Why is my Haier Air Conditioner cooling poorly?
- A
  Amy WilsonJul 26, 2025
  Several factors can cause poor cooling in your Haier Air Conditioner. Check the following: * Ensure the air filter is clean; it should be cleaned every 2 months. * Remove any obstructions from the inlet and outlet. * Verify the temperature is set correctly. * Close any open doors or windows. * Use curtains to block direct sunlight. * Reduce heat sources or limit the number of people in the room.

What to do if my Haier Air Conditioner system does not restart immediately?
- J
  Janet BartlettJul 31, 2025
  If your Haier Air Conditioner doesn't restart immediately, it could be due to the system's protection mechanisms. When the unit is stopped, it will not restart for 3 minutes to protect the system, so wait for 3 minutes before attempting to restart it. Similarly, if electricity is disconnected and then reconnected, the protection circuit will work for 3 minutes. After reconnecting electricity, wait for 3 minutes before using the air conditioner.

Why is my Haier Air Conditioner making noise?
- R
  Rebecca WallaceAug 6, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Haier Air Conditioner might be making noise: * A swishing or gurgling noise is normal during the first 2-3 minutes after the unit has started, due to refrigerant flowing in the system. * A cracking noise may be heard, which is generated by the casing expanding or shrinking due to temperature changes. * If the airflow is creating a loud noise, the air filter may be too dirty. Check and clean the air filter.

The Haier Ductless Split Air Conditioner is a user-friendly system designed for efficient cooling and heating, offering various models for different indoor needs. The indoor units include AW09ES2VHA, AW12ES2VHA, AW18ES2VHA, AW24ES2VHA, AW07LC2VHA/AW07LC2VHB, AW09LC2VHA/AW09LC2VHB, AW12LC2VHA/AW12LC2VHB, and AW18LC2VHA/AW18LC2VHB.

Function Description:

This ductless split air conditioner provides cooling, heating, and dehumidification functions. It is operated via a remote control, allowing users to select various modes and settings for optimal comfort. The system is designed to be installed by a qualified HVAC professional to ensure correct setup and prevent potential hazards.

Important Technical Specifications:

Operating Temperature Range: 60°F-86°F (16°C-30°C).
Fan Speeds: Low, Medium, High, and Auto.
Timer Functions: TIMER ON and TIMER OFF, allowing scheduled operation in 0.5-hour increments up to 12 hours, and 1-hour increments between 12 and 24 hours.
Sleep Mode: Automatically adjusts temperature and fan speed for comfortable sleep, with a total run time of approximately 6 hours in cooling/dry modes and 3-6 hours in heat mode before turning off.
Power Supply: The manual does not specify voltage or current, but mentions checking for power plug insertion, power failure, and blown fuses during troubleshooting.
Refrigerant: The manual mentions "refrigerant flowing in the system" in the context of noise, implying a standard refrigerant-based cooling cycle.

Usage Features:

