The issue could be with the pump or a clog in the supply line. Since the tank is empty and the pump does not seem to activate, the machine may not be drawing water from the bottle. Try cleaning the supply line with fresh water and pressure. If the problem continues, the pump may need to be replaced.

Water leaking from the square tubing that holds the door switch in a Whirlpool appliance with part number 8LIECH-SC-SSS-5L-W could be caused by a cracked water bottle.

If your Whirlpool 8LIECH-SC-SSS-5L-W water cooler is not dispensing cold water, but the compressor is running and the indicator light shows normal operation, try the following steps:
1. Check the Blue Switch: Ensure the blue switch for cold water is turned ON. If it's OFF, the cold water function will not operate.
2. Allow Cooling Time: After setup, it can take over an hour for the water to reach cold temperature. The compressor may run continuously during this time to build the “Ice Bank.”
3. Inspect Cooling Tube: If only the section of the cooling tube closest to the compressor is warm and the rest is cold, there may be a refrigerant flow issue or blockage. This could indicate a sealed system failure.
If these steps do not resolve the issue and the cooling tube remains mostly cold, it may be a sealed system problem, which is difficult and expensive to repair. In that case, replacing the unit might be more practical.
