Troubleshooting Guide for Dispenser Model #900129
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. The water does not dispense from either tap.
A. In most cases, this would indicate an improper seal on the bottle. Your model is an
air pressure over water system designed to force air into the bottle. The air pressure
builds within the bottle to push water into the reservoir of the appliance. If the air seal
is compromised, water will not fill the reservoir causing the LED lights to blink and the
audible chirp alert to sound.
To resolve this, simply secure the hoses and the seal on the bottle. If your probe is
designed to snap on the bottle cap, please call customer service to receive the
upgraded seal and lock probe. Please see video for visual assistance.
Q. Water leaks from the tap.
A. A mineral build up occurs within the tap over time. Water drips from the tap as a
result. Follow the cleaning instructions below to resolve the issue. Click here to view

Questions and answers
The water freezes and does not drip.
The Primo Water 900129 may freeze and not drip if the cold water thermostat control is turned too far clockwise. This can cause the water in the reservoir to freeze, leading to blockages that prevent water from dispensing. The thermostat should not be adjusted more than ¼ turn to avoid freezing.

my primo hot dispenser was working fine, until yesterday. the cold dispensers work fine. the hot water is cold. I drained the reservoir as instructed. I will try it again. is there a heating coil or something that went bad?
No, a heating coil issue is not indicated. If the hot water is cold, ensure the unit has had 15–20 minutes after setup to heat, the power cord is properly connected to a working outlet, and the energy-saving switch is ON.
