Possible Causes

Overloaded drum causing motor stall, Faulty motor windings, Loose motor harness, Defective motor control on PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the motor or control board.

  • Reduce load: Remove some laundry and try a smaller load to see if the error clears.
  • Inspect motor and belt: Remove the rear panel and check that the belt is intact and the drum turns freely by hand.
  • Check wiring: Ensure the motor connector is secure and wires are not damaged.
  • Test motor: Use a multimeter to check motor winding resistance according to Midea specifications. Replace the motor if readings are out of range.
  • PCB diagnosis: If the motor is good but E50 persists, the motor drive circuit on the main PCB may be faulty and should be serviced professionally.
