Midea Washer Error Code E35

E35 means the control board has detected a short circuit in the temperature sensor located on the water heater. A shorted sensor sends a near-zero resistance signal that the board cannot use to safely regulate heating, so it disables the heater as a precaution. The washer will continue to operate through wash cycles but will not heat the water until the fault is resolved.

A power reset may temporarily clear the error display, but the code will return as soon as the control board checks the temperature sensor again and detects the short circuit condition. A permanent fix requires correcting the underlying fault, whether that means replacing the sensor, repairing the wiring, or cleaning corroded connections.

The E35 fault is not immediately dangerous. The control board disables the heater specifically to prevent uncontrolled heating without reliable temperature feedback, which is a protective response. However, the underlying wiring or component fault should be addressed promptly to prevent any potential for further electrical deterioration in the heater circuit.

Yes, the washer will complete wash cycles normally aside from the water not being heated. This means cycles that depend on warm or hot water, such as sanitize or heavy-duty settings, will not perform as intended. It is safe to continue using the machine for cold-water cycles while you arrange a repair, but laundry results may be affected.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If only the temperature sensor needs replacement, parts typically range from $15 to $50 and the repair is relatively straightforward. If wiring harness repair or control board replacement is needed, total costs including labor can range from $100 to $300 or more. Getting a diagnosis first will clarify which components are actually at fault.
