Unit runs continuously.

Have someone check the run capacitor of this unit. If the run capacitor is bad over shorted it can cause the unit to run and short cycle on a current overdraw. This makes for an electrical imbalance in the compressor motor. Next step is the compressor is faulty.

Hi,
It sounds as if the compressor (that provides the cooling) is cutting out due to either a faulty thermostat or is itself overheating.

Obviously check the thermostat is able to move between it's minimum and maximum levels, anthat this corresponds to the compressor cutting in and out.

With maximum cooling selected, the compressor should not cut out untill the thermostat says it's cool enough. If it does, there is a fault, and you have every right to a refund or a free repair/ replacement.

The fault is usually centered around the compressor electrical components if it is not under any warranty, but it should be. Even if the store does not want to know, the manufacturer should back it for 1 year.

Thanks for using Fixya!
If you need to attempt repair - ask again.

SOURCE: Have a Haier water cooler

removed one of the two thermostats... the one that controls the temp in the lower refrigerated compartment. Now the water cooler functions correctly but the lower refrigerator is not cold enough to keep perishable food in it, but its better than it was.

Probably not. Newer (and I mean under 15 years old or so) refrigerators may run more % of the time than older units, but are using far less energy while running, so total energy consumption is actually less. The newest energy star models often use less electricity than a single incandescent light bulb uses if left on 24/7. If your run times are noticeably longer just recently, and there have been no other significant changes to account for it (like more and / or longer door openings or a warmer ambient temp., etc.) then you may have caught a defrost problem or bad door gasket problem early. The warm temp on the outer case near the freezer is to prevent condensation from forming in those areas, and is normal. (as a matter of fact, older refrigs often used low wattage electric heaters for that task, almost all newer units use waste heat from the cooling system to accomplish that task) Please don't bother rating this solution, as anything but a Fix-Ya lowers my overall score. Thanks.

Hi, so what is happening is the compressor is not running. Being a new unit, I would say that you have a factory defective part that starts the cooling cycle of this unit that is not coming on when it calls for cooling. Just because it is new, does not mean you can't have a problem. I have seen on so many new units from commercial and residential roof top units that have never even been started, come from the factory miss - wired, faulty compressors, you just couldn't imagine what I have found in my 33 years working on these units!! Yes, all that is coming on is the blower motor on this unit. It could be many things causing this problem. Did you install it your self? If so, was the unit picked up by you or delivered and installed by a company? The reason I am asking this is, if the unit was layed on its side at any time during transporting to site, this will cause the compressor oil to drain from its crank case and mix with the refrigerant and cause compressor failure instantly. I am sure you no that when moving a refrigerator that you never lay it down that it must be upright? This is why. I don't know if this is the case. More then likely, it is a factory defect.Some of these units will have a built in time delay for the compressor not to start up for up to 3 to 5 minutes. But if you have been running it for longer then this, thats not the problem. Make sure you have the control set for cool and not fan only. This happens sometimes on accident. If it was installed by someone else, call them out to look it over and trouble shoot it, or install another one if it is new! I believe this might be a portable free standing unit? If so, and like I said before, if it was not upright at any time, this will ruin compressor. If it is a portable unit, take it back and exchange it. There are to many things that can cause this, and you would have to take unit apart to trouble - shoot these controls. Best to be done by a pro. Please, take it back for exchange. Please let me know what is up, keep me posted.
Sincerely,
