I have a 1 year old haier room air conditioner. Cools very well, but now is spraying cold water out of the vents. I have removed the housing and cleaned the inside out quite well, but it still sprays water.

Most air conditioners need water removed, not added. They act as dehumidifiers as they change the air temperature. What model air conditioner do you have? The Haier HPRD12XH5 has a blinking red LED with a triangle symbol to indicate the unit is flooded. Air conditioners can also fail if there is a coolant leak or the room is too cool. If the removed water freezes in the air conditioner, it can damage the fan and cause the motor to overheat.
The air cooling systems that need water added are "swamp coolers". That's the term I learned for the old-fashioned fan + ice/water cooling systems that work well in low-humidity environments. They'll make the area feel hotter in high humidity conditions.
I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the model of your unit for further information.
Sounds like the unit is just dirty. The AC pulls air through coils and contains dirt, pollen, grease and all type of pollutants. These contaminants will cling to the coils, reducing the AC ability to transfer heat.
U need that hose to direct the warm air outside the area to be cooled. If you remove it, the hot exhaust will stay in the room being cooled and negate the cold air being directed into the room.
That is why regular room AC units are mounted on window sill. Cold air in, hot air out.
My unit was working fine for a couple years but now it won't evaporate. It still cools fine but it also collects about 16 ounces of water every hour and then shuts itself off until I drain it. I'm wondering it the evaporative mechanism it broken some how.
Actually, sportsfan, you don't need to add any water. In fact, there is no way to do it. Your unit works much the same way a dehumidifier does with auto evaporation function. In other words, it collects the humidity out of the room air a evaporates it, so there is no water removal on your part involved. While this water is being evaporated, it's also being cooled, so that cools your room. The hot air of the unit running is exhausted out through the window vent kit.

Hope this helped answer your question. Please let me know. Thanks.
There is nothing to resolve. Your humidifier is working properly.
A humidifier works by condensing water out of air. This is the job of the cold coil, which you have found to have water dripping off. The Warm coil is not intended to re-evaporate the water, as this would just bring the relative humidity back to the origanal high level, rather, the warm coil is used to re-warm the air, going back into the room so the room does not get too cold. It is normal to have to empty the bucket and restart the process on a periodic basis.
What your problem is is that water coming back into your face is condesation. Appearently there is a clog preventing your condensation water from draining out the back side of the a/c You can remove the a/c from it's sleeve, take it outside and with a pump sprayer (Type used for spraying insecticide) filled with water spray around the base of the a/c where the condensor coil sits (you should see a small drain channel in this area) If this drain channel is clogged water will back up and the squirrel cage will pick it up throwing it out into the house.. Good Luck on your repairs
the way to verify if the thermostat switch is the culprit : is to shut off the power, "jumper" the thermostat> the device at the other end of the bulb you described, and see if it freezes you out... if the compressor kicks off while this switch is jumpered the compressor is the culprit.
Check to see that the air is flowing freely through the dehumidifier. They will accumulate dust particles and become plugged. Also make sure that it is not freezing up (you would see ice forming inside through the vent openings). I have had to remove the case to clean lint from some units to get them to operate more efficently. Always unplug the unit to clean and service it.
