Possible Causes
Faulty current sensor on motor or heater circuit, Loose sensor wiring, Incorrect motor or heater replacement, Defective main control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal wiring and control boards.
- Inspect wiring to motor and heater: Check for loose or disconnected wires at the motor, heater, and any current sensor coils or modules.
- Verify correct parts: If the motor or heater was recently replaced, confirm that the correct Haier parts were installed and that wiring matches the service diagram.
- Check sensor module: Some models use a current transformer (CT) around a power lead. Ensure it is properly positioned and its connector is secure.
- Control board replacement: If wiring and sensors appear correct but F5 persists, the main control board may misread current and require replacement.
