Diagnosing Haier Refrigerator

[@quinnstoycarousel9518]

Update. I got the replacement relay, placed it, and it worked. That is, until I unplugged it to place the cooler. I retested everything and everything was great. So, I watched a video of another fridge repairman, who opened the relay, to explain the long term damage issue of the actual resistor. So, I opened the relay, placed the new relay's disk into the old relay housing, plugged it in, and works!!! I think a video taking apart the relay housing to show the damage tot he resistor would be valuable too!! Just a helpful hint. Both you and the other repairman really helped.

Hello can you tell me where I can find the parts for my Haier or where you found the starter relay or the overload protector? Thanks

[@frankvan228]

Thanks for your video. My 15 Year old Haier stopped working after I moved it to a different room. I got the starter relay through ebay for six bucks. Took five minutes to put it in and fridge is working great.

Hi bro, what do you think could be the problem with my Logik fridge freezer if it works for some hours but then shuts off and won't turn back on again until I disconnect it from the plug for some hours then when plug in again it works? I've replaced the starter relay and the defrost timer? I don't understand what could be the issue

My fridge doesn't cool enough. Takes a long time for the freezer but it freezes. Fridge is just cool enough on the highest setting what do you recommend I should check?

[@oswegofalls3795]

LOL, I was holding my breath as you were trying to put the cover back on waiting for the shock. Would have been nice if you had showed the ohms meter and the readings. This part is often over looked, I have a meter but would not know the correct reading.

[@theotherguy3083]

Oswego Falls every brand of compressor have different ohm value. as long as the Run and Start winding values, add together equate the value of the common winding, the compressor is good.

[@einna1223]

Great video! What are the normal/ functional resistance ranges for the start relay, compressor, and overload? Thanks!

[@theotherguy3083]

wow. . . this is an old video. I already forgot about it. Basically when you measure ohms on the common, start, and run poles, the common pole should read the highest. Both ohms values fore poles start and run should equate or be closed the value of the common pole.

[@billybassman21]

Does it have a capacitor?

[@andrewb8474]

Just checked and I have the same problem with the starter relay. I was wondering where you got the universal relay? The old relay has P6R8MC OR0411

[@theotherguy3083]

Andrew B, Thanks for asking. What you can do is take the relay to an appliance parts store and match it with one. The problem is that some parts stores are very reluctant to sell you any if you are not a contractor. The reason is because they don't want unqualified people to hurt themselves via electrocution or anything similar. If all else fail, you can order one from Ebay. Here is a site to one: Check out this item I found on eBay: pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=331328926827&alt=web Please becareful and be safe touching electrical components. Unplug your appliances before working on them.

Can a bad overload switch prevent the fridge from running? I replaced the relay and compressor readings are 6, 19, and 22 roughly.

[@IshMotorparts]

How many wires connected to the overload protector?? I got exact one like that but the wires was unplugged

[@pgrantweb]

[@theotherguy3083]

When you ohm, you are looking for an open circuit.

[@LadyGoza]

Hi, I just bought a used Haier HA10TG21SS refrigerator (seller said it was 2 years old). I plugged it in about 9 hours after it was delivered. It was making a lot of noise in the upper right rear side next to the freezer part. I can't describe the noise. It wasn't popping, and it didn't really sound like gurgling. But I think I might've plugged it in too soon. I read the manual afterwards, and it said to wait 24 hours. Do you know what could be making the noise?

[@MrEltinieblas]

I just replaced both the overload protector and the start relay but the compressor doesn't start. It just gets hot. Any ideas? Thanks.

[@theotherguy3083]

ohm the poles to the body. If there is reading, chances are, your compressor is shorted. If there is no reading ohm the poles. If there is no reading on one of the poles, chances are you have a short winding.

[@lintonarrowood9892]

I have a Haier 10.1 cu-ft refrigerator. The refrigerator is cooling properly, however, the freezer is not getting cold enough. Any thoughts?

[@theotherguy3083]

Linton Arrowood there are various things that can be wrong with your unit. You could have a clogged drier filter, clogged capillary tube, or low on Freon.

[@phantomshtter]

Thanks!

[@robertllawrencejr5503]

Thanks for your video. I have a freezer that is not cooling enough and I think that this is going to help me. When you take your readings with the ohm meter are you looking for a certain value or for continuity? Thanks

[@theotherguy3083]

Robert Lawrence different compressor has different values. thus what i am looking for is the common, run, and start poles. both the run and start poles ohm readings should equate the common pole when you add them together. if not, something is wrong with the compressor windings. If they have no readings, chances are the windings on that particular pole is open. which means you have a dead compressor

My haier freezer will just have the green light on but just clicks, what could it be?

[@mattcasdorph]

I'm having a problem with my Haier, I'm going to be looking online for answers to, what mine is doing is kicking on for like 5 seconds and kicks off, does it every few minutes, what is weird is the fridge is in the safe zone temps but the freezer is above the safe zone temps, freezer is hitting about 22 degrees when its supposed to be below 10. The fridge is only a couple years old and I figure my warranty has expired anyway so I may as well do it myself..

[@bigpapa3348]

I have a HAIER hc27sw20rb mini fridge in my semi truck. I hear it click on and then it clicks off about a second later and it will not cool anymore. Could this be the solution to the problem? Also while it's plugged in the motor feels really warm I don't know if that's supposed to be that way

[@theotherguy3083]

Big Papa I could be put of Freon. However, before coming to that conclusion, I'd check to see if the compressor is shorted.

[@skylercolwell1]

What start relay did you use? I was going to get a universal one but they come in different resistance values.

[@SpamchuckersCastle]

mine took a few days to come back on after we flipped the breaker from running to many things at the same time, it did return to normal, but the next time the breaker got flipped it never came back on again, any ideas? is there a reset or fuse?

[@theotherguy3083]

cheeseballpictures hello, if you have a multi meter you can follow the directions here to diagnose it. there may be multiple reasons why your freezer died. it could be that your filter drier is plugged. I would touch the compressor as you connect your device to see if it comes on. if it comes on, you should hear a wining from the motor.

[@theotherguy3083]

arismommy2 A clogged drier filter is when the filter that filters your oil and Freon can no longer filter because of debris. Similar to a oil filter in the car. BTW, if it smells like something leaked inside, it usually is. Perhaps when someone was dethawing the freezer, they may have punctured the evaporator inside. The evaporator is that thin little piece of aluminum that always seems to ice up when your unit is plugged into the wall.

[@theotherguy3083]

Luis Brenes I am sorry, how did you want it to be explained? Basically all you need to know is the value of ohms on the Run and Start windings added together need to equal to the common winding. If they aren't equal to the common winding ohms reading, then something is wrong with the those windings.

[@ethanwright8905]

I have a millimeter with several ohms settings, Do I put it on 200 or 200k? Also do the two top prongs add right on, or near the number as 1 top 1 bottom prong. Two top one way is 20.2 an to top the other way is 20.2 Then one top one bottom is 11.3 + one top one bottom the other way is 9.4 11.3+9.4=?

[@theotherguy3083]

ethan wright every compressor will have different sets of values when you ohm the windings. What you need to keep in mind is this, the first 2 windings that you ohmed resulted in the value of 20, the other resulted in 11.3 and 9.4. when you add the 2 least values together, you should not get less than 20 ohms. If they are less than 20 ohms, your compressor is dead. meaning you have a shorted winding. those small numbers should equal the highest valued number. as it stands, yours compressor is good. I also made a video showing folks how to determine the common, run, and Start Windings. you can look in my video logs by going into my KZbin channel
