Haier Central air conditioner has poor temperature control
When a Haier central air conditioner has poor temperature control, uneven cooling in the house, an AC temperature that is not accurate, or temperature swings, start with the air filter. A dirty filter restricts airflow through the furnace or air handler, reduces cooling capacity, and can cause the evaporator coil to frost over. Next, check the wall thermostat, then the wall thermostat. Failed thermostat contacts can prevent the furnace or air handler and condensing unit from operating correctly or can cause intermittent cooling. A clogged air filter remains a possible cause, followed by blocked or leaking vents that reduce airflow to some rooms. An oversized air conditioner can also cool the home too quickly and shut off before temperatures distribute evenly. Replace a dirty air filter and inspect accessible vents yourself. Thermostat testing involves low-voltage wiring, but shut off power before handling wires. Repairs involving the 240-volt condensing unit, control board, or other line-voltage parts should be handled by a qualified technician. Enter your Haier central air conditioner model number to find the exact replacement air filter, wall thermostat, wall thermostat, or other part for your specific system.
01 - Haier Central Air Conditioner Air Filter
Check and replace the air filter at least twice a year, more often in dusty/dirty environments or if there is a pet in the home. A clogged air filter will greatly reduce the air flow of the furnace or air handler which can result in poor temperature control when trying to heat or cool the home.

02 - Haier Central Air Conditioner Wall Thermostat
The wall thermostat has electrical contacts that control the power supply to the furnace or air handler and condensing unit. If the contacts in the thermostat fail, certain components of the cooling system may not work or may only work intermittently. To determine if the thermostat is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the wall thermostat does not show proper continuity, replace it.
03 - Haier Central Air Conditioner Wifi Thermostat
The WiFi thermostat has electrical contacts that control the power supply to the furnace or air handler and condensing unit . If the contacts in the thermostat fail, certain components of the cooling system may not work or may only work intermittently. To determine if the thermostat is defective, use a multimeter to test it for continuity. If the WiFi thermostat does not show proper continuity, replace it.
If the air filter is clogged, air cannot flow properly through the home's venting system. This greatly reduces the cooling capacity of the air conditioner. In addition, if the air filter is clogged, the evaporator coils will frost over and not be able to remove moisture from the air. The air filter should be checked and replaced at least twice a year, more often in dusty/dirty environments. Refer to owner's manual for guidance.

05 - Blocked or leaking vents
The furnace or air handler must have good airflow to work properly. A blocked or leaking vent can prevent good air flow and cause inconsistent room temperatures.
Less Common
06 - Oversized air conditioner
An oversized furnace or air handler will quickly heat or cool the home and shut off. This causes acceptable temperatures in certain areas but not in others. The circulated air needs time to distribute evenly throughout the home; the air recirculating through the furnace or air handler for longer periods of time will produce better results.
