Haier Freezers - Page 9 - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support

Hi,
First, i will advice you check if the compressor and fan works when you plug the freezer, from your explanation, the click sound seems to me it could be a faulty compressor. Before testing the compressor motor, unplug the freezer to avoid an
electrical shock hazard. Also, if the compressor uses a capacitor, it
may contain a lethal electrical charge. Do not touch the terminals until
you have discharged the capacitor. The problem could also be a relay problem,. The function of the start relay is to momentarily energize the start
winding in the compressor motor and then cut power to the start winding
as soon as the motor is running. Most of the start relays on modern compressors are solid state and use a
special material whose resistance increases with temperature. So, as
current flows through the relay and the relay heats up, its resistance
increases to the point that the start winding is isolated from the rest
of the circuit.
A common failure of these relays is that the solid state material
"cooks" and breaks up, staying open and thus never allowing the start
winding in the compressor motor to energize. The end result is that the
compressor tries to start, usually you'll hear a humming noise, and
then, after a few seconds, the compressor's overload protector takes the
compressor offline with a loud CLICK.
Easy way to tell if the start relay is bad is by simply removing it
from the compressor's control pod and shaking it. If you hear any
rattling, it's fried.

Will a Black & Decker 1000 watt inverter run
Welcome to FixYa!
Yes the Black & Decker 1000 watt inverter is capable of running a small freezer as long as the freezer is not more that 1000 watt. Check the back of the freezer for the wattage.
If you are planning on hooking up other appliances, make sure that the total watt of the appliances including the freezer will not exceed 1000 watt.
1000W (Watt) = 1 KW (Kilowatt)
Thank you for using FixYa.
Have a great day.

Hello,
Fan problem is one of the most common reasons for the freezer to start failing, this
is called "frost free failure." Ice can build up on the evaporator coils
over time, and this ice builds up until it starts blocking the fan. The
fan is responsible for circulating cold air throughout the freezer, so
if it is blocked the freezer will not be able to freeze any food. You
can usually check this by removing an access panel in the back of the
freezer to inspect the coils. If ice is built up on the coils, a
hairdryer can assist in defrosting them.
It's also possible that
the fan is not running at all. If the fan is burned out or the motor
isn't running, cold air can't circulate through the freezer and
everything will melt. You can normally hear the fan motor switch on and
off from time to time. Listen for it and if you can't hear it coming on
for an extended period of time, the motor may need repair or
replacement. The wires connecting to the fan may be the problem,
preventing the fan from receiving electricity.
Several other problems could be keeping your freezer from freezing:
There
could be leaks in one or several of the hoses in the refrigerator,
which results in the cold air being lost instead of circulating properly
throughout the fridge and freezer.
If you have the freezer so
full that the cold air can't circulate, your food will thaw even though
the freezer isn't malfunctioning. Always leave some space open in the
freezer and try to not store food right up against the cooling vents.
The
thermostat might have shorted out, which means the freezer can't
accurately determine how cold it is. If this is the case, the
refrigerator would probably not be working, either.
If your
defrost drain becomes clogged, the water in the line will just refreeze
over and over again, which could damage the lines as well as the fan.
Always check the drain and make sure no sludge is building up in it if
you have a self-defrosting refrigerator.
Always try to keep the
freezer door closed for long periods of time. The more the door is
opened, the more warm air is let in and cold air is released. If the
door is opened frequently, the freezer could be warming faster than the
fridge can cool it, which will thaw your food.
Good luck.
Freezer not working or not getting cold and i
Cut everything off for a few minutes then turn it back on and listen for a click from the compressor relay as the compressor tries to start.
Is the compressor motor running.If no check starter/overload relay. The relay is a small usually black cube shaped electrical part plugged into the compressor or wired to it nearby. It may appear burnt or rattle when shaken if it's bad. The two connections should show continuity with an amp meter. If it's good then it's most likely the compressor causing the problem.
I moved from wa.state and upon connecting the
Hello,
There is a coil in the compressor which is making the compressor pump gas into the pipe thereby making the freezer cool. If this coil gets burnt, the compressor won't pump gas and the freezer won't get cold.
If the compressor is defective, and you don't have money to buy another one, you can open up the compressor, remove the coil and get it recoiled, then replace it back into the compressor.
There are two or more reasons that can cause this problem.
1. it is either the gas in the compressor has leaked when the freezer was being moved or 2. the pipe that run from the compressor to the freezer might be leaking.
So, turn on the freezer, look at the back, observe the pipe that runs from the compressor to the freezer.
Lastly, the thermostat can be a problem sometimes. The Thermostat might have been reduced to the lowest level unknowingly to you. Check the thermostat make sure it is increased to the highest as this will increase the temperature and make the freezer cool.
Good luck.
Compressor runs but freezer not getting cold
Have the gas checked. If the thermostat pick-up is frozen over that could result in the contents of the freezer not getting cold, but for that there would have to be a build up of ice on the sides of the freezer.
My freezer stop working and it was fairly new. i
