The water cooler wont stop chilling the cold water. Normally, it would shut off once the chilled water has reaches a certain temperature, but now it runs continuosly. any ideas how to fix??
Hello! About 2 weeks ago, the same problem began on my Hamilton Beach water dispenser.
Last week, I called the HB service support, and they told me to do the following reset procedure:
1. Dispense 3 cups from the HOT water side, and also, 3 cups from the COLD water side.
2. Turn BOTH back switches OFF (the ones on the back of the water dispenser).
3. Unplug the dispenser, and LEAVE it unplugged for 24 hours.
4. After 24 hours, turn the back switches ON and plug it in.
5. Leave it on for 4 hours WITHOUT dispensing any water.
...it's been about 12 hours since I've dispensed water again for the first time, and so far, SO GOOD! I'll update if the problems reappear.
Model 87330 doesn't use compressor and freon, it is thermo electric
Hello mmmm,
Welcome,
how old is the unit?
And what did it cost you?
It has a bad thermostat.
Try unplugging it for 5 minutes and see if it resets.
If it runs continuously the compressor will soon burn out and die!
If not do not spend more than half of what it cost to repair it!
This is the rule of thumb.
You said ,The water cooler wont stop chilling the cold water. Normally, it would
shut off once the chilled water has reaches a certain temperature, but

For the guest that posted that they had the cooler for less than a year.
If you bought it new,then you should have a 1 year warranty.
Call the number in the user manual or in the papers that came with the cooler and they should rectify your problem or replace the unit!
If it was from Home depot or any large box store they will let you return it or exchange it with a receipt!

Said,my cooler doesn't get cold, what I mean is the water isn't as cold many
other coolers it's just above tap water. I looked for adjustment screw
or switch with no luck.
It sounds like a bad thermostat or low freon.
If it's new return it.
If you plan on fixing it.
Do not spend more than half the cost of the cooler!
Let me know what you do!
