Safety risk
The Austrian consumer-protection portal vki.at independently republishes the same recall with the identical fire mechanism, confirming the manufacturer notice is not an isolated page.
What to check. This second independent source confirms the recall is real and widely published. Treat any 2019 Mobile 35C as potentially affected and verify the serial number before running it.

Midea's official support FAQ documents that its portable air conditioners throw E1/E2 codes for room and evaporator temperature sensor failures; a repair-shop source (smartfehler.de) confirms the same E1/E2 mapping specifically for the Mobile 35C platform.
What to check. If the unit shows E1 or E2, the temperature sensor is the likely failed part; Midea advises checking for obstructions, restarting, and if the code persists, unplugging and calling service. Sensor replacement is the typical fix.

According to the official Midea manual for the Mobile 35C platform, error code E2 indicates a fault in the evaporator temperature sensor (E1 = room temperature sensor). This is useful for an owner troubleshooting an E2 display on this specific model, and the source warns that older generic guides mislabel E2 as the room sensor.
What to check. If the unit shows E2, first check that air intake/outlet are unobstructed and restart; if the error persists, stop use and contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician rather than opening the unit.

Owner reviews on digitec report the unit intermittently losing WiFi connection and describe the companion app as not usable, though the unit itself cools and runs fine. This is a low-severity reliability/connectivity complaint, not a safety issue.
What to check. If remote control via app matters to you, expect possible WiFi dropouts; the unit still operates via its IR remote. This is a minor convenience issue, not a reason to avoid the model on safety grounds.

Owner reviews on digitec/galaxus report the WiFi connection drops periodically and the companion app is not usable; a Symcon home-automation thread shows users struggling to get the Mobile 35C's API token, corroborating weak connectivity control.
What to check. Expect the smart-control features to be flaky; if you only need basic cooling, the unit works, but do not rely on app-based scheduling or remote control.

Kriko reads a listing and tells you which of these apply to that exact product. It runs on your computer, needs no account and is free.
These reports come from the pages linked under each item: owner forums, repair guides and workshops. They are not a diagnosis of any one unit, and a careful check of the one you are buying still applies.
