Possible Causes
Obstructed dryer fan wheel, Failed dryer fan motor, Loose fan wiring harness, Lint buildup in dryer air path causing overload
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before accessing the dryer section.
- Access fan assembly: Remove the top cover and, if needed, the rear panel to locate the Midea dryer fan housing.
- Inspect for obstructions: Check the fan wheel for lint clumps, fabric pieces, or foreign objects preventing rotation. Remove any debris.
- Spin fan manually: The fan should rotate freely without grinding. If it is stiff or wobbly, the motor or bearings may be failing.
- Check wiring: Ensure the fan motor connector is secure and wires are not damaged.
- Test motor: Use a multimeter to verify proper resistance across the motor terminals. Replace the fan motor assembly if open or shorted.
