I have a whirlpool dehumidifier it is on but will not absorb and water from my carpet

Unplug it and let it dry out. Place it on old newspaper and start. Check the paper and look for the wet spot. That will let you know where the water is coming out of the unit. Check that area, it is probably a bad seal on the drain or a crack in the water container.

If the hose is attached the previous answer seems valid and correct. However, I have had a AD75UST0 WHIRLPOOL Dehumidifier for several years. I noticed the port where the water collects to drain into the "tub" sometimes gets a slimy fungal growth on it. This is something that should be routinely cleaned . Just pull out the tub and look at top of Tub compartment. then wipe the portal with a cleaning cloth (use Lysol or similar if desired). This method helped mine significantly from "leaking". In the long run I placed a rectangular storage tub lid under it to protect carpet.

Place on max setting , draw the most moisture from air. Watch for mold in carpeting

Mine had the same problem. Make sure the unit is tilted towards the side with the hose attached (hose side low)
