If the light fixture is leaking you will need to remove light housing and put a small bead of silicone around the face flange and reinstall it.

Water sometimes leaks out of the bottom of machine

Seen this on my LG. Fixed it by getting a level and then using it to make sure the front of the machine is a little higher up than the back.

Water leak at bottom of Whirlpool Estate washer. Removed the cabinet. No leaks from the water pump, hoses or inlet valve. The tub leans a little toward the front of the machine. When filling/rinsin

It is common on Whirlpool models for the water to splash out the top when filling especially when sheets or nylon cloth is loaded in the washer. Air fills the cloth and balloons the garment up this caused water to bounce off the garment and splash out the back. This is the most common reason for those mysterious leaks. Lowering the water pressure coming into the washer can help prevent this.

The unit is not drawing water from the air

Mary,
There is a recall on Whirlpool dehumidifiers that may cover your unit, the website lists serial numbers of units on the recall list.
Dehumidifier Recall FAQs
I assume from your question that at least the fan is running. There are many reasons why a dehumidifier is not removing water from the air. Most likely is accumulation of dust and pet hair that restricts the air flow. If you can, unplug it, take off the covers and vacuum out all the dirt from the evaporator and condenser (little radiator like parts). This website has some good blow up pictures of how it is put together and part nomenclature:
WHIRLPOOL DEHUMIDIFIER Parts Model AD25J3 SearsPartsDirect
If the air flow is restricted, the compressor has to work harder to the point that the overload gets tripped. It may or may not be resettable; it is part #10 in the diagram on this page:
http www searspartsdirect com Whirlpool Dehumidifier Parts Model AD25J3...
If you do take the covers off, check that the fan turns freely and you may want to add a drop of oil to each end of the motor if there is a place to oil it. Light oil like sewing machine oil or light engine oil will do.
You cannot really tell if the compressor is working with all of the covers on; and I cannot recommend plugging it in with covers removed because there may be open electrical connections that you do not want to touch. However if the compressor is running, the outlet tube will get hot; that is the one that goes to the condenser [radiator like bundle of tubes nearest the fan] [it may get too hot to touch]. The evaporator [bundle of tubes farthest from the fan] should start to get cold where the tiny little tube from the condenser joins. If neither is happening and you are sure the compressor is running, it is out of refrigerant [freon] and may or may not be worth fixing. If the evaporator ices up [gets covered with frost] it may be low on refrigerant indicating a leak; again it may not be worth fixing.

I have a leak where The air switch is. The leak is where the tube meets with the box. Would that be a seal?

The Air Tubing presses onto the little nipple on the underside of the air button. There is no seal on this set up. Once the air hose is attached to the nipple there should no air leakage when the air button is pressed.
Before you install the air hose you might cut off half inch on the end to make sure the end has not splits and you get a good piece of hose so it will seal properly.

My cabrio washer is leaking badly

Call the whirlpool factory and tell them you are calling about a recall, they replaced my motherboard for free to keep me as a satisfied customer. Doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Engine light on 2003 dodge 5.7 hemi read small vaccum leak new gas cap new purge sensor

Since they went with the plastic tubing and quick disconnects. I would use a flash light and check the orings inside the quick disconnect tubing. They can dislodge or be torn from the factory, a little nick is a small leak. Fixed a few like this.

Dishwasher (whirlpool quiet partner II) leaks from the door panel

I think I solved the door leaking problem by cleaning out the plastic filter screen on the inside (left) door panel. Didn't even know it was there, never knew it was suppose to be cleaned! It was so clogged and gross. I also discovered that my washer had shifted and was off balance. It has wood shims under the steel casing and one block was loose. No doubt from slamming and banging the door open and closed. Had to take the front skirt and kickplate off to see. I had my son use a lever and hoisted it up a little while I replaced the block shim now making the washer level again. Ran a light wash before fixing problems and it leaked. We ran a light wash after the fix's and so far so good. Haven't ran a regular longer wash yet. My water level was fine, no gasket problems, no washer wand cracks, etc... My husband was thrilled! When he came home, I informed him I have good news and not so good news. The not so good news was dinner was going to be late, the good news was I fixed the leaking (for months!)dishwasher and saved alot of money on repairs!

**Cleaned filter screen, made dishwasher level again.

We purchased a Whirlpool portable air conditioner in 2005 from Best Buy. Near the end of last summer the air conditioner started leaking water. We started using it again this season and it is still...

Check to see if the drain is blocked by particles/debris of any type. Also make sure that the unit is level--as level as possible. I have my Whirlpool Portable AC in 4 inch bed risers so I can drain it really easily. I slip under a small low rise pan and drain it every two days or so when it is running. Mine leaked when I tried to incline it backwards to make it drain faster. As soon as I leveled the unit the leak stopped and water again came out the hose. These units must be kept level to prevent leaks so now I always do that.
