Troubleshooting Guide for Dispenser Model #900161
Q. The cold water is room temperature.
A. There is a cold water thermostat control mounted to the back of the majority of our
appliances. Simply unplug the power cord of the appliance. Pull the appliance away
from the wall so you have free access to the back. Do not remove anything from the
appliance; simply locate the dial which resembles a gold/brass-colored flathead
screw in the area of the black condenser coil grill. Use a flat screwdriver to adjust
the dial clockwise to cool the water. Do Not adjust this piece more than ¼ turn.
Turning the control too much will cause water to freeze in the appliance's reservoir
and may lead to other issues.
Q. Water leaks from the tap.

result. Follow the cleaning instructions below to resolve the issue. Click here to view
