Repair planning
Ed cost planning: The source-listed safety check is usually €0. €90–€220 is a typical Europe planning range for diagnosis before parts; it is not Midea pricing. Ask for separate diagnosis, parts, labor, and call-out lines on the quote.
Ed time plan: 5–10 minutes to document and isolate safely; 30–90 minutes is a typical diagnostic visit before any model-specific repair.

Ed parts decision: No component should be ordered from Ed alone. The documented fault area is “communication fault between the main board and display board”; the technician must identify the failed model-specific part and revision.
What not to do
- Do not open fixed panels, test live circuits, bypass protection, or keep operating the appliance after an urgent stop instruction
- Do not run an extra test cycle after the source tells you to stop or arrange service for Ed
Preventive maintenance
- 1Follow the exact Midea maintenance schedule for the dishwasher and keep the model, serial number, and service history available
- 2If Ed begins recurring despite the documented maintenance, stop repeating the same action and request exact-model diagnosis
