How to Repair a Water Cooler?

Answer 1

The most common problems with water coolers are blockages, temperature, and taste. It can be easy to fix a water cooler if it is one of these problems. To make sure these problems do not occur again, you can keep up with maintenance. The more you maintain it, the easier it will be to fix it if a problem does arise.

If you are no longer getting cold water, the freon level might be off. If the freon is the problem, a professional would have to come in and refill it. This is because you must be a certified professional or you can not legally handle freon. Another reason could be that the coils are not clean. You must unplug the water cooler and wipe them off if hot or cold water do not come out.

You can reset the water cooler if the water freezes or is not getting cold at all. You should drain a couple of cups of water out of each side of the water cooler. You turn the switches off that are behind the water cooler. Then, unplug it and leave it unplugged for one day. When it is turned back on, do not forget to turn the switches back on. Now, you need to wait five hours before dispensing any more water to see if it worked.

If the taste is the problem, you should try cleaning the cooler and the dispensers to clear the taste. Because it is dark in the dispensers, mold can grow and block the water flow and leave a bad taste. The water cooler should be cleaned out at least two times a year. If it is the dispensers that are the problems, you can go out and buy some new ones. Whether the valves are dirty or not, you may want to replace them if nothing else is working. Most water coolers are not too expensive, so make sure that you are not paying more to fix it than its price. You may want to just get a new one, or if you rent your cooler, the company might replace your water cooler for one that functions correctly.

When the water cooler tank runs dry it’s time to change it out. If you use the following instructions, you can replace your water cooler tank without spilling or making a mess. Here is how to do it.

First, remove the empty tank from the water cooler. You should then set it aside and use a slightly wet cloth to clean out the room of the water cooler. You should also use the damp cloth to clean the new water cooler tank as well. Water cooler tanks have typically been sitting around for quite some time before you decide to install them in your water cooler. They will be covered in dust particles that have accumulated on them from the air. This dust and other debris will get inside your water cooler and your drinking water if you do not remove it properly before installation.

The next step is to remove the cap from the top of the new water cooler tank. It should be made of plastic in most cases, and there will be a tab on the cap. If you pull on this tab then the bottom half of the cap will separate from the top half along a scored line. The plastic cap will then come right off of the water cooler tank.

If you are right handed, then you should lift the new water cooler tank by wrapping your right hand around the neck of the water cooler tank. You should then use your left arm to hold the bottle from below, with your left hand clasped tight around the edge of the tank.

Hold the water cooler tank next to the water cooler, and carefully tilt it until it begins to pour water in to the cooler. Start off pouring slowly so that it doesn’t splash. When it starts to pour faster you should invert the water cooler tank quickly, placing it directly in to the water cooler. You need to make sure to do this fast enough. If you hesitate, the water cooler might overflow. Once the tank is in the water cooler you should adjust it so that it is centered in the water cooler’s opening.
