Possible Causes
Leak at flare connections on indoor or outdoor unit, Pinhole leak in evaporator or condenser coil, Damaged copper tubing from vibration or corrosion, Improperly tightened service valves
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power. Do not attempt to charge or recover refrigerant without proper certification and equipment.
- Visual leak check: Inspect all accessible copper joints and flare nuts for oil stains or greenish corrosion. Tighten slightly if obviously loose, but do not overtighten.
- Check mounting and supports: Ensure copper lines are not rubbing against sharp metal edges or being crushed by brackets.
- Do not continue running: Avoid operating the unit for long periods with F0 active, as low refrigerant can overheat the compressor.
- Professional repair: A licensed technician must locate the leak (using nitrogen, soap solution, or electronic detector), repair it, evacuate the system, and recharge with the exact Haier-specified refrigerant amount.
