Why does my Haier HB21FSSAA run so often?
- C
  Carolyn AndradeAug 1, 2025
  Your Haier Refrigerator might be running frequently or for too long due to several reasons. The indoor or outdoor temperature could be high, which is normal. If the refrigerator was recently powered off, it can take 8 to 12 hours to fully cool down. The automatic icemaker operation can also cause longer run times. Ensure that you're not opening the door too often or for extended periods. Check that the fridge/freezer doors are tightly closed and that the refrigerator is level, with no obstructions. If the freezer temperature is set too low, adjust it higher and allow 24 hours for temperature stabilization. A damaged door gasket can also cause this issue; try cleaning or replacing it.

Also, ensure the refrigerator isn't in the OFF state; press the “Power” button for 3 seconds or more to restart it, or turn the knob from OFF to a temperature selection position.
