Repair planning
L4 cost planning: Accessible airflow cleaning is usually €0. A qualified fan or circulation diagnosis is generally planned within €110–€250 before parts.
L4 time plan: 10–25 minutes for the documented L4 airflow or obstruction check; professional fan/circulation diagnosis commonly takes 30–90 minutes.

- Do not run an extra test cycle after the source tells you to stop or arrange service for L4
Preventive maintenance
- 1Follow the exact Midea maintenance schedule for the refrigerator and keep the model, serial number, and service history available
- 2If L4 begins recurring despite the documented maintenance, stop repeating the same action and request exact-model diagnosis
