Dishwasher displays E8; drying performance is poor and dishes remain wet at the end of the cycle.

Safety first: Turn off power at the breaker and allow the dishwasher to cool before accessing the door or side panels.

• Check drying settings: Confirm that a drying option is selected and that rinse aid is filled. Some Midea models rely heavily on rinse aid for drying.
• Inspect vent and fan: Remove the inner door panel to access the vent and fan assembly. Check for lint, grease, or plastic wrap blocking the vent. Clean thoroughly.
• Fan operation: During the drying phase (requires caution and live testing), listen for the fan. If silent, the fan motor or its wiring may be faulty.
• Component replacement: If the fan blades are broken or the motor is seized, replace the Midea drying fan assembly. If the PTC heater is cracked or shows burn marks, replace it as well.
• Professional help: If you are not comfortable opening the door assembly or working near live circuits, contact a technician.
