Hello, if the unit has a drain it may be blocked and not allowing the water to drain. If no drain is present then the unit uses the condenser fan blade to scoop up the condensate and splash the condenser. This is done for two reasons, to keep the condenser cool and to evaporate the condensate

Fuse on asko dryer 7305 blows after a few minutes on

I assume you are talking about the reset under the little rubber plug on the back of the dryer? The most common cause for this is the very fine lint filter on these Asko's getting dirty and restricting airflow. It may LOOK clean, but unfold it, scrub the screen with a soft brush and dish soap, on all 4 surfaces then let it dry before using it. If this doesn't solve the problem, unhook the dryer vent and try running the dryer with the vent hose removed from the wall. If it doesn't trip then, you need to have your house vent cleaned out because it is restricting airflow. if THAT doesn't fix it, try removing the lower panel at the bottom, then remove the fan cover (kinda round and all the way to the left behind the panel) and checking to see if the blower wheel is clogged with lint, or if it has come loose and is not spinning at all. One of these is almost certainly your problem, unless this is a condensing style dryer. If that's the case then you probably just need to pull the condenser out and clean it.

Fridge not freezing meats

I was writing a big note here before then hit the wrong button, it was just a bunch of jargon anyway. Yes it is the condenser fan motor causing your problems. Doesn't cool the refrigerant properly than nothing works. I would change the fan before it causes any damage to the compressor.

Kenmore dehumidifier compressor on but doesn't collect water

clean the condenser in the front or the filter if it has one. no air flow to cool it down will result in overheating and no condensation collection across the evaporator coil.

No dash lights, power locks don't work, fuel gadge doesn't work, radio doesn't work.

all these circuits share some common fuses, check fuse #6 ( 10 amp ), fuse # 11 ( 15 amp ) & fuse #12 ( 10 amp ) all in the inside fuse box at the left end of the dash.....good luck

The middle or the sided refrrigerator is hot to the touch

Don't be concerned if it's not too hot, this is normal. However, you should be sure to read the manufacturer's instructions on how much ventilation space your model of refrigerator needs to operate well.
If the refrigerator is extremely hot, check to see whether your model has mullion heaters, which prevent condensation on the outside of the refrigerator. If so, you can turn them off, using the 'energy saving' or 'condensation' switch within the refrigerator.
If that doesn't help, perhaps the condenser motor is faulty. Call a technician certified for your model if this is the case.

It's getting gas, the battery's good, the fuel pump is working, & I just replaced the rotor, cap, plugs & wires. Every few weeks or so though, she just doesn't start. The only...

At first blush, it sounds like the distributor cap isn't seated. Since it's happening when the engine is cold and at night, I'm guessing condensation is causing the problem. Try spraying starter fluid on the cap the next time the car doesn't start. This will dispel any condensation. If the car starts, that would be a good place to start.

My brother in-law's AC doesn't start, heater works. He just replaced batteries in TH8110U honeywell thermostat lookd like beakers in electric panel were not tripped.

Check for voltage to the outside condenser , high 220 volts and low 24 volts . There may be fuses in the disconnect box also so check them . There probably will be open circuts in the condenser.
