A Midea top load washer in Alliance was giving error code E2 when draining, forcing the homeowner to manually empty it when the cycle wouldn’t complete. Our diagnosis revealed a failed drain pump that needed replacement to restore normal operation.
The Problem
The customer reported that their Midea top load washer gives error code E2 when draining. They could get it to go sometimes and sometimes had to empty it manually when the drain cycle failed.
Diagnosis
The E2 error code on this Midea washer indicates a drain system malfunction. Testing confirmed the drain pump had failed, preventing consistent water removal and triggering the error code that stopped the cycle.

Is It Worth Repairing?
Midea washers offer decent value for the price point, and a drain pump replacement is typically worthwhile on units that aren’t approaching 10+ years old. This repair addresses a core function and should provide several more years of reliable service.
Maintenance Tips for Midea Washers
- Check and clean the drain hose connection quarterly to prevent clogs that stress the pump
- Use HE detergent in proper amounts — excess suds can overwork drainage components
- Run a cleaning cycle monthly to prevent residue buildup in the drain system
