Why doesn't the control panel light up on my HAIER HBW5518E refrigerator?
Frequently Asked Questions - 06/28/2026
Response Notice-Facile

The control panel of the HAIER HBW5518E operates with a LED display system (light indicators) rather than a traditional LCD screen. This means that the lighting is provided by LED icons that illuminate according to the activated functions (super cooling, super freezing, Eco mode, Wi-Fi, etc.) and temperature settings.

If the panel does not light up at all, check:

  • The power supply - Ensure that the refrigerator is properly plugged in and functioning normally (chilling, compressor running).
  • The lock mode - The panel automatically locks after 30 seconds of inactivity. The LEDs may appear off, but pressing a button should reactivate them.
  • The activated functions - The LEDs only light up for active modes or indicators. A device in normal mode without special options will display fewer indicators than a device with multiple active modes.

If no indicator lights up after pressing the buttons (Power/Off, TEMP, SET, Wi-Fi) and the device is functioning properly, this may indicate a more serious electronic issue that requires the intervention of an authorized HAIER technician.
