Haier Central Air Conditioner Condensing unit does not run
If your Haier central air conditioner's condensing unit does not run, the outdoor AC unit may not be turning on because of a failed compressor, wall thermostat, condenser fan motor, fan motor, sealed-system problem, or pressure switch. The compressor is the first component to check when the AC condenser is not turning on, especially if the capacitor and condenser fan motor appear to operate normally. A failed Haier wall thermostat can also prevent both the furnace and condensing unit from starting. Next, check the condenser fan motor and fan motor for electrical continuity, proper power, and freely rotating fan blades. If the outside AC unit is not running even though it has power and the contactor is working, low refrigerant may have tripped the low-pressure switch. Refrigerant leaks, pressure-switch replacement, and any repair inside the sealed system require EPA 608 certification and a licensed HVAC technician. Testing or replacing parts in the outdoor condensing unit also involves 240V line voltage, so shut off power at the disconnect box and circuit breaker, and leave energized electrical testing to a qualified professional. Enter your Haier model number to find the exact replacement compressor, thermostat, condenser fan motor, fan motor, or pressure switch for your central air conditioner.
01 - Haier Central Air Conditioner Compressor
Central air conditioners use a compressor to pump refrigerant through the condenser coils located in the outside condensing unit and through the evaporator coils mounted on top of the furnace or air handler. While it's not a common problem, if the compressor fails, the condensing unit will not run. You can use a multimeter to test the compressor for electrical continuity, a continuous electrical path present in the component, to help determine if the compressor is faulty. If all other potentially defective components, such as the capacitor and condenser fan motor, are operating properly, then a qualified technician should ...

Highly Likely
02 - Haier Central Air Conditioner Wifi Thermostat
The WiFi thermostat has contacts in it that control the furnace. If the contact fails it can result in the furnace and the condensing unit to not run at all.
Common
03 - Haier Central Air Conditioner Condenser Fan Motor
A faulty condenser fan motor can be responsible for the central air conditioner condensing unit not running. You can use a multimeter to test the fan motor for electrical continuity, a continuous electrical path present in the motor, to help determine if the motor is defective. You can also use the multimeter to determine if power is reaching the motor. You can also try rotating the fan blades by hand. If the blades do not turn freely, it's likely the motor bearings have seized and the fan motor will need to be replaced.

04 - Haier Central Air Conditioner Fan Motor
A faulty fan motor can be responsible for the central air conditioner condensing unit not running. You can use a multimeter to test the fan motor for electrical continuity, a continuous electrical path present in the motor, to help determine if the motor is defective. You can also use the multimeter to determine if power is reaching the motor. You can also try rotating the fan blades by hand. If the blades do not turn freely, it's likely the motor bearings have seized and the fan motor will need to be replaced.
Common
05 - Sealed system problem
If the condensing unit has power to it, the contactor checks out okay, but the fan and compressor are not running, it is likely that the unit is low on refrigerant which will cause the low limit pressure switch to trip and keep the unit from running. Since diagnosing and repairing a sealed system takes specialized tools and knowledge, a qualified service technician should diagnosis and repair the unit.
Common
06 - Haier Central Air Conditioner Pressure Switch
A pressure switch is a safety device used to help prevent component and system failures. There are basically three types of pressure switches used in central air conditioning and heat pump applications: High Limit, Low Limit, and Ambient Temperature. Depending on the model, you may have one or more of these or none. The pressure switch(es) can be checked with a multimeter, referencing the wiring diagram for the circuit locations. Note: If a pressure switch needs to be replaced the refrigerant will need to be removed, requiring a qualified technician.
