Frequently Asked Questions - MLE47R5BWW MIDEA

What to do if the dryer does not start?
Check that the door is properly closed and locked. Ensure the power cord is plugged in and the circuit breaker has not tripped. If the door was opened during the cycle, press Start/Pause again.
Why is the dryer not heating?
Check that the selected cycle is not Air Fluff (no heat). Clean the lint filter and vent duct. For a gas model, ensure the gas valve is open. Also check the fuses/circuit breakers.
How to clean the lint filter?
The lint filter is located inside the door, in the front frame. Remove it, take off the lint by hand or with a vacuum, then replace it. Clean it before or after each load to avoid fire hazards.
Can I use a plastic vent duct?
No, never use a flexible plastic duct. Use a rigid metal duct 10.2 cm (4 in) in diameter or a flexible metal duct with rigid walls. Plastic ducts can sag, accumulate lint, and increase fire risk.
What is the maximum capacity of the dryer?
The capacity is 7.0 cubic feet. Do not overload the drum: items must be able to tumble freely. A large load is about 3/4 full.
What does error code E4 mean?
Code E4 indicates a humidity sensor fault. The dryer may finish the current cycle but clothes may be over-dried. You can continue using timed cycles. Contact customer service at 1-866-646-4332.
How to reverse the door?
Unplug the appliance. Remove the four hinge screws, then the door. Remove the latch and cover screws, install them on the opposite side. Disassemble the door, rotate the outer frame 180°, reassemble and attach the hinges on the left side. Refer to the Door Reversal Procedure section of the manual.
Can I install the dryer in a closet?
Yes, provided you respect minimum clearances: 25 mm (1 in) on sides, 127 mm (5 in) rear, 610 mm (24 in) above, and 51 mm (2 in) front. Venting must be to the outside. The closet door must have two unobstructed air openings totaling at least 465 cm².
Why are clothes still damp after the cycle?
Check that the lint filter is not clogged, the vent duct is not blocked, and the exterior vent flap opens freely. Avoid mixing heavy items (towels) with light ones (sheets). If the load is too small, add a few towels to improve tumbling.
How to activate child lock?
Press and hold the Temp. and Dryness buttons simultaneously for three seconds. An indicator lights up. To deactivate, repeat the same action. When child lock is active, only the Power button remains functional.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

MIDEA MLE47R5BWW - Electrical Shock Hazard - 1

All U.S. models are produced for a 3-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION.

The dryer frame is grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. A 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTION is required for new or remodeled construction, mobile homes, or if local codes do not permit grounding through neutral conductor. If the 4-wire system is used, the dryer frame cannot be grounded to the neutral conductor at the terminal block. Refer to the “Electric Requirements” section on page 16 for 3-WIRE or 4-WIRE SYSTEM CONNECTIONS.

Remove the terminal block cover plate.

Insert the power cord with a UL-listed strain relief through the hose provided in the cabinet near the terminal block. - A strain relief must be used.

Do not loosen the nuts already installed on the terminal block. Be sure they are tight. Use a 3/8" (1 cm) deep-well socket.

LEVEL THE DRYER

To ensure that the dryer provides the optimal drying performance, it must be leveled. To minimize vibration, noise, and unwanted movement, the floor must be a perfectly level, solid surface.

- Adjust the leveling feet only as much as necessary to level the dryer. Extending the leveling feet more than necessary can cause the dryer to vibrate.

MIDEA MLE47R5BWW - LEVEL THE DRYER - 1

text_image level loosen lock Adjustable legs

POWER ON

Make sure all gas connections (Gas Models only), exhaust and electrical connections are complete. Plug in your dryer.

FINAL CHECK

  • Make sure the dryer is plugged into an electrical outlet and is properly grounded.
  • The exhaust ductwork is hooked up and the joints are taped.
  • A plastic flexible duct CAN NOT BE USED.
  • Use rigid or stiff-walled flexible metal vent material.
  • The dryer is leveled and is sitting firmly on the floor.
  • Gas models - the gas is turned on with no gas leakage.
  • Start your dryer to confirm that it runs, heats, and shuts off.

MIDEA MLE47R5BWW - FINAL CHECK - 1

CAUTION

The burner may not ignite initially due to air in the gas line. Allowing your dryer to operate on a heat setting will purge the line. If the gas does not ignite within 5 minutes, turn your dryer off and wait 5 minutes. Be sure the gas supply to your dryer has been turned on. In order to confirm the gas ignition, check the exhaust for heat.

