E5 error; ice maker stops, water does not fill properly or overfills the evaporator tray

Safety: Unplug the ice maker and close the water supply valve.

• Locate water level device: Depending on the Midea model, this may be a float switch in the reservoir or an electronic water level sensor.
• Clean the reservoir and float: Remove the reservoir cover. Take out the float (if present) and clean it with warm soapy water, removing any scale or slime. Rinse thoroughly.
• Check float movement: Ensure the float moves freely up and down and is not obstructed by debris or misrouted wires.
• Inspect wiring and connectors: Follow the float/sensor wires to the control board. Look for corrosion at the connector and reseat it.
• Test fill: Restore water and power, then observe a fill cycle. If the unit still shows E5 or over/under-fills, the sensor or switch is likely defective.
• Replace sensor/switch: Install a new Midea water level sensor or float switch assembly. Ensure seals and grommets are properly seated to prevent leaks.
