Why Is My Midea MAD50C1AWS Running but Not Collecting Water?
Exact model: Midea MAD50C1AWS
Safety: Disconnect the relevant power source and isolate moving, hot or pressurized components before service.
A.
Start with the accessible checks
What this suggests: Confirm the unit is in a humidity/temperature range where water should condense.
What to do
- Set a target below actual room humidity, verify current humidity with a separate meter, clean the filter and check whether the compressor engages.
- Confirm water is not being routed out through a gravity hose and the rear drain cap is fitted when using the bucket.
- During a humid-room test, the evaporator should cool and condensate reach the bucket.
Still not fixed? Continue to the next check.

If the problem remains after the first checks
What this suggests: A running fan with no bucket water can be normal in dry air, a drain-routing problem, or a failed cooling cycle.
What to do
- If cooling never develops, investigate compressor operation and sealed refrigeration system professionally; avoid declaring a leak without measurement.
Confirm the repair
Water collects in the intended container under a genuinely humid test and humidity declines. The reported same-model “fan runs but no water” case did not establish a successful internal repair.