DRYER CARE

MIDEA MLE47R5BWW - DRYER CARE - 1

WARNING

- Certain internal parts are intentionally not grounded and may present a risk of electric shock only during servicing. Service Personnel – Do not contact the following parts while the appliance is energized: inlet valve, control board and temperature-regulating thermistor (located on blower housing).

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CONTROL PANEL

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
  • Do not spray cleaners directly on the panel.
  • The control panel finish may be damaged by some laundry pretreatment soil and stain remover products. Apply such products away from your dryer and wipe up any spills or overspray immediately.

STAINLESS STEEL OR ANODIZED DRUM

  • To clean the stainless steel or anodized drum, use a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner suitable for stainless steel and anodized surfaces.
  • Remove the cleaner residue and dry with a clean cloth.

DRYER EXTERIOR

  • Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive substances.
  • Protect the surface from sharp objects.
  • Do not place any heavy or sharp objects or a detergent box on the dryer. Keep them in a separate storage box. This may scratch or damage the top cover of the dryer.
  • Since the entire dryer has a high-gloss finish, the surface can be scratched or damaged.
  • Avoid scratching or damaging the surface when using the dryer.

DRYER EXHAUST SYSTEM

  • Should be inspected and cleaned yearly to maintain optimum performance.
  • Disconnect the exhaust duct from the dryer and from the exhaust hood (at the exhaust outlet) outside of the building.
  • Check the interior of the duct and remove any lint accumulation.
  • Be sure that lint is removed from the exhaust hood. Lint may collect in the exhaust hood so that the flappers or louvers will not open or close completely.

  • After cleaning the exhaust hood, check that the flapper or louvers move freely.

  • Reassemble the exhaust duct and hood, checking that the joints are secure and sealed.
  • Operate the dryer and verify that the exhaust air is not obstructed in the vent and that there are no leaks in the system.
  • The outside exhaust hood should be cleaned more frequently to ensure proper operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

CHECK THESE SOLUTIONS IF YOUR DRYER...

If your dryer has any of the following problems, you can check the solutions listed below before making a service call. This will help you save time and money.

Problem Solution
The unit doesn’t start.Make sure the door is latched shut.Be sure the power cord is plugged into a live electrical outlet.Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.Press the Start/Pause button again if the door is opened during the cycle.
The unit doesn’t heat.Check the home’s circuit breaker and fuses.Select a heat setting other than Air fluff and check that the Temp selection is not on “No heat”On a gas dryer, check that the gas supply is on.Clean the lint filter and exhaust duct.Dryer may have moved into the cool-down process of the cycle.
Doesn’t dry.Check all of the above, plus...Be sure the exhaust hood outside the home can open and close freely.Check exhaust system for lint buildup. Ducting should be inspected and cleaned annually.Use a 4” rigid metal exhaust duct.Do not overload. 1 wash load = 1 dry load.Sort heavy items from lightweight items.Large, bulky items like blankets or comforters may require repositioning to ensure even drying.Load may be too small to tumble properly. Add a few towels.
The unit is noisy.Check the load for objects such as coins, loose buttons, nails, broken zips, etc. Remove promptly.It is normal to hear the dryer gas valve or heating element cycle on and off during the drying cycle.Be sure the dryer is leveled properly as outlined in the installation instruction.It is normal for the dryer to hum due to the high velocity of air moving through the dryer drum and exhaust system.
Clothes are unevenly dried.Seams, pockets, and other similarly heavy areas may not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level. This is normal.Select the Extra Dry setting if desired.If one heavy item is dried with a lightweight load, such as one towel with sheets, it is possible that the heavy item will not be completely dry when the rest of the load has reached the selected dryness level.Sort heavy items from lightweight items for best drying results.
Shuts off before load is dry.Dryer load is too small. Add more items or a few towels and restart the cycle.Dryer load is too large. Remove some items and restart the dryer.
The unit has a special odor.Household odors from painting, varnishing, strong cleaners, etc. may enter the dryer with surrounding room air. This is normal as the dryer draws the air from surrounding air space of the dryer locations.When these odors linger in the air, ventilate the room completely before using the dryer.
Odors remain in clothing after refreshFabrics containing strong odors should be washed utilizing desired wash cycle.
Garments still wrinkled after Wrinkle-preventSmall loads of 1 to 4 items work best.Load fewer garments. Load similar-type garments.
Lint on clothesClean lint filter before every cycle.Some fabrics are lint producers (for example, a fuzzy white cotton towel) and they should be dried separately from clothes that arew lint trappers (for example, a pair of black linen pants).Divide larger loads into smaller loads for drying.Check pockets thoroughly before washing and drying clothes.
