How to fix Midea PC 01

  1. Wait out the storm

    If the lights in the house are flickering or the power has been unstable, leave the system off until things settle.

  2. Spot a pattern

    When power is back, note if the code returns at a certain time of day, like when a well pump, dryer or other big appliance starts.

When to call a technician

If it keeps happening on a steady supply, call an electrician or HVAC technician to check the voltage at the outdoor unit and the wiring connections. Don't open the panel or disconnect yourself.
