We recently completed a washer repair in Lisbon, OH for a Midea front-loader that wouldn’t operate and was displaying an E64 error code. Our diagnosis revealed a visibly damaged motor control board that required replacement to restore normal operation.
The Problem
The customer reported that their Midea washer won’t operate and displaying e64 error code. The unit was completely non-functional when we arrived for the scheduled service call.
Diagnosis
Upon inspection, we found that the Motor Control Board was visibly damaged. This component controls the washer’s motor functions and when it fails, it prevents the entire wash cycle from operating properly, triggering the E64 error code.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: 17138100005703 — Inverter PCB (MCSCWD20W3)
- Work performed: Replaced the damaged motor control board
- Result: After replacing it, the washer is operating correctly. Spins, washes, fills and drains.
Is It Worth Repairing?
Midea washers are budget-friendly machines that can provide good value when properly maintained. A motor control board replacement on a relatively newer unit like this is typically worth doing, as it restores full functionality and these washers can deliver several more years of reliable service with the new component installed.
Maintenance Tips for Midea Washers
- Clean the door seal regularly to prevent moisture buildup that can affect electronic components
- Use HE detergent only and avoid overloading to reduce strain on the motor control system
- Leave the door slightly open after cycles to allow air circulation and prevent humidity damage to control boards
