Possible Causes

Loose connection between main PCB and inverter module, Failed inverter board (for inverter compressors), Faulty compressor winding, Damaged communication harness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer. Compressor and inverter circuits carry high voltage—only qualified persons should test live circuits.

  • Locate inverter module: On inverter models, the inverter board is mounted near the compressor, usually in a metal or plastic housing.
  • Inspect wiring: Check the harness from the main control PCB to the inverter for damage, burns, or loose plugs. Reseat all connectors.
  • Check for overheating: Look for discoloration or melted plastic on the inverter housing. A burnt smell often indicates inverter failure.
  • Compressor test: With power disconnected, measure resistance between compressor terminals. Compare to Haier specifications. Very high or zero resistance between any two terminals suggests a failed compressor.
  • Module replacement: If the compressor windings are within spec and wiring is intact, replace the inverter module with a Haier-compatible unit. Ensure proper mounting for heat dissipation.
  • Board replacement: If a new inverter does not clear E7, the main control PCB may have a communication fault and should be replaced.
