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 AS

  1. Unplug and restart

    Pull the plug, wait a minute or two, and plug it back in. Midea's manual gives this as the first thing to try.

  2. Clean the front filter

    With the unit unplugged, slide out the filter behind the front grille and wash it. A clean filter won't fix a dead sensor but it keeps the coil from icing in the meantime.

When to call a technician

If AS comes back after a restart, arrange service. The sensor is inside the cabinet.
