Haier Air conditioner circuit breaker keeps tripping
If your Haier air conditioner trips the breaker, don’t keep resetting it and hoping it holds. A tripping breaker usually means the unit is drawing too much current or something is shorted. On most window units, the first suspect is the LCDI power cord, which can trip if the cord protector is damaged or if it senses a short inside the air conditioner. If the power cord checks out, look next at the condenser fan motor, dual shaft fan motor, or blower motor. A shorted motor winding can make the AC breaker keep tripping as soon as the motor is energized, often with a burnt smell. Less commonly, a damaged wire harness can short against the cabinet or another component, or the control board can fail and send power where it shouldn’t. Whether you’re dealing with a window air conditioner that trips the circuit breaker or a clear air conditioner power cord problem, enter your Haier model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement power cord, fan motor, blower motor, wire harness, or control board for your specific unit.
01 - Haier Air Conditioner Power Cord
Most window air conditioners have an LCDI circuit protector that will detect a short in the cord or a component in the unit. If the circuit breaker on the cord is damaged or any of the components in the unit are shorted the circuit breaker will trip. The circuit breaker on the cord is usually more sensitive and will trip before the main breaker.

Common
02 - Haier Air Conditioner Condenser Fan Motor
An air conditioner condenser fan motor is the component that spins both the condenser fan blade in the rear of the unit. If the fan motor is burned out or shorted it may trip the circuit breaker. You can use a multimeter to check if the motor windings are shorted. A shorted motor will usually have a burnt smell and will need to be replaced.
Common
03 - Haier Air Conditioner Dual Shaft Fan Motor
An air conditioner dual shaft fan motor is the component that spins both the condenser fan blade in the rear of the unit and the fan blade that forces the cooled air out the front vent. If the fan motor is burned out or shorted it may trip the circuit breaker. You can use a multimeter to check if the motor windings are shorted. A shorted motor will usually have a burnt smell and will need to be replaced.
Common
04 - Haier Air Conditioner Blower Motor
If the blower motor windings are shorted out the breaker will likely trip when power is applied to the motor. You can try disconnecting the motor from the unit to see if the breaker will still trip. You can use a multimeter to check if the motor windings are shorted. A shorted motor will usually have a burnt smell and will need to be replaced.
Common
05 - Haier Air Conditioner Wire Harness
A wire harness sends power and low voltage signals between the electrical components and the control board. If a wire harness becomes damaged, it can short out causing the circuit breaker to trip. Check the appropriate wire harnesses for breaks or loose connections. A damaged wire harness will need to be replaced.
Less Common
06 - Haier Air Conditioner Control Board
The control board regulates the power supply to all of the components of the air conditioner. If the control board shorts out it can trip the circuit breaker. A shorted control board will usually have burn marks or smell burnt and will need to be replaced.
