Water will not dispense. I had unplugged the appliance to empty out the water and clean out the sediment buildup. Now it won't dispense, I've pushed the automatic button and pressed the button underneath by the spout and still nothing. On top of the appliance is an ON button, which I have that on too. The heating element is still working, just can't get the liquid to dispense.

My family has enjoyed the convenience and health benefits of drinking bottled water for several years. We have used a drinking appliance where the bottled is upturned and the water is gravity-fed. The water is then heated and cooled and served from hot and cold spigots. (I've seen other types of dispensers when the bottle goes upright inside the cabinet and is pumped into the water pitcher.)
The heated water quit working recently but the refrigerated part was OK. After noting how some members of my family used the dispenser, I have solved the problem. It is caused by the water level running too low in the mini water heater causing the element to burn out. Low water doesn't harm the mini-frig part. Low water levels are caused by using the bottle past empty and continuing to take water until it almost stops coming out. This "starves" the water heater, consequently burning out the element! Always replace the bottle on top before it gets past empty! If it gurgles considerably, it's filling up a nearly empty water tank probably with a burned-out element.
Maybe manufacturers can address this problem of too low water levels in subsequent models.
I was searching for this solution then I found the manual in a draw so to help anyone else with the same problem the method is: Descaling should be carried out every 3 months. Fill the appliance to max. Dispense maximum size cup to a large cup. Add descaler to the cup then pour back into appliance. Dispense the mixture in the appliance into the cup and disgard. Continue until applance is at minimum water level. Empty the appliance then refill with water and run it through the machine and disgard until its at minimum then empty the appliance again. It should be ready for use. You can use 1ltr white (and only white) vinegar instead of the descaler and water mixture.
NOTE: Not my instructions i just found something similar.
According to the instructions for Breville Hot Cup (presumably similar to yours - the adjustable flow one): 1. Fill it to the max and dispense one cup of water. 2. Add a citric based descaling product into the cup and stir. 3. Tip contents into kettle and close lid. 4. Dispense water from the kettle, discarding the water until it reaches the 'min' mark. 5. Empty remaining water into sink, rinse out with clean water. 6. Fill kettle with fresh water and dispense cups of water until it reaches the 'min' mark. Empty the rest into the sink, then refill ready for use.
I called 1-800-733-6270 (taken from http://www.zojirushi.com/servicesupport/manuals/manual_pdf/cd_lcc.pdf). The rep was very helpful. She suggested that there was probably residue stuck in the tubes. She suggested that I use citric acid solution and put it through a cleaning cycle. After the cleaning cycle, do not pour out the water immediately. Instead, dispense the water through the Dispense button, to clear out the tubes. It worked. I had just gone through a cleaning cycle before this problem happened to me, and gotten rid of big chunks of "crud" (especially the build-up around the filter).
Cheapest fix is to use white vinegar to disolve the building up of limestone hardness in your water. I am certain that you find it difficult to get soap to lather well, you have a bathtub ring every time you take a bath, your towels and sheets are stiff and scratchy and your lower legs itch terribly especially in the winter. You have very hard water and you need a water softener. Find a Certified Water Specialist in your Yellow Pages.
