Midea Dishwasher Error Codes — Complete Error Code Diagnosis Guide

Six Midea dishwasher codes are decoded here, and two of them concern temperature from opposite directions. E3 is water that never heated — a failed flow-through heater, a tripped thermal fuse, or NTC feedback out of range — while E5 is an over-temperature or a sensor reading outside its band, which a shorted NTC or a heater relay stuck closed can both produce. E1 is a fill fault at the tap, screen or valve. E4 is an overflow caught by the base float. E8 is the diverter that switches spray-arm feeds, and Ed is a panel-to-board communication fault.

Reading E3 and E5 as a pair is the point of this index, because they name the same circuit in different failure modes and only one of them is safe to leave running. The guides check the thermal fuse before the heater, since a tripped fuse is the symptom of a fault rather than the fault. E8 is a mechanical investigation — diverter position switch, debris in the valve — before a motor is ordered. Ed starts at the door ribbon and harness, which flexes every time the machine is opened.

E5 with a relay stuck closed is the entry that justifies pulling the plug rather than clearing the code, because a heater that stays energised is not something a display can stop. E4 has the same urgency for a different reason: the float has already found water in the base tray. Line voltage and standing water share this cabinet by design.
