In general, the product of two harmonic differential forms is not harmonic. However, for Kähler manifolds, the product of two harmonic forms is harmonic. What is a counterexample for the first statement and how do I prove the second? Thanks.

Products of harmonic forms are not always harmonic, not even on a Kähler manifold. The simplest counterexample is on a Riemann surface of genus at least two (which is obviously Kähler with respect to any metric). All harmonic one-forms have zeros because the Euler characteristic is non-zero, so the wedge product of two harmonic one-forms has zeros. But the only harmonic two-forms are the constant multiples of the Riemannian volume form, which have no zeros (unless it is the zero multiple).
This and related issues are discussed in the paper
