Most of what goes wrong with the MED5100DW sits behind the front panel at the blower housing, which is why a diagnosis here is worth more than a guess. Trailing characters after the model number identify the production run, and the rating plate is what settles which parts fit.
Owner-level checks stop at clearing the lint screen every load and having the duct swept; anything behind a panel involves stored energy, water or gas and belongs to a technician, and a repair attempted beyond that point can put warranty coverage at risk if it is not carried out by an authorized technician.
