normally for china chiller, the 1st to spoilt will be the thermostat.

maybe an external thermostat can solve your problem. What you need to do is to disconnect the power cable to the controller and use the external thermostat controller to programe.

firstly, when you power on the chiller now, does the controller show the correct temperature?

if it shows a very high or very low temp, this will confirm that your thermostat is spoilt.

thanks bro. last nite i power on it shows 32degree.set 28degree,but it nv comes down.thermometer in my tank shows ard 30degree also. does this tell the thermostat okay? can it be fan or motor? cause scare go buy thermostat(quite expensive)and end up okay.

any bros

wonder how high temp can a chiller goes?cause my chiller goes uo to 32.4 degree instead of goes to 28 degree temp i set.

You may want to check that your pump is pumping sufficiently, as the chiller will run continuously and heats up when the pump is not pumping sufficiently. I had a previous bad experience when my pump failed and the chiller heats up but the tank water does not get chilled. (By the way, what pump are you using? Does it match the required flowrate of the chiller?)
As for the fan, I believe you should be able to either hear the motor sound (basically the main component in the chiller that creates noise) or if open the air filter cover you may be able to see the fan/feel the airflow.
Hope it helps. Good luck.

Hi bro. I'm not surprised. I'm using hailea 150 too. My chiller same like yours as well just breakdown 1 week ago. Set at 25 and woke up suddenly my chiller can't cool it down. Can hear the motor and pump running for 5 mins then suddenly it stops running but still can hear like running water through the chiller. Then the running will stop after 5 to 10mins and whole process will trigger after 5 mins of cooldown. During the running my chiller feels hot as well. This happens exactly after 6 months of warranty. Gonna call Aquaspans and let's see what they quote me. Remember the guy is call David. Will post here and let TS knows the costs. Gonna be the last time buying a china brand chiller.

how long have you been using the chiller? think some bros here mention that there are some ppl who can service the chiller.... do a search... u can find their contacts.
