Hot/Cold Water Dispenser Temperature
Your Owner's Manual is a good source for troubleshooting water temperature issues. Download Owner's Manual
If you do not have access to the manual, here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Make sure the dispenser is not unplugged.
- Check to see if the house fuse is blown or the circuit breaker has tripped. This can happen if too many appliances are installed on the same circuit. Try unplugging a couple of devices on the same circuit.
- If you recently used a large amount of hot or cold water, give the dispenser at least 30 minutes to cool or heat the new water in the tank.
- The temperature limiter may have tripped. Set the hot and cold power switches (located on the back of the dispenser on some models to the O (off) position. Wait five minutes and then set the switches to the I (on) position. Wait 30 minutes for the water to cool down or heat up.
- Potential issues causing a warm chiller temperature:
-
- Poor or damaged seal on door/gasket
- Frequent openings of door (compressor will not run excessively, to cause freezing of cold water tank)
- Loss of refrigerant (evaporator runs to cold tank first, so feasible cold water is cool and chiller could be warm)
Note: We no longer have hot/cold water dispensers, and have not for many years.
