Review of Midea air conditioners: error codes, comparison of inverter models

The renowned manufacturer Midea began its history in 1968 as a small workshop that produced plastic parts. The founder of the existing corporation was He Xiangjian, who to this day is considered the honorary director of the concern. If earlier air conditioning equipment was used only in offices, today there is a huge amount of universal climate control equipment that can be easily and simply mounted in small apartments and private houses.

It is to such equipment that the Midea wall-mounted split system belongs, the description of which is disclosed in this informational article.

The main lineup and distinctive features

Since the company at whose facilities Midea air conditioners have been produced for several decades has been occupying a leading position in the markets of the CIS countries, this has significantly increased its range, among which you can find both budget options for an apartment (for example, MSMA-07HRN1-Q ION), portable monoblocks for office (MPPD-09CRN1) or duct devices for industrial needs (model MTB-60HRFN1).

Midea produces the following types of climatic equipment:

  • Wall split systems (MS12F-09HRN1, MSMA-12HRN1-Q, MSMA-18HRN1-Q).
  • Mobile air conditioner (MPPD-12ERN1, MPN2-12ERN1, MPPD-09ERN1).
  • Window monoblocks (MWF-07CR, MWF-18CR, MWF-09CR).
  • Column or cabinet air conditioners (MFGA-48ARDN1, MFM-60ARN1, MFGA-60ARDN1).
  • Floor (ceiling) complex (MUE-60HRFN1, MUB-60HRN1, MUB-24HRN1).
  • Duct multisplit systems for industry (MHB-96HRN1 / MOV-96HN1-C, MHG-60HDRN, MHG-60HRN1).
  • Cassette split systems (MCD-48HRFN1, MCA-18HR, MCD-36HRDN1).
  • Multizone split systems (MDV Digital Scroll, MDV DC invertor).

Wall mounted air conditioning systems

The wall-mounted Midea air conditioner is often used for domestic needs (in the nursery, living room, kitchen, etc.). They are easy to operate, reliable in operation, easy to install and have an affordable price category. It is also worth noting that thanks to the wide range of models that the Midea brand is represented, you can choose a device not only for an apartment or household premises, but also for an average office or cottage. Air conditioners of this class can be turned on for heating, ventilation or air conditioning.

Midea wall-mounted air conditioners have achieved such success due to the following differences from competitors:

  • Inverter air conditioners developed on the Midea Global platform (Mission DC series) meet high efficiency requirements (A ++) and contain a Wi-Fi module as standard.
  • The indoor unit is characterized by an ergonomic, minimalist appearance.
  • Presence of the "Early start" function, thanks to which, when the device is scheduled to start using a timer, all systems will be started in advance to prepare the air conditioner for a soft start.
  • High power, thanks to which you can easily heat or cool an area of ​​up to 110 m2 (MSG-36HR).

Among all the variety of such systems, we will pay special attention to the 3 most common models of wall-mounted split systems from Midea.

Comparison of characteristics of popular models

According to the table above, wall-mounted models of Medea's climatic equipment differ not only in the area for heating or air conditioning, but also in the presence of additional functions and the ability to work at extreme temperatures.

Window conditioners Midea

A portable window air conditioner is mounted in office premises where, for whatever reason, there is no need (temporary or rented space) or the possibility (the supporting structures must not be disturbed) to install stationary wall devices with an outdoor unit.

According to their characteristics, they are in no way inferior to wall-mounted equipment, the only difference is the method of installation.

The most popular series of this equipment is Midea "MWF". These air conditioners have the following characteristics:

  • The design of the device contains easily removable grilles, thanks to which access to the coarse filter is facilitated.
  • All air conditioners are equipped with a "Sliding Chassis" thanks to which the device can be easily removed from the niche for maintenance.
  • Window-type air conditioners work either to recirculate air or deliver fresh air from outside.
  • Able to work only in the "Cooling" mode.

Cassette multi-split systems VRF (VRV)

Such systems are permanently installed in medium and large facilities (offices, sales areas, exhibition centers, small production facilities, etc.).

Cassette air conditioner Midea allows you to effectively control the microclimate by creating a multi split system. With this function, up to 6 indoor units can be connected to one outdoor unit.

According to the information of the manufacturer Midea, this type of semi-industrial and industrial equipment is divided into:

  • Cassette (MCA, MCD).
  • Cassette inverter type (MCA3, MCD Invertor).

Distinctive features

  • Effective work in rooms with high ceilings (up to 6m).
  • Installation of the device into a stretch ceiling, or Armstrong type ceiling ”.
  • Application of "180 ° technology" in inverter conversion, which prevents the formation of voltage surges.
  • The presence of a panel with "lift mechanism" (MBQ-02D5). This technology allows the grill to be lowered by 4 meters to replace or clean the filter.
  • Air distribution 3600.

Instructions for the control panel and air conditioners Midea

To control the parameters of the system, you need a remote control for the Midea air conditioner. It allows you to:

  • Fully adjust the automatic operation of the equipment.
  • Set the direction of the air flow.
  • Turn on "Night mode".
  • Set the required room temperature.
  • Carry out self-cleaning and self-diagnostics of the air conditioner.

In order to fully understand the functionality of the system control, an instruction for Midea air conditioners (operation manual) was developed at the factory. It can be found in the basic supply of air conditioning equipment.

Error codes for air conditioners Midea

This section presents the main errors and their decoding, which will be displayed on the indoor unit of the air conditioner when they are detected by the self-diagnostic system of the device. The information on the malfunction is contained in the passport of the device.
