Repair and disassembly guides for water dispensers.

Why won't my bottom load water cooler pull water from the jug?

My bottom load water cooler won't pull and dispense water from the jug. We've tried another bottle and made sure the cap with water tube is securely inserted. What can I try to fix it?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi @lauriehammell,

What is the make and model number of the water dispenser?

@jayeff Model: 1237BHC/YL1237S. Not sure of the make. The machine doesn't say but when I search this number I see Primo and Avalon.

Hi @lauriehammell

Found the user manual but that's about all I could find. Not that it is much help when troubleshooting

Since it is a bottom load, there must be a pump to pump the water up to the dispenser.

If the pump seems to be operating when trying to dispense water, maybe check that there's no air locks in the feed from the bottle to the pump.

Otherwise I don't know unless there a problem with the control board. Try resetting the device by removing the power for 5-10 minutes and then reconnecting it.

My water is not getting cold or hot

Hey angela holler at me

If your primo cooler is not pumping water, first unplug the unit for 24 hours and plug it back in. If it pumps, it's likely the temperature probe inside the cold tank that needs to be replaced. If it still doesn't pump after 24 hours, it's likely the pump that needs replacement.

Where do we get a pum or temperature probe, if needed? Who would service and do this replacement? An appliance repair person?
