F8 time plan: 10–20 minutes for the permitted F8 external checks and one controlled test; professional drive diagnosis commonly takes 45–90 minutes.

F8 parts decision: F8 identifies DC fan motor malfunction. It does not alone confirm a motor, inverter, belt, bearing, rotor, wiring harness, or control board; the exact failed item must be diagnosed on the listed model family.
What not to do
- Wait for all movement to stop
- Do not rotate a powered mechanism, bypass an interlock, test inverter output, or order a motor from F8 alone
- Do not turn F8 into a parts diagnosis
- the display identifies a condition, not a completed component test
- Do not turn F8 into a parts diagnosis; the display identifies a condition, not a completed component test
Preventive maintenance
- 1Follow the exact Haier maintenance schedule for the air conditioner and keep the model, serial number, and service history available
- 2If F8 begins recurring despite the documented maintenance, stop repeating the same action and request exact-model diagnosis
