How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Handle glass carefully to avoid breakage and injury. Unplug the unit if removing the door.

Steps to address foggy door glass:

  • Confirm location of condensation: Wipe the inner and outer surfaces. If fog remains between panes, the insulated glass seal has failed.
  • Inspect door frame: Check for visible damage or warping that may have stressed the glass unit.
  • Replace door assembly or glass unit: The sealed glass cannot be effectively repaired in the field. Order a Haier-compatible replacement door or glass insert as specified for your model.
  • Install replacement: Transfer hinges and gasket to the new door if required, ensuring proper alignment and sealing.

Note: Continued operation with fogged glass is usually safe but reduces insulation efficiency and aesthetics.
