Possible Causes

Failed evaporator fan in warm zone, Faulty temperature sensor for that zone, Air damper stuck closed between zones, Partial refrigerant flow restriction to one evaporator

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing interior panels or fans.

Steps to diagnose a warm zone:

  • Verify settings: Ensure both zones are set to appropriate temperatures and that the warm zone is not overloaded.
  • Check fan operation: Listen for fan noise in both zones. If one zone is silent, remove that zone's rear interior panel and inspect the evaporator fan.
  • Inspect air damper (if equipped): Some dual-zone models use a motorized damper to share cold air. Verify the damper door moves freely and is not stuck closed.
  • Test zone sensor: Locate and test the temperature sensor for the warm zone with a multimeter. Replace if readings are out of spec.
  • Replace faulty fan or sensor: Install Haier-compatible parts for the affected zone.

Note: If airflow and sensors are good but one zone still does not cool, there may be a refrigerant distribution issue requiring professional service.
