Haier Air Conditioner Error Codes: What to Do with Common Codes

Need help deciphering the error code on your Haier air conditioner? This page explains common Haier error codes, what they usually mean, and what you can safely check before calling a licensed technician.

If DIY troubleshooting doesn’t work, Air Care Solutions provides professional help and services for Haier air conditioners across Sydney and NSW.

Quick Safety Note Before Troubleshooting Your ActronAir AC

Before carrying out any DIY checks, follow these steps:

  • Do not open the unit or remove covers.
  • Do not touch wiring or internal components.
  • If needed, turn the system off at the isolator, and not just the remote.
  • If you notice a burning smell, smoke, loud buzzing, or repeated power trips, turn the system off and call a technician.

Common Haier Error Codes: A Homeowner-friendly Guide

Below are common Haier air conditioner error codes that customers may encounter frequently, along with what they usually indicate.

Note: Haier systems may temporarily clear some errors after a reset. If the same code keeps returning, it usually means a fault needs professional attention.

Error Code What It Means Common Causes / 
Most Likely Causes
E1 Room temperature sensor problem Sensor wiring issue or faulty temperature sensor.
E2 Indoor coil temperature sensor issue Faulty sensor or a loose connection.
E7 Indoor-outdoor communication error Temporary signal loss, wiring issue, or power interruption.
E14 Indoor fan motor problem Incorrect wiring or fan motor fault
E18 Temperature protection activated Valve response issue or abnormal system temperature
F1 Outdoor module fault Control module failure
F2 Outdoor fan motor fault DC fan motor issue
F4 Compressor overheating protection High discharge temperature or system strain
F6 Outdoor temperature sensor problem Sensor short or open circuit
F7 Outdoor suction / defrost sensor fault Faulty sensor or wiring
F8 High-pressure protection activated Restricted airflow or system overpressure
F9 Low-pressure protection activated Refrigerant issue or airflow restriction

What the Common Haier Error Codes Usually Mean

  • Sensor faults (E1, E2, F6, F7): The system is not receiving accurate temperature readings. This often indicates sensor replacements if they keep returning.
  • Communication errors (E7): The indoor and outdoor units have temporarily lost contact. This usually happens because of power interruptions or wiring issues.
  • Fan-related faults (E14, F2): Poor airflow or a fan motor problem can cause the system to shut down for protection.
  • Pressure and compressor protection (F4, F8, F9): These are safety shutdowns to prevent damage and usually require professional diagnosis.
  • Control or module faults (F1): Internal electronics are not operating correctly and should be assessed by a technician.

Troubleshooting Steps for Resolving Common Haier Error Codes

Some error codes can be fixed at home without needing professional help. To try and resolve the error on your own, try using these steps:

  • 1. Do a power reset

    A power reset often clears temporary sensor or communication errors.

    • Turn the system off at the remote.
    • Switch it off at the isolator or breaker.
    • Wait for 3-5 minutes.
    • Restore power and restart.
  • 2. Clean air filters

    Dust buildup is common in Australian homes and can trigger airflow, fan, and pressure-related faults. Clean filters every 1-3 months during heavy use.

  • 3. Check the outdoor unit airflow

    Make sure the outdoor unit is not blocked by dust, fencing, leaves, or other stored items. Haier systems are sensitive to airflow restriction in hot weather.

  • 4. Check vents and return air grills

    Blocked vents may cause temperature and pressure protection to activate, especially during summer heatwaves.

  • 5. Watch for repeat errors

    If the same error code returns shortly after a reset, it’s usually a sign of a component fault rather than a one-off interruption.

Haier Error Codes That Require a Technician

Call a licensed professional if:

  • The same error code keeps returning.

  • Cooling or heating performance drops greatly.

  • The outdoor unit fan or compressor is not running normally.

  • The system shuts down repeatedly during hot days.

  • Power keeps tripping, or the unit is not starting.

Faults like these don’t involve compressors, pressure control, valves, sensors, or internal electronics and should not be DIY’d.
