Since I know the hose has very little resistance it must be something about the dehumidifier that keeps filling the bucket and shutting this off. The #22 circuit breaker remains off. The GFI receptacle the car charger I was plugged into is not working, I cannot reset it. I tried but could not go as another outlet, they all appear to be covered by cabinets and the cabinets are much too heavy or close to car.
