What it means

This code appears on Haier split air conditioners when the indoor board detects that the indoor blower motor is not turning or not giving a valid speed signal, so operation stops to protect the evaporator from freezing. Haier codes differ between series, so confirm the meaning in your unit manual before buying any part. The same code can mean something else on other brands.

Models covered: Haier split air conditioners; codes differ between Haier series, so confirm with the unit manual.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the compressor stop with an indoor fan fault?

Cooling with no airflow over the evaporator freezes it and can harm the compressor, so the unit shuts everything down.

Could cleaning be enough?

Sometimes, if dirt is what slows the wheel. If the code returns after cleaning, the motor or board needs testing.

This guide is for information only and does not replace an inspection by a qualified technician. If the fault involves brakes, steering, engine temperature, electrics or refrigerant, do not attempt the repair yourself.
