Midea Air Conditioner E2 Error Code

Portable AC evaporator sensor fault on Midea air conditioners.

MideaAll Midea air conditioner codes

E2
Moderate DIY

The sensor on the cold coil inside the portable is giving a bad reading. Without it the unit can't tell when the coil is about to ice up, so it stops.

Compatible models

Midea's US support FAQ lists E2 for its portable air conditioners and E3 for select portable models, without naming them.

Also shown as

Some Midea portables also show E3, which Midea lists as a condenser (hot coil) sensor fault on select models. On older mini-splits E2 is a zero-crossing signal fault, a different problem entirely.

Difficulty

Start with the safe checks below; a worn part may need replacing.

Safety first: unplug the air conditioner (or switch off its breaker) before touching filters, hoses or panels. If you smell burning or gas, or see water near the outlet, stop and call a professional.

How to fix Midea E2

  1. Let the coil thaw

    If the unit was running hard in a humid room, unplug it and leave it off for an hour so any frost on the coil can melt.

  2. Restart with a clean filter

    Rinse the filter, let it dry, refit it, and start the unit again.

When to call a technician

A code that keeps coming back needs a sensor replacement by Midea service.
