Brand New from Menards, doesn't take any water out of the air

Most likely there is a bad joint in the sealed system. This can happen to any manufacturer, as most are shipped from overseas (your Haier came from China) and do get joseled around a bit in transit. That's one of the reasons for factory warranties. I would caution that next time you make an appliance purchase, you find out where you woild be able to obtain warranty service if it would ever be needed. Retailers such as Menards, Home Depot, and the like do not provide service. They tell you to call an 800 number. Better to find a seller who has their own service department. Many of the smaller retailers do service, and sell for about the same as the big boxes. If you ever need help, you'll get it there.
