Check the plug & outlet and the fuse/breaker. Is the unit getting power?
If the unit is getting power then the compressor is not working correctly. It could be out of Freon or the compressor its self is shot. Which is why you aren't getting cold water.
If you are getting cold water not hot then the heater unit is burnt. In some units the waste heat from the compressor is used which can explain why you're not getting either hot or cold.

Review this series of YouTubes: Troubleshooting a GE water dispenser and installing a GE heater element (part1). It will give you an idea on how your stand-alone unit works. Sadly, GE doesn't offer parts for this unit as they classify it as non-repairable.
The hot water is working fine but the cold water is not cold and compressor is switching on and off by itself and I just bought it newly and I don’t know what to do. Kindly assist

If you can hear the compressor running and it does not shut off, then the unit is low on Freon.

how to fix fereon
freon is a liquid inside the compressor used for cooling I think. But I'm not someone who has expertise in this type of repair.
If motor feels hot disconnect the plug
Where is the fuse??
How do I add Freon to a unit
