Repairing Bottled Water Coolers

Water needs to be stored at times and for this big or small containers or dispensers are required. Dispensers, help to store and keep water cool. At times some coolers malfunction and as a result, repairing the bottled water coolers is a necessity.

If the compressor is found non-functional, the electrical receptacle for correct power and voltage should be checked with a voltmeter. It needs to be verified that the wires from the wall cord are connected to the two power terminals on the cold thermostat. The continuity needs to be checked and it should be ensured that the wires from the wall cord are connected to the two power terminals on the cold thermostat. The wiring harness could sometimes develop an "open" or disruption of electrical flow and it would need to be replaced if all other electrical components are satisfactory and working. It is good to double-check the relay, overload and PTC Starter and be assured that they are in working order, by conducting a continuity test.

The most common problem faced is when the compressor is functional, but does not cool the water. This is caused by a gas leak within the sealed system. Any sign of oil within the cooler, indicates a loss of this gas. The bottled cooler condenser should be cleaned periodically and installed at least 2 -4 inches away from the wall for proper air circulation. The bottled water cooler must be cleaned regularly and placed away from the wall. If the relay or overload is defective, it needs to be replaced.

If there is no water from the cold faucet, then the faucet needs to be replaced. Incase of noisy operation, the wires need to be checked. The bottled water coolers can be repaired at home or by a recognized, authorized dealer.
