What is a "drain plug"??? Never seen one on a fridge ;)
Clean the drain pan and drain line in the back of the freezer section underneath the evaporator coil. Make sure water drains when you pour it in.
Good luck! :)

I have sasui mobile type ari condition uni. there is a problem with water coming out from back side. water not going though drain line. cooling dosent have problem.

Check the elevation of your a/c unit. The elevation at the back should be lower than the front. Test by pouring water from the cooling coil and check if the water you pour goes to the condensate drain line. If water does not comes out, check if it has a small drain pump and a float switch to activate the drain pump. The float switch that does not actuate if water level rises may be the reason why water does not comes out of the drain line.

I have a Culligan AC 30 aqua-cleer drinking water system;after changing the particle filter and the carbonfilter , the storage tank does not fill.I have pumped air in it to pressure 0,7 bar.

When you put air in the tank did you make sure all the water was out of tank? In a three gallon tank there should be 7 lbs of air, 10 gallon 10 lbs of air.
There can be many reasons for no water in tank.
1. Bad bladder in holding tank. No back pressure on membrane (all water going to drain)
2. Faulty membrane (all the water going to drain)
3. Bad capillary tube (all the water going to drain)
4. Plugged check valve at top of membrane (no water)
5. Faulty water feed valve (piercing valve)
6. Fines from post carbon filter have plugged up the manifold (head) of RO unit.
7. Bad valve on RO tank
8. Plugged drain line

My Side by side frigidair refrigerator is leaking. The water is coming from the bottom of the refrigerator on the ice maker side. What could be causing this problem? FYI - the refrigerator works just fine...

Leaks are always some loose joints in the water drain or a possible pipe leak.
Now your observation to the leak is most important to the solution as a good view using a good lighting will allow you to get the first hand view to the issue.
I recommend that you get help to see the underside of the fridge using good lighting.
Once this is confirmed make sure if this is the drain defrosted tank or a flow line. If so drain and check, check if the defrost tray line is leaking from the water line. If so readjust or plug the leak.

Machine runs but doesn't allow water to come into machine

Don't know the history of your machine, sounds like possibly the hot water supply valve under your sink is turned off. To check this go under your kitchen sink and inspect water supply valves, (right side cold water) left side hot water valve feeds the machine. Vertical water line is for sink above, there should be a second water line coming off this valve that has its own on/off knob. Make sure this knob is turned on, (counterclockwise)if not sure turn it to the right (clockwise)till stops, then to the left till it stops. This allows hot water to enter dish machine. If valve is on and line is ok, there might be a kink in the line behind the dish machine or a restriction (clog) in the water line. May need to unplug machine and unsecure it to pull it out for inspection. Good luck,best regards.

The tank will not fill up, air pressure is good in tank

There are several things to look for here.
1. Turn the feed valve off. Take the product line off the RO tank (shut the tank valve off first), turn
the feed valve back on and see if water is coming out the product line to RO tank
2. Make sure the feed valve is supplying water. If it's a piercing valve they can get plugged with debris.
3. Make sure there is water going to the drain
4. If the filters were just replaced, remove them, inspect them thoroughly and re-install
5. In an empty 3 gallon RO tank there should be 7 psi pressure. If there is too much pressure it will
prevent the tank from filling up.
6. Make sure there are no kinks in any of the RO lines.

During heavy rain water flows over my feet! Where does it come from??

most vehicle have a rubber drain plugs on driver and passenger side under the carpet. keep in mind you don't want to get lots of water under your seat because the computer mod sit right under the seat, if it gets wet it will cost you big buck to replace. good way to check it, next time when you get the next oil change or get the car up in the air, ask the mechanic to look at the rubber drain plugs at the bottom of your car and see if it still there and in good condition. pulling and lifting the carpet its not good idea and lots of work. If the the floor drain plugs looks good then check sunroof if you have one, check the seal around the roof making sure its has a good seal; it may not have a good drain. The last resort will be the fresh air duct from outside in front of the car next to front windshield, which is leaking through the unit. good way to also check the problems is take the vehicle to the car wash using high pressure water gun and spray in it fresh air duct for minute or two and see if its leaking through. hope that help some good luck

Older maytag fridge side by side.

Buk, there's supposed to be a drain pan under your fridge to catch the water that comes from the drain tube. The water that's coming out is supposed to be there (only, it's supposed to be caught by the drain pan)... it's the water that's made when your fridge defrosts itself. If you plug the tube, the water will back up inside the fridge , puddle up in the bottom and eventually leak out through the door.

You should order a drain pan for it. Here's a link to one online. After you have it in place, you won't have to worry about it anymore. The water that collects there will simply evaporate back into the air.
