Possible Causes
Shorted heating element, Pinched or bare wiring touching chassis, Faulty terminal block, Incorrect circuit size or shared circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not repeatedly reset a tripping breaker. Turn off power and leave it off until the fault is found.
- Isolate function: Determine if the trip occurs with a specific burner or with the oven. This helps locate the faulty circuit.
- Inspect elements and wiring: With power off, inspect bake, broil, and surface elements for visible damage. Check wiring for melted insulation or contact with metal parts.
- Terminal block check: Inspect the rear terminal block for signs of arcing or burning. Replace if damaged.
- Continuity to ground: Use a multimeter to check for shorts between element terminals and chassis ground. Replace any element that is shorted.
- Electrical supply: Verify that the range is on a dedicated circuit of the correct amperage as specified by Haier.
If you are not experienced with electrical diagnostics, contact a licensed electrician or appliance technician.
