This document is a Technical Service Guide for Midea Front Load Washers, specifically covering models MFH180-G1302DS_F01E-US and MFH180-G1302DS_F01E-EU. It provides comprehensive information on the washer's features, operation, components, and service procedures.
Function Description:
The Midea Front Load Washer is designed to efficiently clean laundry with various fabric-specific settings. It features 14 wash cycles, including options for Extra-Heavy Cottons, Easy-Care Colors, Whites, Towels, Sanitize, Delicates, Baby Care, Sportswear, and Tub Clean. The "My Cycle" selection allows users to save a favorite cycle for future use. The dispenser automatically adds diluted detergent, bleach, and fabric softener at the correct time during wash or rinse cycles. A nozzle sprays fresh water into the tub to clean the door glass. The washer includes an "End-Of-Cycle Signal" with adjustable volume and "Overflow Protection" that activates the drain pump when water reaches an overflow level. For convenience, it offers "Blackout Protection" to resume a cycle after a power interruption.
Important Technical Specifications:

- Water Level Sensor: Monitors water levels (empty, foam, main, overflow) by detecting air pressure changes in an air chamber connected to the outer tub.
- Water Valve: Assembly with 2 valve bodies and 3 solenoid coils. Flow rate of 2.1 gallons (8 liters) per minute. Each solenoid coil has an approximate resistance of 1.1 KΩ.
- Pump: 120 VAC, 60-Hz motor, impeller, impeller housing, and a removable strainer. Capable of eliminating 17 gallons (64 liters) per minute. Pump motor resistance is approximately 10.6 Ω.
- Heater Assembly: 120 VAC, 970 Watts, approximately 8 Amps, approximately 15 Ω. Includes a water temperature thermistor.
- Thermistor: 12 KΩ at 75°F (24°C). Resistance decreases as temperature increases.
- Motor Assembly: Reversible, variable speed, 3-phase induction DC motor with a sensor. Drives the tub drive pulley with a 7-rib belt. Motor winding resistance is approximately 5 Ω between any two of the three wires (blue, white, red). Sensor resistance is approximately 118 Ω between the two orange wires.
- Spin Speeds (Quick Wash example): Extra High (1300rpm), High (1150rpm), Med (800rpm), Low (400rpm).
- Energy Efficiency: Energy Star Qualification.
Usage Features:
- Control Panel: Intuitive interface with a cycle knob and various option buttons (Steam, Signal, Water Plus, Speed Wash, Extra Rinse, Pre Wash, My Cycle, Delay, Start/Pause).
- Wash Cycles: 14 pre-programmed cycles optimized for different fabric types and soil levels.
- Customization: Users can adjust Soil Level, Wash Temperature (Tap Cold, Cold, Warm, Hot, Extra Hot), and Spin Speed (No Spin, Low, Medium, High, Extra High) for each cycle.
- Steam Function: Adds steam to assist with loosening stains on specific cycles.
- Delay Wash: Allows delaying the start of a cycle for up to 24 hours.
- Door Lock: Engages during operation and unlocks at cycle completion. Manual unlock feature available in case of power loss.
- Dispenser Drawer: Compartments for liquid detergent (with concentration settings), powder detergent, liquid bleach, and fabric softener.
- Pedestal Installation: Optional 12-inch high storage drawer pedestals available for convenience and extra storage.
- Stacking Instructions: The washer is designed to be stacked with specific Midea dryer models (MLE52S7AWW, MLG52S7AWW, MLE52S7AGS, MLG52S7AGS).
Maintenance Features:
- Tub Clean Cycle: A dedicated cycle for cleaning the washer basket of residue and odor, recommended at least once per month using bleach or washing machine cleaner.
- Dispenser Drawer Cleaning: Residue should be removed once or twice a month by pulling out the drawer and pressing the lock tab.
- Pump Filter Cleaning: The washer has a filter to capture lost items. It can be accessed by opening a door with a coin or flat screwdriver, pulling down a pour spout, and turning the filter counterclockwise to remove debris.
- Service Test Mode: A built-in diagnostic mode accessible by pressing specific buttons (Power, Water Plus, Extra Rinse, Water Plus, Extra Rinse). This mode allows technicians to test critical components (pump, water level sensor, heater, NTC, water valve, inverter, motor) and access error codes.
- Error Codes: The guide provides a comprehensive list of error codes (e.g., E10 for water fill timeout, E20 for no drainage pump, E30 for door lock failure, E50/E52 for inverter overflows) with descriptions, problems, and possible causes/actions for troubleshooting.
- Component Removal/Installation Guides: Detailed instructions are provided for removing and reinstalling various components, including the top panel, service panel, control panel, door lock, door strike, line filter, water level sensor, water valve, pump, heater assembly, inverter, motor assembly, door, door hinge, tub gasket, dampers, wash basket, and outer tub assembly. These guides include warnings and notes on proper procedures, such as torque specifications for bolts and the importance of replacing seals.
