I love my Haier HLP21N portable machine because I don't have hookups in my apartment. I have one of the older versions of this model and the manual that was included is missing a lot of important information!!! I simply wanted to replace my leaky 8-9 year old inlet hose and now, according to the NEW manual, I may have damaged the threads where the water inlet valve connects to the hose and possibly the water inlet valve itself. Before changing the hose, I was experiencing leakage near the faucet hookup and now with the new hose, water leaks and floods at the other end. I got an adapter for fine threaded connection but it didn't make a difference. I am also missing the elusive 'water absorption cushion' but it wasn't ever a problem... I am so frustrated!!! On top of all this, I just purchased a portable dryer but I can't even wash my clothes :(:(:( Does anyone who is familiar with this model know if the water valve needs replacing? or is it just the connection??

I need to disable the thermostat on my portable Frigidaire AC unit. I dont know the model number and unable to locate it but it is only about 1 year old and 110V window unit. The thermostat (I think) is only 2 wires and was sitting in front of unit behind filter, I moved it away from the cool air flow area but still does'nt keep the AC unit going only the fan. I am unable to adjust the electronic control below 60 degrees but need the AC to remain on at all times when unit is in operation. Does anyone w/ more knowledge than myself have the answer? I was wondering if I could just splice the 2 wires connected to the thermo sensor together w/ a wire nut shorting out the sensor? Thanks in advance for any help.
