Google search is your friend!

Anyway, mine was on the list (less than one year old, from Costco), filled out the webform immediately after the recall, they sent me a link for a photo of cord cut, did that in a week and in three weeks I got the virtual debit card.

As an engineering (ECE&CS) professor, I decided to read up on the LCDI (Leakage current detection interface) protection they use. This is what I learned and just for information.

It is for cord damage and current leaking (from Line or neutral) out of the conductors leading to quick fire (cause: dog chewing, people stepping on it or AC sitting on the cord, you name it; A simple caution perhaps a better choice but this is first world with first world solutions). I found two small sensor wires outside of L and N conductor insulating jackets and each wrapped in something like aluminum foils. These two sensor lines and sensing/actuator electronic circuit are used at the plug end to sense any leakage and trip the circuit. At the device end (the AC or whatever), these sensor wires seem to be not connected (I also kind of guessed this from looking at AC replacement cords available at HD or Amazon as I did not want to spend energy opening up the AC unit. They are PITA) and simply shorted at the device end and sealed with electrical tape or equivalent.

I came across a circuit schematic by a tear down of the LCDI plug but that diagram seems to be little different from the one used by Midea (everyone has their own patented circuit). But again, I did not open my LCDI plug. Too much unnecessary work for this senior citizen

Anybody going thru the recall of older units beware Midea is dragging their feet on approving the submissions. And DON'T throw away old unit until they approve the payment.

I forgot to add Midea gave the option for a credit or the repair. I went for the repair as I really like the unit. They indicated that they were going to send the repair items first and then the repair person would come, however the repair items (drain and so forth) I did not receive. When the Repair service called me they said they have all the items so I should not worry.

Just noticed this as well while shopping for a replacement for one of the ones I have that I'll get a refund from Midea on. That one also happened to have been slightly damaged in shipping, and while it works, I'd rather take advantage of the recall to make sure I have one that works well for a long time. Bought a second one to replace the mechanical 5K in my home office since the price is right.

Excellent price -- almost the lowest ever! I'm sure Midea is desperate to clear out their unsold stock since they were unable to sell it during the peak AC sale period.

I don't use these anymore since I upgraded to a army of mini-split systems but they work REALLY well, quiet and effective, way better than traditional window units.

So glad these are back on for sale. I love my 10K model and have never had the water build-up issue. Going to be able to replace my other window unit with this.

Can you describe how the process works? I'm about to apply for the recall. Do they give me credit to buy a new one or something?

I filed online because Midea's phone system wasnt working when I called. I got a call out of nowhere like 3 weeks later that a repair person is coming to my house this week to fix it. So far I give it to Midea.

$10 cheaper at Home Depot with the military discount, comes out even cheaper if you check out through AAFES or the NEX.
Edit: pricing

I own one of these and they are much more quiet than the old style window air conditioners.

Just call them. They will send a technician to repair it.

Ours came pretty quickly. About 3 weeks from initial submission to refund

This says, "update model" and Amazon says I've not bought this one, but the "U" one I did buy from Midea was recalled. They were paying people off for them, but mine had quit months ago and they paid me off instead of repair back before the recall.

I did like it while it worked.
