Frequently Asked Questions - MLV47A3AGG MIDEA

How do I install my Midea MLV47A3AGG washer?
Installation requires unpacking the washer by removing the protective foam, selecting a location on a hard, level floor, connecting the water hoses (not included) to the hot and cold water faucets, connecting the drain hose to a drain at 122 cm high, leveling the washer with the adjustable legs, and plugging into a 120 V/60 Hz/15 A properly grounded outlet. Run a test Rinse & Spin cycle to verify.
What type of detergent should I use?
Only use a high efficiency (HE) detergent to reduce suds and optimize cleaning. Do not use regular detergent. Pour the recommended amount into the dedicated dispenser (liquid or powder).
What if the washer does not start?
Check that the washer is plugged in, the lid is closed, the water faucets are turned on, and you have pressed the Start/Pause button. Check the fuse or circuit breaker. The washer makes clicking sounds before filling – that is normal.
How do I clean the washer drum?
Use the Tub Clean cycle once a month. Make sure the drum is empty, add one cup of bleach to the bleach dispenser, then start the cycle. This removes odors and residue.
Why is there water leaking?
Check that all hose connections are tight, that the drain hose is properly inserted and secured, and that you have not overloaded the machine. Use HE detergent to avoid excessive suds.
How do I unlock the lid?
Press the Start/Pause button to pause the washer. Wait a few seconds for the lock to release. If a power outage occurs, the lid unlocks when power is restored.
What does error code E1 mean?
The E1 code indicates a water fill issue. Check that the lid is closed, faucets are on, and there is no leak. Clean the hose screens if necessary.
How do I level the washer?
Open the lid and pour water into the drum up to the leveling circle. If the water does not touch the entire circle, adjust the front adjustable legs by gently tilting the machine. Do not extend the legs more than necessary.
Can I use only cold water?
Yes, select the Tap Cold option to use only cold water. If you do not connect the hot water hose, insert a water inlet plug (not included) into the hot inlet.
What is the warranty on the Midea washer?
The limited warranty covers 1 year parts and labor from the date of purchase, with a lifetime warranty on the stainless steel drum. Proof of purchase is required. Product registration may extend the warranty by 3 months.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of ire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

Use a 120 Volt, 60Hz, 15 amp fuse or circuit breaker. We recommend an individual branch circuit that serves only your washer.

MIDEA MLV47A3AGG - WARNING - 1

WARNING

Never use an extension cord.

Electrical grounding is required for your washer.

You must ground your washer. IN the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.

Your washer is equipped with a power cord with a three-pronged grounding plug for use in a correctly installed and grounded outlet.

The outlet must be correctly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

MIDEA MLV47A3AGG - Electrical grounding is required for your washer. - 1

WARNING

  • You are responsible for providing adequate electrical services for your washer.
  • An incorrectly connected equipment-grounding conductor can increase the risk of electrical shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are not sure whether your washer is grounded correctly.
  • Do not modify the power cord plug that came with your washer. If the plug does not fit the outlet, have the correct type outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
  • To prevent unnecessary risk of fire, electrical shock or personal injury, all wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/FNPA, No.70 Latest Revision and local codes and ordinances.
  • Never connect the ground wire to plastic plumbing lines, gas lines or hot water pipes.

Water requirements

To fill your washer in the correct amount of time, the water pressure needs to be between 14 and 116 psi (100 to 800 kPa).

If the water pressure is less than 14 psi (100 kPa):

  • The water valve may fail or may not shut off completely.
  • The time it takes to fill your washer may be longer than the time your washer controls allow. Your washer will turn off and report an error. A time-limit is built into the controls to prevent flooding in your home if a hose becomes loose.
  • Water inlet hoses must be purchased separately. You can buy inlet hoses in various lengths up to 8 ft. (240 cm).

To avoid the possibility of water damage:

  • Make sure that the water faucets are easily accessible.
  • Turn off the faucets when you are not using your washer.
  • Periodically check to make sure that water is not leaking from the water hose fittings.

Drainage requirements

The recommended height for the drain standpipe is 48 in. (122 cm).

The drain hose must be routed through the drain hose clip to the standpipe.

The standpipe must be large enough to accept the outside diameter of the drain hose.

Washing a load of laundry

MIDEA MLV47A3AGG - Washing a load of laundry - 1

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before operating this appliance.

Selecting a detergent

Your washer is designed to use high efficiency (HE) detergents.

  • For the best cleaning results, use an HE detergent. We recommend that you do not use a regular detergent. HE detergents contain suppressors that reduce or eliminate suds. When fewer suds are produced, the load tumbles more efficiency and cleaning is maximized.
  • Reducing the amount of detergent may reduce the quality of cleaning. Make sure that you:

  • Pre-treat stains.

  • Sort carefully by color and soil level.
  • Avoid overloading.

1. Turn on you washer

  • Your washer will run with cycle selections you choose.
  • The lights will display different combinations according to the different cycles you choose.

2. Load your washer

Caution

Before loading your laundry, make sure that you remove coins, keys, and other hard objects and close zippers. These items may damage clothes and the washer.

  • Sort laundry by fabric type, soil level, color, and load size.
  • Fill the tub with dry, unfolded clothes. Load the tub no more than 3/4 full.

NOTE:

• Overloading may reduce washing efficiency, cause excess wear, and possibly cause creasing or wrinkling of the load.
- Wash delicate items such as bras, hosiery and other lingerie on the Delicates cycle with similar lightweight items.

  • When washing big, bulky items (such as rugs or pillows) or a few smaller items (such as stuffed toys or one or two sweaters) that do not fill the tub completely, add a few towels to improve spin performance.
    • Always use the Bulky cycle for bulky items.
  • When washing heavily soiled loads, do not overload your washer to ensure good cleaning results.

3. Add detergent and additives to the compartment

Liquid detergent compartment
Powder compartment

Loading the liquid or powder detergent compartment

  • Loading liquid or powder detergent in the compartment indicated.
  • Pour the recommended amount of laundry detergent directly into the compartment before starting your washer.
  • If you are using color-safe bleach, add it with the detergent to the detergent compartment.

NOTE:

  • When adding color-safe bleach with detergent, both laundry products should be in the same form (liquid).
  • If no detergent compartment, you should add the detergent into the tub.

Loading PODs in the washer

  • First load PODs directly the bottom of an empty basket
  • Then add clothes on top of the PODs

NOTE:

- Loading PODs at the bottom of the basket will improve wash performance and will enable detergent to dissolve more easily in the wash.

Bleach compartment

Loading the bleach compartment (liquid bleach only)

  • Add chlorine bleach to the bleach compartment. Do not over-fill the compartment.
  • There is no water inlet to the bleach dispenser, so the bleach will directly load into the tub when you pour it in.

MIDEA MLV47A3AGG - Loading the bleach compartment (liquid bleach only) - 1

Caution

  • Avoid splashing or over-filling the compartment.
  • Never pour undiluted liquid chlorine bleach directly onto the load or into the tub. Doing so can damage fabrics, by weakening of the fibers or stripping the color.

NOTE: Do not pour color-safe bleach into the bleach compartment. Instead, add it to the detergent compartment.

Loading the fabric softener compartment

  • Pour the recommended amount of liquid fabric softener into the softener compartment.
  • The dispenser automatically releases liquid fabric softener at the correct time during the rinse cycle.
  • Whenever fabric softner is used, please make sure to select FABRIC SOFTNER on the Rinse selector knob.
