Unit keeps cycling off and on with the "bucket full" light blinking

It appears as if the water may not be flowing through the hose.
* When you use a hose the unit must be located near the drain. If the hose is to long the water will not flow freely and cause the water to back up in the hose triggering the bucket full.
* If the unit is lower or the hose runs up hill even the slightest incline will cause the water not to flow backing up to the machine
* Hose must remain flat and in a down hill flow to the drain if you are running a longer hose than recommended. If you are have a long distance to run the hose elevate the dehumidifieer by placing it on a stand, milk crate, anything that will hold the unit. Be sure it is large enough and strong enough to support the unit to prevent it from falling. This will help siphon the water from the unit and prevent any water to back up the unit.
* If your using an old hose make sure there are no kinks and water flows freely through the hose. Any kinks or type of pinch in the hose will cause the water to back up

I hope this helps resolve your issue. This is the most common mistake when using a hose.

Why does the air conditioner leak water from behind the unit. My air conditioner is placed in a wall and the back end of the conditioning unit sticks out inside the garage. I have ventilation by...

It is normal for an air conditioner to leak water out the back. This water is actually the humidity being taken out of your house. Being vented out in to the garage is always an issue with condensate water. I have seen some people take a funnel and run a hose outside the garage somewhere. Keep the vent closed. It will be harder to cool the house with the vent open because it lets outside air in to the house.

I have water coming into the freezer through a vent in the back. Where is it coming from and how do I stop it?

Hi and welcome to FixYa, I am Kelly.
Your freezer evaporator drain is clogged. Unplug the unit.... open the lower back of th unit by remvoing the fiberboard cover. Place an external fan directed into the freezer compartment for just over 2 hours. (Water mess) Use a vacuum to clear the debris from the catch pan basin in the bottom of the unit. Make sure to clen off the END of the compartment drain hose. Next revers the vacuum flow to exhaust. Force aire throught the end of the comaprtment drain hose to float out any debris in the evaporator drain funnel. Clean up the residual water and return the unit back to normal service. This should stop the water thatis caused by the automatic defrosting cycle from comeing through the evaporator acess panel vents.
Thanks for choosing FixYa,
Kelly

Bosch dishwasher SHU4000 problem starting, not draining

Drain problems are almost always going to be a clog. Disconnect the drain hose from the air gap vent at the sink top. Place a bucket under the hose and run the drain cycle. Unit should drain. If not, clog is either in drain hose or under the dishwasher's internal filter. Remove filter. Locate the item causing the clog and remove it. If nothing is found here, the problem will be in the air vent gap filter itself. Disconnect the other hose and remove the air vent gap from the sink. There's a small cap at the top of the filter. Press the clips in to remove the cap. Flush the unit with water or use a thin, long blade screwdriver to remove the debris.

Put it all back together and test again. You should be fine.

Dryer taking a long time to dry. Is it normal for the tube in the back to have water in it? I know water has to go somewhere, is it normal for water to accumulate in the tube/?

Sounds like the Vent hose is blocked.
Turn the Dryer on then go outside and check for air. If it's clogged ... Unplug the unit, take the hose off either at the dryer or outside vent, use something to probe the inside like a hanger , (put a small hook on the end) .. or completly remove the vent hose,take it outside ..see if you can see daylight , if not the unclog it.

Rheem powervent2 water heater not starting

I am guessing that their is a flag control(switch) in the airstream of the vent and it is now stuck in the closed position due to the snow, maybe. Find the flag switch and make sure it can move freely. It must move freely for the venter fan airstream to operate or move it.

Ice forming bottom of freezer leaking out the door

It is acutually a collector pan for the drain hose. When the refrigerator runs a defrost cycle (about every couple days), that pan collects the water from the ice that is melted and drains it through a hose inside the unit, to a pan under the unit. You will have to pull the back panel off the back of the freezer and melt it with either hot water or a hot blowdryer. Do it until you see the water draining freely into the bottom pan.
