Possible Causes

Clogged filter and sump, Blocked or kinked Midea drain hose, Obstructed sink or disposal inlet, Weak or failed drain pump

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working inside the tub or under the sink.

  • Clean filters: Remove and rinse the coarse and fine filters. Clear any debris from the sump opening.
  • Check drain hose: Inspect the hose for kinks or clogs. Detach from the sink and flush with water to confirm it is clear.
  • Sink/disposal: Ensure the sink drain is not blocked. If a disposal is installed, verify the dishwasher inlet is open and not clogged.
  • Drain pump: If the pump hums but does not move water, remove and inspect the Midea drain pump. Replace if the impeller is damaged or the motor is weak.
