Front control panel has stopped working, any way to get it going again

There is a tiny little circuit board about 1cm square that resides at the top of the fridge door. My guess is that this detects when the door is opened. The lights on the front panel only work when the door is opened as you know. So maybe the lights don't know the door has been opened? I assume the temperatures etc are all OK? Carefully take the top plastic panel off the top of the door and check out the circuit board to see if it is properly connected. Maybe spray the connections with WD40 Contact Cleaner. Note not the regular WD40 but the WD40 Contact Cleaner. This stuff is fantastic. Good luck.

Ok. I am now certain Haier is buying fake reviews. I just found one reviewer who had only four reviews to their name within the space of one day for four different fridges.

450L Bottom Mount

I have a Haier HBM 450 fridge and changed the way the door opened two years ago. I have now moved to a new house and need to switch back, unfortunately In the move I cannot find the original parts. Is there a kit for changing over the way the door swings? currently the door hinges are on the right side if the fridge, I need to have them on the left. Can you help? Regards Barry.

I've not encountered that issue. In fact I am thrilled with this fridge. It looks small but it's an entertainers fridge.

The freezer is split into three compartments. You could use the top or middle compartment for your ice and ice trays as they are the two shorter trays.

Hi there, from my experience with fridges, sometimes the compressor can make odd noises when a different component (like a copper pipe / tube), is just touching it. The vibrations can start a "buzzing". I mostly "shift" the fridge and it stops...
Fridges do run in cycles, turning off, when the interior reaches the temperature set by the owner, and then automatically starts, when the fridge interiors gets "less cool". Check the temps you've set your zones at. I set mine at -2C at the top, 0C in the centre crisper (My Zone), and -18C in the bottom freezer.
Also ensure good airflow around the back, sides and top of the fridge.

Our started to do the same thing and we diagnosed that the automatic defrost was faulty and ice was getting stuck in the fan. Problem kept getting worse and worse and now the fridge doesn't work at all and we are getting a warranty replacement. So check the back you freezer for ice build up and if there is any I would recommend getting a technician out on warranty to take a look. Seems a few people on this page have had the same problem with this fridge

I find that the vegetables I keep in either draw tend to go rubbery after a couple of days. This never happened in our old fridge. Is there a way of preventing this?

Hi Pete,
I understand the vegetable crisper is temperature controlled, you could try adjusting the temperature around to see if that helps.

Have tried the temperature control and if it is any lower it freezes the vegetables. Have tried different temperatures and still leaves the vegetables rubbery.

We found that keeping each type of vegetable in their own seperate plastic bags whilst in the drawer has solved the problem.

Hi Duncan, inside your fridge you will see temperature controls, one for the fridge and one for the freezer, just set them to normal plug your fridge in and the fridge will start...

Hi,
Our fridge came with the hinges to enable reversing the fridge.
I cannot comment on how hard it is to carry out as ours is the way we wanted it.
