How to fix Midea EH 61
Note the timing
After a power reset, watch whether EH 61 shows right away or only after the unit has run a while. That helps the technician tell a dead sensor from a loose plug.
Check the filter
A badly clogged filter can let the coil ice up, so clean it while you're there. It won't fix a failed sensor, but it rules out one problem.
When to call a technician
A code that keeps coming back means the coil sensor or its wiring needs replacing, which is a technician job.
