Possible Causes

Stuck-closed temperature sensor (NTC) reading too warm, Faulty main control PCB not cycling compressor, Misplaced cabinet sensor touching evaporator, Shorted sensor wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing sensors or control boards.

Steps to correct overcooling:

  • Verify setpoint: Confirm the temperature setting is appropriate for wine storage (typically 5–18°C / 41–64°F depending on model and wine type).
  • Check sensor placement: Locate the cabinet temperature sensor inside the compartment. Ensure it is not touching the evaporator wall or directly in the cold air stream from the fan.
  • Inspect sensor wiring: Look for damaged insulation or pinched wires that could cause a short and false readings.
  • Test the sensor: With a multimeter, measure the sensor resistance at known temperatures and compare to Haier specifications. Replace if readings are out of range.
  • Replace faulty components: Install a Haier-compatible cabinet temperature sensor if defective. If the sensor is good but the compressor does not cycle off, the main control PCB may need replacement.
  • Monitor temperature: After repairs, use an accurate thermometer to verify that the interior temperature stabilizes at the setpoint.
