Possible Causes

Failed Midea circulation pump motor, Jammed pump impeller, Loose pump wiring connector, Faulty main control board output

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power and water before accessing the base.

  • Listen during wash: After filling, you should hear a strong motor sound and water spraying. If you only hear a low hum or silence, the pump is suspect.
  • Check for obstructions: Remove filters and inspect the sump for foreign objects that could jam the impeller.
  • Access pump: From the bottom, remove the Midea circulation pump and inspect the impeller. Clear debris and ensure it spins freely.
  • Replace pump: If the motor is seized or burned, install a new Midea wash circulation pump.
