WHEN I SET THE TEMP AT ANY DEGREE THE UNIT RUNS, BUT WHEN IT REACHES THAT TEMP IT DOES'N'T TURN COMPRESSOR OFF. WHEN THE TEMP DROPS FROM ANY TEMP IT DOES.NT TURN THE COMPRESSOR BACK ON BUT JUST KEEPS RUNNING.
CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, BUT I THINK THE THERMASTATNNEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

Is it a digital temp. display? Does this show a low temp? It should show +/-34 degrees. Listen if the compressor runs continuously. It should run for a while and then switch off. When you change the temp setting, as you turn it down, the compressor should stop. If it runs continuously then the likely cause is a stuck/faulty thermostat.Before replacing this, switch off and leave open until unit is at room temp. Then switch on again and monitor. If the thermostat if faulty and the compressor runs continuously you can damage it by overheating. The compressor will run for a good few hours after restart, until set temp. is reached and then switch off automatically. Good luck!
Is the outdoor fan running? The fan cools the coils and compressor, therefore keeping the high pressure low enough to run. Either the fan is not working or its not spinning fast enough. Check the capacitor, or just replace it.
If the unit is cooling as it should and it turns OFF after the temperature you have it set for is reached and then turns back ON once the temp drops 3 to 5 degrees, it's working as it should. There is no reason for it to run constantly if it's cooling and reaching the set temperature.
If the above is not the case, tan yes, there may be a problem with the control panel, as well as the air intake filter may need to removed and cleaned.

The shelves are the evaporator in your freezer. It is normal for the shelves to have frost on them. The more moisture in the unit the more frost you have till you have to defrost it like you did. The fact that only one of your shelves is frosting indicates that the system is low on freon. Must have a leak which requires a qualified havc to find and repair. The temp in a freezer should be between 0 and 10 degrees. At this point your compressor is keeping it cold only by running all the time. As more freon leaks out the temp will rise. This may occur slowly or at a quicker rate depending on the amount leaking.
Make sure the filter and the evaporator coil are clean. Also check condenser coil in the outside unit is clean.
When unit is turned on there should be (on the led display, inside unit) one green light on for the blower and another one for the compressor, both lights should be ON untill the unit reaches the preset temp. If the light for the compressor (usually the light on the right side) does not stay ON, check the outside unit.
On the outside unit, check that when turned on, both the fan and the compressor kick in and stay running. If the fan motor stops, the compressor overheats and the thermal proteccion shuts it down to prevent damage. Also, if the R22 gas is low, the low pressure switch prevents the compressor from running.
What you are telling us is called shortcyling is caused by possable low refrigerant then the electrical overload is stopping the compressor. overheating can accure.it is best a local serviceman can check it to prevent major part damage.pressure and oil safey controls can cause
simular cylcling problems.
I have the same problem. I have had the unit less than a month. Haier's policy is for me to pay $14.99 so they can send me another one. What a huge ripoff.
If the unit has an outdoor thermostat, this turns the aux. heat on very cold days. It may need to be replaced, or removed completely, if its kicking over to soon before it gets that cold. If its set to turn on the electric at 30 degrees, then its working the right way. Also, look for different temp. setting on the board you lust installed, there should be some sort of adjustment options on it. Especially if there is no thermostat outside.
