If the temperature on the digital meter of your Haier HRF-380H refrigerator is displaying "F3" and the refrigerator side is not cooling properly, it could indicate a problem with the fridge's temperature sensor or a related issue. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the problem:

Power cycle the refrigerator: Turn off the refrigerator, unplug it from the power source, and wait for a few minutes. Then, plug it back in and turn it on. This can sometimes reset the system and resolve temporary issues.

Check the temperature sensor: The "F3" error code typically indicates a problem with the temperature sensor. Locate the temperature sensor in the refrigerator section (usually near the back wall) and ensure it is properly connected. If there are any visible signs of damage or corrosion, the sensor may need to be replaced.

Verify proper ventilation: Ensure that the vents and airflow channels inside the refrigerator are not blocked by food items or other objects. Adequate ventilation is necessary for proper cooling.

Clean the condenser coils: Over time, the condenser coils at the back or bottom of the refrigerator can accumulate dust and debris, hindering their ability to cool the fridge. Clean the coils using a vacuum cleaner or a brush to remove any dirt buildup.

Check the door seals: Make sure the door seals are intact and creating a proper seal when the doors are closed. Damaged or loose door seals can allow warm air to enter the refrigerator, affecting its cooling efficiency.
