Open the lower drain-filter access, set out towels and a pan, and slowly unscrew the filter
Clear lint, coins, and hair, and feel the housing for a jammed impeller
Straighten the drain hose and confirm the standpipe height is within the manual range
Run a spin-and-drain — a pump that hums without moving water has a jammed or failed impeller
Replace the drain pump if it is silent or pumps nothing with a free-spinning impeller
Pro Diagnostic Tip
On Midea front-loaders the filter cap has a fine left-hand thread on some builds — hand-tighten only, as an over-torqued cap cracks and leaks, mimicking a fresh fault.
