This sounds like a stuck drain switch.

DO I NEED TO DRAIN THE WATER IN REGULAR USE?

The Everstar Model# MPN111CRBB4 is a portable air conditioner. Based on the information available, it does not require a constant drain to be hooked up. Instead, it is designed to collect the condensate water generated during operation in an internal reservoir or tank.
Typically, portable air conditioners like the Everstar MPN111CRBB4 have an automatic condensate removal system that uses the collected water to enhance cooling efficiency. When the internal tank reaches its capacity, a "full tank" indicator will usually illuminate on the control panel, indicating that it needs to be emptied manually.
To empty the water tank, you can follow these general steps:
  1. Turn off the air conditioner and unplug it from the power source for safety.
  2. Locate the water tank or reservoir on the unit. It is often located on the back or bottom of the air conditioner.
  3. Gently remove the tank from the unit. Be cautious as the water inside may spill if the unit has been operating recently.
  4. Empty the water from the tank into a suitable container or drain.
  5. Once the tank is emptied, carefully reinsert it back into the air conditioner, ensuring it is securely in place.
  6. Plug in the air conditioner and resume normal operation.
Regarding the ports on the unit, the top port you mentioned may be used for attaching an exhaust hose to vent warm air out of the room. However, it is not typically used for drainage purposes.

Power light is blinking and the system will not run

The blinking power light indicates that the water collection tank needs to be emptied. Be sure to turn the unit OFF & unplug it, before draining the tank. And while you're at it, now would be a good time to remove and clean the air intake filter. Once these 2 things are completed, the unit should run as designed.

Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Hi from retired Englishman in SW France,

If you have checked that the hot and cold water taps are turned on fully and the hoses are not kinked or squashed at the back, it is worth while checking both the hot and cold water inlet filters. Turn the taps off and remove both hoses at the washer end. Inside each inlet port there is normally a little filter which should just slide out. Clean if necessary and replace each one and the hoses.
If after turning the taps back on there is no improvement, the problem is symptomatic of a malfunctioning hot or cold water control valve. Sorry but it needs a service call ;-0(
If this has assisted you please consider a 4 thumbs up for the rating.
Thanks and good luck,
John C

How do i reset the waterfilter light

WATER FILTER CHANGE REMINDER

(Select Models)

For some refrigerator models featuring

water filters, the Water Filter Change

Reminder function monitors the life of the

filter and provides a reminder when it is time

for the filter to be changed.

When the system detects either 12 months

of usage, or the filtering of 416 gallons of

water (whichever comes first), the CHANGE

FILTER indicator light will illuminate. This

indicates that the water filter should be

changed and the light reset.

To reset CHANGE FILTER light: Press and

hold the LIGHT and LOCK pads until the

CHANGE FILTER light blinks (approx. 3

seconds). The control is now reset for 12

months or another 416 gallons.

Note: The Water Filter Reminder will

operate if the filter bypass is in place.

If you have other questions please let me know, Thanks Sea Breeze

I have a problem with my filter, its reverse osmosis. The filters are full of water but the tank is empty and not working.

Hello, first open the Reverse Osmosis faucet and see what the pace of the drip or water stream is. It should be a constant rapid drip. If it is, next disconnect the drain line of the RO System from the Drain Saddle Clamp attached to the plumbing under the sink. The Drain Water should be a "Steady Slow Stream" of water. If it is, next, take a Tire Pressure Gauge and attach it to the Shrader (Tire Valve) Valve at the bottom, side, or top of the storage tank to see what the air pressure is inside of the tank. The Tank pressure should be a minimum of 8-10 psi when completely empty of water. If the tank is empty you should be able to pick it up rather easy. If the air pressure is good in the tank, then next remove the primary Pre-Filter Cartridge from the first filter housing and reattach the filter housing. See if the Dripping from the RO faucet increases in Velocity or Pressure. If so, simply replace the filter. After performing these tests let me know what you discover. Thanks, Victor

Fuel gauge

Water in fuel
During refueling, it is possible for
water-contaminated diesel fuel to be
pumped into your tank. Your vehicle
fuel system is equipped with a fuel
filter/water separator to remove water from the fuel. The WATER IN
FUEL light will illuminate when the ignition is turned to START (as part
of the light function check) and when the FCM/HFCM has a significant
quantity of water in it.
If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the vehicle as
soon as safely possible, shut off the engine, then drain the FCM/HFCM.
Refer to Draining the FCM/HFCM and changing the fuel filters in the
Maintenance and Specifications section of this supplement for the
drain procedure. Allowing water to stay in the system could result in
extensive damage to, or failure of, the fuel injection system
