Hisense is a tech giant that creates everything electronic, from phones to tumble dryers. The quality of their products rivals the very best in the industry. Still, no matter how good an appliance is, it’s impossible to make one that doesn’t break down due to wear and tear or manufacturing faults.
This guide offers useful DIY tips to help you get started. For more serious faulty appliances, MasterCare’s factory-trained and certified technicians deliver fast and reliable service across South Africa.
Common Hisense Appliance Issues #
Understanding the root of the problem is the first step in any successful Hisense appliance repair. Common issues vary by model and usage but often include:
- Hisense washing machine not draining: This is typically caused by a blocked filter or a kinked drain hose.
- Hisense fridge not cooling: This may be due to dirty coils or incorrect temperature settings.
- Hisense dishwasher not starting: This is often related to a faulty door latch or power supply.
- Hisense air conditioners are not cooling. This is usually caused by clogged filters or low refrigerant.
An accurate diagnosis is essential for a proper repair. When in doubt, contact a technician for a professional assessment.
DIY Appliance Fixes to Try at Home #
Some Hisense appliance repairs can be safely handled at home. Here are a few steps you can take before calling for help:
1. Washing Machines (Top Loader and Front Loader) #
- Check for unbalanced loads that could prevent spin cycles.
- Clean the filter regularly to maintain efficient drainage.
- Inspect water inlet and drain hoses for blockages or leaks.
2. Fridges and Freezers #
- Clean the condenser coils to ensure optimal performance.
- Confirm that the door seals are airtight and clean.
- Avoid overpacking, as it restricts airflow inside the unit.
3. Dishwashers #
- Clean the spray arms and filter to prevent clogs.
- Use vinegar to remove mineral build-up.
- Check the float switch and door latch for proper operation.
These quick checks can resolve minor appliance issues. If the appliance remains unresponsive or shows error codes, it’s time to hire experienced technicians.

Pro Tips for Fixing Common Hisense Appliance Faults #
Want to keep your Hisense appliances running efficiently for longer? Here are practical tips based on the most frequently asked questions from Hisense’s official support page. If you’re dealing with a broken appliance or unclear error codes, these may help, or point you to when it’s time to call in the pros.
Hisense Washing Machine Tips #
- Keep things level
- If your Hisense washing machine is shaking or noisy, check that the transport bolts have been removed and the unit sits flat. Adjust the legs if needed to avoid long-term wear.
- Check error codes early
- Seeing ‘FH’ or ‘FP’ on the screen? ‘FH’ means the water tap might be closed. ‘FP’ usually signals a drainage problem. Clear out the filter and check the drain hose.
Hisense Fridge & Freezer Tips #
- Let it breathe
- Avoid overloading your Hisense fridge or freezer — airflow is key to maintaining optimal performance. Blocked vents can reduce cooling efficiency and overwork the compressor.
- Stop the frost
- Frost build-up? It could be a sign of a faulty door seal or frequent door openings. Replace the seal if it’s damaged to prevent bigger appliance issues later.
- Fix those leaks
- A common cause of leaking is a clogged defrost drain. Use warm water to flush it out, or book a technician if the problem persists.
Hisense Dishwasher Tips #
Don’t ignore residue #
If dishes come out dirty, clean the spray arms and check the filter. Once a month, use a dishwasher-safe cleaner or vinegar cycle.
Secure the door #
If your Hisense dishwasher won’t start, inspect the door latch and float switch. The machine won’t run if these aren’t properly engaged.
Hisense TV Tips #
Check your connections #
If there’s no sound or image, confirm all cables are secure, and power is steady. A blinking standby light usually links to an internal error — check the manual for a code.
Improve connectivity #
For Wi-Fi issues, restart both your TV and router. If the problem continues, update your firmware to ensure compatibility with your network setup.
