I lost my manual but need to know if when running the heater do I still need to have the exhaust tube? Also I went from cool to heat for the first time and it blew a little water out onto the floor.
Hello @NexusPhotografi, thank you for your question. When using the heat mode, you will need to connect the exhaust hose and use the insulator to cover it. To better understand and resolve the issue, please contact us at digitalsupport@midea.com. Have a great day!
Hello Sori. Sorry to hear you are having trouble finding the video you are looking for. Please send us a message on Facebook at m.me/mideaamerica or via email at DigitalSupport.midea.com with the model number of the unit you are trying to install and we can give you the correct video and or documentation needed. Have a great day!
This youtube video will show you how to install it. th-cam.com/video/-1hYMriTNvo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L_b_c70ccowBAKQ1 Because the unit is self evaporating in cool mode, if you run it ONLY in COOL mode you shouldn't have to drain the unit at all. Scroll down towards the end of comments and you will see others who have had success with this.
is there supposed to be a covering over the exhaust tube? or it’s it supposed to just be open in the window? im scared about rain water or bugs getting in
Hello, Gillian Derus. There is an air exhaust adapter that you insert into the hose's exhaust to prevent anything from going inside the unit itself. For the user manual, you can contact us via Facebook at m.me/mideaamerica. Have a nice day.
The model I have is RACPT1412HVWRU, can you link me to the part number for this? I know what they are referring to and I have the same concern. The manual, MIDEA videos and everything else I've seen doesn't indicate that there's any sort of a screen or exhaust adapter that actually prevents things from crawling into the exhaust tube. I know what the general adapter is, the thing with the "duo" inlet/outlet but that has no screen on it.
Had mine running a lot in the past when I had ferrets, but now no pets, and it still smells like ferrets when the air blows out of it. Is there any way to clean it beyond the filters to help get rid of that old pet smell?
Unfortunately this video tells me nothing. I want to get a 10,000 BTU but there's something about needing to install it on a phone app which I have no cell service or wi fi. i cannot find any info on whether it has just a remote or not.
Hello @muffs55mercury61, we're sorry that you found the video use-less. The app is optional, and the unit comes with a remote control. Have a great day!
I just purchased the unit and I've been trying to find out the recommended time for letting it settle before turning it on. I've download and read Midea's manual for the unit I purchased and nowhere in it does it mention the time the unit should sit before turning on. Most online "experts" suggest 24 hours while most other manufacturers manuals recommend a minimum of 4 hours. I'm curious has this ever been test to determine the actual number of hours or is this a guess? The draining instructions are seriously flawed because it assumes everyone has a floor level drain such that in a shower stall, when most don't. The floor level drain will have to be elevated for the majority of users, unless they're okay with unhooking it, wheeling it to bathroom, and lifting it into a tub, draining it, and then wheeling it back to be hooked up again. After use for some time, some units require draining every few hours (varies), and your instructions then become not only flawed but downright impractical. So as I see it the only way to resolve this is to install the unit on a solid flat platform with at least 6 inches of elevation and a large enough container to catch the drainage.
We're sorry for any confusion regarding your unit's initial setup and draining. So that we can better assist with your questions, please email us today at DigitalSupport@midea.com.
@@MideaAmerica No need. It was delivered early afternoon on Thursday, I unboxed it, and then let it sit overnight before turning it on. It seems to working fine so far. I would like to add that someone need to review your manual and update a few points. In the long run it will save you time, and result in greater buyer satisfaction.
We have been In the same boat as, looking for a better solution to drain the midea portable AC and it always water spilled everywhere and messing some of the furniture already. Thank you for pointing this issues out to Midea as they need to find us customers better ways for this.
In dry mode, do I need the hose connect all the time or will a reservoir fill up and i can drain after? I ran this for a few hours in my bedroom and dont have a drain nearby except for a pan or jug and this accumulates rather quickly.
Does the unit operate at ambient temperature more than 35 C° the employee said that it will disconnect if the ambient temperature outside the room reaches 38 C° and it will be useless he also said that it is an auxiliary AC used with central ACs not used single Is that true ??
Hello @MohamedAtif9, Thank you for your question. This unit's operating temperature range is 16°C-35°C. If the outside temperature goes beyond this range, either above or below, the unit is likely to malfunction or switch off. Have a great day!
Hi @danielrogers2026, We advise against opening the grill of this unit. Instead, we recommend contacting a licensed technician who can correctly dismantle and remove it for you. Have a great day!
I have this same model in the video, it has never given us issues. This season we went to install as usual and it won’t turn on at all. There is an initial glitch flicker when I press the reset button but it doesn’t turn on. Any tips?

What is the panel dimensions? I’m looking to install this with my sliding patio door and need to purchase additional panels online. It would help if you could share the dimensions of the panel.
Hi, Dynamic Multimedia. Thanks for your question! There are typically three drain locations on our portable ACs that correspond to different modes. The highest drain point would be for dry mode, the middle will be for heat mode (if applicable), and the bottom will be for any condensate that could accumulate during cool mode (rare but can happen in high-humidity environments). Have a good day!
Hello. We are sorry to hear you are having trouble finding the foam. You can find additional foam on encompass.com. Place the model number in the search box and all parts available for that unit will show. Please contact us at DigitalSupport@Midea.com for further assistance. Thank you.
