The Haier warranty in Belgium, without the jargon

The basics: 2 years

Every appliance bought from us benefits from the 2-year statutory guarantee, provided by the seller. Haier Benelux also offers its own 24-month warranty, with repairs in Belgium, France or Luxembourg, on presentation of the invoice. Missing or damaged accessories (shelves, door racks) must be reported within 7 days of purchase.

The extension: 10 years on parts

If the repair costs too much

Under Haier's terms, if the repair approaches the price of a new appliance, Haier may offer a replacement via a credit note from the retailer.

Washing machines

Programmes to know

  • Eco 40-60 : the most economical for normally soiled cotton, even though it takes longer.
  • Smart AI (X5, connected models): the machine chooses for you.
  • Refresh : refreshes lightly worn clothing with steam.
  • Quick : for a small, lightly soiled load.
  • Drum cleaning : run empty once a month.

Routine maintenance

  • The drain filter every 2 to 3 months (bottom hatch, towel and shallow tray). Screw it back in firmly: a loosely fitted filter is a common cause of leaks.
  • The hoses : check the tightness and condition of the inlet and drain hoses once or twice a year. Test-Achats records more water leaks than average on Haier washing machines: this check is worth doing.
  • The door seal : wipe it down and remove hair and objects. The Smart Dual Spray helps but does not replace this step.
  • The Autodose tank (I-Pro Series 7 Plus): rinse it when you change detergent.
  • Descaling : in Wallonia, the water is hard; run a 60 °C maintenance cycle with descaler every month or two.

The detergent drawer is rinsed when you switch products.

The tumble dryer

  • The 3-in-1 filter empty after every cycle: this is the step that matters most for longevity and energy use.
  • Water tank empty after every cycle, or drain directly into a waste outlet.
  • The heat pump filter rinse with clean water every month.
  • A temperate room: a heat pump doesn't like icy garages.

The fridge, freezer and wine cellar

  • Set the fridge to around 4 °C and the freezer to -18 °C. The My Zone drawer should be set according to its contents.
  • The seals : wipe with a sponge and soapy water every month.
  • Ventilation : leave the recommended space around the appliance, especially for Cube and American-style models.
  • The ABT filter : some models have a filter to replace as per the manual.
  • The chest freezer (without No Frost): defrost when the ice exceeds a few millimetres.
  • The wine cooler : avoid direct sunlight and proximity to heat sources.

The dishwasher

  • The filter at the bottom of the tank: rinse weekly.
  • Regenerating salt and rinse aid : top up as soon as the light comes on, with the softener set according to your water hardness.
  • The spray arms : clear the holes with a toothpick if needed.
  • A hot empty cycle with a special cleaner once a month to remove grease and limescale.

Install properly to avoid problems

Many faults originate at installation. For a washing machine: remove the transport bolts at the back (otherwise the machine vibrates heavily and gets damaged), use new hoses rather than old ones, tighten by hand without forcing, adjust the feet so the machine is perfectly level. For a fridge: let it stand upright for a few hours after being transported lying down before plugging it in, and respect the ventilation space given in the manual. For a fridge with a plumbed water dispenser, have the connection checked for leaks after water is connected.

What you can check yourself

Error codes vary by model: check the manual (downloadable from haier-europe.com) or the diagnostics in the hOn app.

SymptomTo be checked
The washing machine won't startDoor closed, child lock, tap open, delayed start activated
Drain errorDrain filter, kinked or blocked hose
Water inlet errorTap, kinked hose, small filter at the hose inlet
LeakHoses tightened, filter properly reinstalled, too much detergent in the drawer
Heavy vibrationTransport bolts removed, feet adjusted, unbalanced load
The tumble dryer isn't drying wellClean filters, tank emptied, suitable programme, drum not overloaded
The fridge isn't cooling enoughTemperature setting, door and seal, ventilation, overloaded fridge
Unusual fridge noiseAppliance level, nothing touching the rear wall, hose vibrating against the wall
Safety: unplug the appliance before any work and only dismantle what is intended for the user. Repairs by an unapproved technician void the warranty.

Clément's tip

On delivery day: take a photo of the rating plate, register on hOn or registerhaier.com, and file the confirmation email with the invoice. Three minutes that could save you an expensive part in five years' time.
