Possible Causes

Clogged lint filter or internal ducts, Dirty condenser (on condenser models), Failed dryer heater element, Weak dryer fan airflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning internal parts.

  • Clean lint filter: Remove and thoroughly clean the lint filter after every drying cycle.
  • Clean condenser (if equipped): Remove the condenser unit and rinse under running water to remove lint and scale.
  • Check load size: Do not overload; Midea combos have a lower drying capacity than washing capacity. Dry smaller loads.
  • Inspect airflow: Remove top/rear panels and check the dryer duct and fan for lint buildup. Clean as needed.
  • Test heater and fan: If there is no noticeable heat or airflow, test and replace the dryer heater or fan motor as required.
