
