Possible Causes

Loose water inlet connection, Cracked water line, Clogged or misrouted drain hose, Overfilling due to faulty water level sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and turn off the water supply immediately. Mop up standing water to prevent slips and water damage.

Steps to locate and fix leak:

  • Inspect external connections: Check the water supply line at the shutoff valve and at the ice maker inlet for drips. Tighten compression fittings gently; do not overtighten plastic threads.
  • Check internal tubing: Remove access panels and inspect plastic water lines for cracks or pinholes. Replace any damaged tubing with Haier-approved parts.
  • Examine drain system: Ensure the drain hose slopes downward with no kinks. Clear any clogs in the hose or drain port.
  • Verify water level control: If the reservoir overfills, test the water level float or sensor and replace if it fails to shut off fill.
  • Dry and test: After repairs, dry the area, restore water and power, and monitor for leaks during a full cycle.

When to call a technician: If leaks appear to come from the evaporator or sealed system area, or if you cannot locate the source, contact a professional.
