How to fix Midea EC 07
Power off first
Switch off the outdoor disconnect or the breaker for the system before you get near the outdoor unit. With power off, check that the fan blade turns freely by hand.
Clear the outdoor unit
Pull leaves, grass clippings, plastic bags, and any snow or ice away from the coil and the fan grille. Leave at least 2 ft (60 cm) of open space around the unit.
Restart and watch the fan
Restore power and start cooling. If the outdoor fan stays still, hums, or grinds, shut it off again.
When to call a technician
If the fan won't turn freely or the code comes back with the area clear, a technician needs to check the outdoor fan motor and board.
