Can't adjust tempature on top level

I think you are on the right track. The landlord is being abusive and needs to have his chain jerked by the authorities.

Check for ice build up in the rear of the freezer if so defrost unit and the fan should come back on

It could be your radiator is partially blocked or your water pump is not working properly, could also be a blown head gasket or cracked head or timing. Several things that could be causing the problem

You should have a trained a/c tech take a look at and adjust the bypass in the attic, it's letting too much air return back to unit not to zone.

replace fan motor. same thing happened to me but I can't see other end of fan wires.I will have to cut and solder wires for new fan...I have question on how to get that darn relay box off compressor to see where condenser fan wires go!!!

derkfarm - It may simply be a case of the humidity extraction level being set to high and/or the air intake filter needs to be removed and cleaned.

Solution: Lower the humidity extraction level to 32 - 35% and clean the air filter.

If the unit is in a basement, the ambient air temperature at floor level is colder than at chest level. Dehumidifiers don't work well at temperatures between 40 - 60 degrees F.

Solution: Set the unit up off the floor on a sturdy table, cabinet, counter top, etc. It must be sturdy enough to handle the weight of the unit, plus a full tank of water and the vibration, while in operation.

Any or all the simple solutions above may solve the problem. But, we won't know, until you try them.

Please let me know if it helped or didn't solve the problem. Thanks.

One thing you can try is to remove cover, it just snaps in place.There are two plastic leveling posts at top two sides. You will need a small level commonly called a torpedo level to set on these leveling points.It should be very close to level,bubble in middle. If it's not look at base plate against wall and locate two lower mounting screws there will be a small slot where the screws go into wall to allow for slight adjustment.You will need a small screwdriver to back these two screws out a little maybe 1 turn.Adjust thermostat base so that level has bubble in middle and carefully tighten the screws,keeping t-stat held level. This should help some but it is not unusual for set temp. ont-stat to be off 3-5 degrees from thermometer reading. Hope this helps you.Thanks.

First check if you have any leaks in the cooling system , then check if level is correct(radiator and expansion tank , check level when car is cold , never open radiator when it's hot).
Then verify operation of radiator fan , if it's electrical fan it should comes on when temp. goes over normal,
if it's a clutch fan- it should pick up a speed and be more loud. If fan is not on and engine is starting overheating , check upper and lower radiator hoses.
If upper hose hot and lower hose cold or warm then you might have stuck close or prtially closed thermostat , difference between lower and upper hoses when t/stat works ok is about 10-15 degrees,
not really noticeable for hand.So if you don't feel a lot of difference between hoses temp. , and fan is not on , check fan or fan clutch itself.
If lower hose cold , replace thermostat and purge system.
If everything above is working properly , and it's still overheating , you may have bad water pump or head gasket.

I can tell you if it can be fixed by you or if you need service. Just answer a few questions as we go through this. Pull away from wall and remove the lower panel. Feel top of compressor and see if too hot to keep your hand there or cool. Let me know if freezer fan and fan below are running. Answer those and that will help me answer your questions, Thanks Sea Breeze

I have the same problem. When I first discovered this, both fans had stopped working and the temp for both zones was over 80. So much for the wine that had been stored there. After leaving the unit unplugged for a few days, the fan for the lower section started working again but the upper fan is still overheating. Haier customer service says too bad, so sad (I discovered this problem in the 13th month of ownership). I'm sure it is not worthwhile to fix this so it is going out with the trash and I'll look for a different brand for the next wine cellar that I purchase. Any ideas?