Remote Control: The primary interface for controlling the air conditioner. It features buttons for Power, TURBO/QUIET, COOL, HEAT, DRY, Temperature +/- (Temp+ / Temp-), AUTO, FAN, Swing (vertical and horizontal louvers), Health, Timer On, Timer Off, Extra Function, Sleep, Confirm/Cancel, Lock, Light, and Reset.
Power Button: Turns the unit ON/OFF.
TURBO/QUIET Button:
- TURBO Function: Provides fast heating or cooling. Pressing the button once activates TURBO mode, indicated by a "J" icon on the remote display.
- QUIET Function: Reduces noise for quiet operation. Pressing the button a second time activates QUIET mode, indicated by an icon on the remote display. Running in QUIET mode for extended periods may affect temperature attainment.
- Pressing the button a third time cancels TURBO/QUIET mode.
COOL Button: Activates cooling mode. When FAN is set to AUTO, the unit automatically adjusts fan speed based on room temperature.
HEAT Button: Activates heating mode. Features a cold-air prevention function. When FAN is set to AUTO, the unit automatically adjusts fan speed.
DRY Button: Reduces humidity. Operates intermittently at LOW speed when room temperature is within 2°F of the set temperature.
Temperature +/- Buttons: Adjusts the set temperature within the 60°F-86°F (16°C-30°C) range.
AUTO Button: Automatically selects Cool, Heat, or Fan operation based on the set temperature. Fan speed is automatically adjusted in AUTO mode.
FAN Button: Cycles through fan speeds: LOW, MED, HI, and AUTO.
Louver SWING Buttons (Vertical and Horizontal): Adjusts the direction of airflow. The vertical louvers can be adjusted using the SWING UP/DOWN button. The horizontal louvers can be adjusted using the SWING UP/DOWN button (for horizontal swing).
- Caution: Avoid keeping vertical louvers in the downward position in COOL or DRY mode to prevent condensate water formation. Avoid adjusting horizontal louvers manually to prevent malfunction.
Timer ON/OFF Buttons:
- TIMER ON: Schedules the unit to turn on after a set period.
- TIMER OFF: Schedules the unit to turn off after a set period.
- Settings are confirmed using the CONFIRM/CANCEL button.
SLEEP Button: Activates sleep mode, which automatically adjusts temperature and fan speed for comfort during sleep. Fan speed is fixed to low in sleep mode.
EXTRA FUNCTION Button: Provides access to additional settings:
- A-B Yard: Allows control of two separate units with one remote (requires contractor setup).
- Fan Mode: Activates fan-only operation.
- Intelligent Airflow (Upward/Downward/Reset): Adjusts louver position for specific airflow patterns (e.g., upward for cooling, downward for heating).
- Fahrenheit/Celsius Mode Shift: Switches temperature display between °F and °C.
LOCK Button: Locks the remote control buttons and LCD display.
LIGHT Button: Turns the indoor unit's display ON/OFF.
RESET Button: Resets the remote control using a pen point or similar object.
Emergency Operation: If the remote control is defective or lost, the unit can be operated via an emergency switch. In this mode, the unit runs automatically (COOL above 73°F, HEAT below 73°F) with fixed temperature and fan speed settings, and timer/dry modes are unavailable.

Maintenance Features:

Cleaning the Air Filter:
1. Open the inlet grille by pulling it upward.
2. Remove the filter by gently pushing up on its center tab and pulling it downward.
3. Clean the filter using a vacuum cleaner or by washing with water. Ensure the filter is completely dry before reattaching.
4. Attach the filter with the "FRONT" label facing forward, ensuring it's securely attached behind the holding tabs.
5. Close the inlet grille.
- Recommendation: Clean the air filter every two months for optimal efficiency.
General Cleaning: Wipe the air conditioner with a soft, dry cloth. For serious stains, use a neutral detergent diluted with water, wringing the cloth thoroughly before wiping.
Battery Replacement: The remote control uses 2 AAA batteries. Replace them when the display is weak or operating distance diminishes. Remove batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period.

Safety and Installation Warnings:

Installation must be performed by a qualified HVAC professional to prevent fire, water leakage, personal injury, or death.
Immediately power off the main switch and contact a licensed contractor if abnormalities (e.g., burnt smell) are detected.
Do not obstruct or cover the ventilation grille.
Do not insert fingers or objects into the inlet/outlet or swing louver.
Do not allow children to play with the air conditioner or sit on the outdoor unit.
Read the user manual before use and keep it for future reference.

Troubleshooting:

The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common issues:

System does not restart immediately: A 3-minute protection delay after stopping or power disconnection.
Noise is heard: Swishing/gurgling noise from refrigerant flow, cracking noise from casing expansion/contraction, or loud airflow due to a dirty air filter.
Odd smell: System circulates smells from indoor air (furniture, paint, cigarettes).
Mist or steam blowing out: Due to sudden cooling of indoor air in COOL or DRY mode.
Fan speed can't be changed in dry mode: Unit runs intermittently at LOW speed when room temperature is near set temperature.
Poor cooling: Check power plug, power failure, fuse, dirty air filter, blocked inlet/outlet, incorrect temperature setting, open doors/windows, direct sunlight, or too many heat sources/people in the room.
