Dishwasher boogaloo
Ok. Two runs through the dishwasher didn’t clean things well, most noticeably the cutlery.So I’ve removed all dishes and the rack. Took out the bottom grill and filter, disassembled everything for a scrub with a child’s toothbrush and rinsed. Every single hole or outlet has been cleaned with a pipe cleaner. The outlet hose was removed and had water run through it to confirm it wasn’t blocked, then reattached and the metal ring retightened.
I’ve started it empty with no soap and watched water flow unimpeded out of all the holes. No loss of pressure. Light bubbling of the water. I have the hose in a cup to catch some for whisking after.
And if this troubleshooting doesn’t work I’m tempted to put Midea out on her lazy arse. I haven’t really found this machine to be helpful. On top of the expense it’s mostly been a massive hassle and dragged chores out.
Added to that I’ve found cockroaches love the moisture and some are nesting behind it. It’s very easy to spill water while filling so you would have to move the heavy bulk and wipe the drips behind every time, and there’s not much you can do about having to leave the door open after use.
I seriously regret the purchase. It isn’t suiting my needs and I don’t like it.
Maybe you got a shit one. I don't like how you can't leave it ajar so I put a magnet there.

Yeah I don’t get it. Either the reviews were padded or I got a lemon.
I went to go leave a review and they’re no longer being sold there so that’s weird
