How do you fix a Haier dryer error yourself?
If your Haier dryer displays an error message, you'll want to know what's going on. In order to solve a Haier dryer error yourself, you can read about the most common error codes here. You can also read what to do if the lint trap is full or if your dryer has short-circuited.
Haier error E6
If you see the error code E6, the lint trap of your Haier dryer is full. Clean the lint trap:
1: take the lint trap out of your dryer. 2: remove large clumps of dust from the lint trap. 3: vacuum the slot for the lint trap with a vacuum. 4: put the lint trap back.
In order to prevent this problem, it's important that you clean the lint trap after each dryer cycle.
Haier error F2
It's possible that the drain pump of your Haier dryer is broken. Haier recommends you call in a technician.
Haier error F31 or F32
The display indicates error code F31 or F32. This can mean your Haier dryer has short-circuited or the condenser has overheated.
1: turn the dryer off. 2: unplug the connector for 10 minutes. 3: plug the connector back in and test if the dryer cycle works now.
Haier error F4
With a Haier error code F4, the drum doesn't heat up. Haier recommends you call in a technician.
Haier error F5
The error code F5 indicates a communication error between the module and the display of your Haier dryer. Unplug the appliance for 5 minutes and test if the cycle works again.
Haier error '/'
Do you see '/' on the display of your Haier dryer? That means the condenser reservoir of your dryer is full.
1: remove the condenser reservoir. 2: empty the condenser reservoir. 3: put it back in place.
Error 'empty reservoir' appears
When the light for the condenser reservoir comes on, the reservoir is full. Remove the reservoir from the dryer and empty it in the sink. When you put the reservoir back and start the dryer cycle, the notification should disappear. Is your dryer connected to the water drain and do you still see this error? Check the manual to learn how you can manually turn off the light. Also make sure there's no loop in the drain hose. The drain also shouldn't be higher up than 1m.
Problem not solved?
It may help to clean the condenser at the bottom of the dryer. If you have a condenser dryer, you can take it out and rinse it under the faucet. A heat pump dryer has a fixed condenser. You can carefully vacuum it with a vacuum brush. You can also unplug the appliance from the socket and plug it back in after 30 minutes. Does your Haier dryer still indicate an error? Call our customer service if the warranty covers your dryer. You can also call the Haier service point if your warranty has expired.
