The underlying problem--one that persists even when the Hanja is known--is that Hanja characters don't have a single meaning; they usually have several, and not necessarily even in the same thematic neighbourhood.

It's true that knowledge of Hanja may significantly narrow down the number of viable alternatives, but it's rare for Hanja to yield a single universally correct translation, and it may even make things more confusing on occasion.
