Supposedly, Midea was planning to repair (fix) the new units and start selling them again.

They certainly not planning to go out of business and have to make money to refund the recalled units.

They have a fix. They will send a technical out to remedy the issue. Or you can order a DIY kit. Or you can return.

I have two units that I've been using summers for 2 years and no mold issues. I install them tiled back more than instructed and I think they may help with the mold issue. Just FYI

The Clearview has issues too. Because of its shape, it needs a condensate pump on the inside to pump the condensate to the outside unit--if it fails, water ponds on the inside. Google GE Clearview condensate pump issues.

If amazon is selling them again then the problem has been fixed. The government wouldn't allow it otherwise

It's been fixed. Just make sure it is tilted appropriately and there's that new hole in the bottom of it.

If it is one of the impacted models you can elect for a repair or a refund (12K unit is 480 dollars).

If you want to repair it yourself, watch a YouTube video on where to drill a drain hole then use rustoleum spray paint to prevent corrosion in the area you drilled.

I have two units, always tilted, plenty of rain, no mold. Just be sure to check it occasionally (like any window AC) for residual water after a storm. You can do this by just popping the front cover, you need to do that when cleaning the filter as well.

If you live somewhere that's always humid though, you may want to do additional research into a model that better fits your climate to be safe.
