How to hook up water hose

Check to be sure hot water valve is cut on and water is actually flowing from hose. Check hose and valve screens for debris. If water is on and screens are clear, water valve is most likely defective.

Get a vacuum cleaner that allows water to be picked up, like a wet and dry vac. Unhook the fill hoses from the unit and unplug it. Hook up the vacuum to the drain hose and remove the water from the machine. Lay the machine down so that you can see underneath it. Check the pump and hoses.

check to see if the screen is clogged were water hooks up to back of michine

you can go to the Home Depot or similar in your area and get a plastic tubing that connects to the Refrigerator, and should hook to the water supply, unless you have a different connection, in which case they can help you to select the proper supply tube. It's usually a small diameter plastic tubing with some connectors that crimp when connected to the unit and the wall supply.
Hope this is helpful

First, the hose should not exceed 5 feet in length. There is no pump in that model dehumidifier. It relies totally on gravity to drain through the hose.

If all of the above is as stated above, I suspect that hose or the tubing inside the hose connecting is clogged. Which forces the water into the bucket rather than the hose.

To remove the clog in the unit, you will need an 18" long plastic Zip Tie or something similar, that is appropriately sized to fit into the hose connection/drain hole. NO wire coat hangers though.

Carefully feed the Zip Tie in to the hose connection. About 6" in the tubing will bend. You need to gingerly work the Zip Tie past this bend, until the Zip Tie bottoms out or you run out of Zip Tie to work with. The slowly remove the Zip Tie while rotating it. This will breakup clog. As you near the end of the Zip Tie coming out, be prepared for some water to follow. DO NOT perform any of this while the unit is plugged in to the wall outlet.

Hope this helped you solve the problem, Robert. Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Welcome to FixYa I am Kelly. You have debris inside your water inlet valve. You can try to clean it by doing the following:

- First remove both hoses from the water inlet valve and remove the inlet screens of the water valve.
(Use a knife blade on the outer part of the screens to remove them from the water valve)
- Connect both hoses to the water inlet valve without the inlet screens.
- Connect ONE hose to the wall faucet
- Place ONE hose in a bucket

SELECT WARM WASH and start wash fill

Water should flow into the washer and the bucket. Use the handle of a screwdriver and tap the hose connections of the inlet water valve for about 20 seconds. (your trying to free the debris from the inlet water valve diaphram)

Stop Fill

Reverse Hose connection at the wall.... i.e. hook up other hose and disconnect the one you had connected. Place the hose you disconnected from the wall into the bucket.

START warm fill

Water should flow into the washer and the bucket. Use the handle of a screwdriver and tap the hose connections of the inlet water valve for about 20 seconds. (your STILL trying to free the debris from the inlet water valve diaphrams)

STOP FILL

- Connect hose to wall connection
- WASH the inlet screens under slowly running water until both sides are clean
- Remove hoses from the water inlet valve and install the inlet screens.
- Reconnect hoses and turn on water supply

TEST HOT and COLD fill

Turn off machine.... IF the debris was freed the water flow will stop when the machine is turned off.

If this flushing attempt does not correct your constant water flow the remedy is to replace the water inlet valve on your washer.

I can help with locating parts ON-Line but will need your model number to help you should you require a water valve.

Hopefully you are able to clear the debris by doing the above. (50 - 50 chance of it working)

Thanks for Choosing FixYa,
Kelly

If your shure that a hose is on wrong then there is a place it goesonto that is also wrong . Two wromgs. The only place that a hse could be on wrong is at the exhaust asperater tube that hooks the EGR vavle to the exaust manifold. The heater hoses hook next to each other behind the engine going though the firewall. Follow these hoses back to the motor and see that they don't connect to the pipe on the lower left side of the exaust manifold. If its doing that remove it and see if you can find another hose the same size that will reach the exhaust tube and connect it and vise versa connect the other hose there. The Hoses can be alright though and the engine has a bigger problem a blown head gasket or cracked head. On some models the catalist converter has a hose hooked to it remove it and see itf water comes out, if shouldn't but if it does follow it back to the engine and unhook it there. If water ( Coolant comes out ) ( You may Have to add coolant not water to the cooling system to tell ) then this connection should be connected to a heater hose that you found going thogh the firwall. If you still dont find the problem and the cooling system holds presure and the water coming out the tailpipe is coolant and the engine runs OK ( I dought it). All engines produce a little water when running mainly when run shortly and not warmed up, it will appear black in color and not smell like antifreze. A prankster could have put the garden hose or man hose up the tailpipe to worry you some suspect those that helped point out the water in the first place. The exhaust hoses hook up to the air cleaner housing and pipe and the water hoses hook to the firewall a pipe on the back of the block and a short pipe hooked to the water pump. Repair manuels have pictures of the hoeses in the cooling system chapters.

i think that is a heater hose

I am not to sure if this answers your question but I think you are asking which way the hot and cold hoses connect to the wasing machine? if this is the case if you look on the back of the washing machine you will see stamped in the metel a H for hot connect the hot water inlet hose to this, If it is not marked, hook up the hot water hose to the washing machine and place the water temp selector to hot and turn machine on if hot water comes out you have the correct hose hooked up,if not then the cold water hose goes were you hooked up the hot water hose. hope this helps
