unlikely to experience...
Water from the cold water tap is warmCheck the cooler is plugged in and switched on at the wall.
If the cooler has just been used extensively leave to re-chill for 15 minutes.
Check with another electrical item that the electricity outlet works. If it works, change the fuse on the cooler plug.
Check the thermostat at back of cooler and adjust to reduce temperature.
Water is appearing on the floorCheck to see if the drip tray needs emptying.
Check to see if bottle is leaking and/or cracked. If so, the bottle will be replaced free of charge at the next delivery. Remove the bottle from the cooler and mark as faulty. Put fresh bottle on cooler.
No water flows from the tapReplace the bottle, if empty.
There may be an air blockage. Lift the bottle off the cooler and place back on. Perform this procedure 2 or 3 times. Ensure that there are cups positioned on the cup station and open both taps.
There is a plastic cap or sticker floating in the bottleThe self-sealing valve has come loose from the cap. There is no action required. The water quality has not been compromised. While the bottle is on the cooler it is still sealed within the probe mechanism. Do not lift the bottle until empty or the water will escape.
The protective sticker has been pushed inside the bottle. Remember to remove the sticker.
