What the E37 error code actually means

Your Midea washer has detected a problem with the temperature sensor located at the air outlet inside the drum, which is used during the drying cycle. Because the machine cannot get a reliable temperature reading, it has shut down the drying function to keep things safe. The washing functions should still work, but you will need to diagnose or repair the sensor or its wiring before the dryer feature will operate again.

Questions people ask about E37

What does E37 mean on a Midea washer?
E37 on a Midea washer indicates that the drum drying outlet temperature sensor has failed or is sending an unreadable signal to the control board. As a safety measure, the machine disables the drying function when this fault is active. The washing functions of the machine are typically not affected. The fault needs to be diagnosed and repaired before the drying cycle can be used again.
Is it safe to keep using my Midea washer with an E37 error?
The washer's drying function will not operate while E37 is active, which actually prevents unsafe operation related to unmonitored outlet temperatures. Normal wash cycles should still be usable. However, running the machine with an unresolved sensor fault is not recommended long term, as the underlying cause could worsen over time.
Will resetting my Midea washer clear the E37 error code?
Performing a reset by unplugging the washer for a few minutes may temporarily clear the E37 code, but the error will return if the underlying fault is not repaired. The control board will detect the sensor fault again as soon as the drying cycle is initiated. A proper diagnosis and repair of the wiring or sensor is needed for a permanent fix.
Can I fix the E37 error myself?
A knowledgeable DIYer can often resolve this error by first inspecting the wiring harness connected to the outlet temperature sensor for visible damage, loose connectors, or corrosion. A multimeter can be used to test wire continuity and sensor resistance. If the sensor itself has failed, replacing it is a moderately involved repair that requires accessing the drum outlet area of the machine.
How much does it cost to repair an E37 error on a Midea washer?
If the issue is a loose connector or damaged wire, repair costs may be minimal, primarily covering your time or a basic service call fee ranging from around $50 to $100. If the temperature sensor needs replacement, parts typically range from $15 to $60 depending on availability, with professional labor adding $75 to $150 on top of that. A control board replacement, if required, would be significantly more expensive.
