The water in my cooler is only coming put of 2 tubes & barely dripping on the other two and The pump is new. Any suggestions hi ow to fix this?

Some others addressed this issue on Fixya.com before:
Brett 42 said: the water line is froze.. I took a hair dryer and applied it directly to the dispenser for about 10 minutes. I then held down the buttton for approximately 30 seconds and the water began to drip extremely slowly then faster until a small chunk of ice shot out of the dispenser. I believe the reason this happened was that I the temp of my freezer set lower than the fatory setting.
Mike Smith said: "1) remove the tubing connector behind refrig kickplate . Press for water . If no water comes from tube under refrig , then possibly frozen tank but probably not . Probably bad water inlet valve . ( tank is in the lower potrion of the refrig section behind the crispers ) .
2) if water does shoot out , then your freezer door is frozen which requires leaving door open and tapeing light switch closed and tape plastic around freezer section opening so fridge will continue to operate normally . Thawing freezer door could take a day or 2 . 3) You can plug the hoses back togather and walk by occasionally pressing water untill comes out . Lower your freezer temperature setting also ( could be set for too cold)"

I hope this helps you out!

Is it a leak or a drip? A leak means you have continuous running water and a drip is more inconsistant.

I would suspect that you have a drip, that is caused by your cooling tube having frost or ice buildup in it, which is quite common for some units. The fix that seems to work the best is to defrost your unit, making sure the cooling tube is completely free of ice and frost by blowing hot air from a hair dryer down it. Then cutting a piece of bare electrical (solid core) wire that will fit down the tube but not extend past the opening. Then you form a hook and put it around your defrost heater.

That way the heat from the defrost heater will be transferred down the wire and keep the tube free of ice and frost.

Yes, there should be a water/condensation pan under it with an overflow drain that takes the water down off the roof. Perhaps, whomever installed your new roof, removed the drain tubing and forgot to put it back.

It is not really leaking water (did you put water inside?) ... that is probably condensate ... a by product of the cooling process. Are you in a high humidity area? If yes ... that is the primary reason for this water.

Here in North America, we think that only white wine should be chilled and then only to 'celler' temp (or about 55 degrees F.

You may be able to reduce the water problem if

(1) up the temp in the cooler (it isn't a refrigerator - don't use it as one)
(2) don't put 'hot' wine inside
(3) put a small fan blowing on the cooler to help evaporate the condensate.

If the water is a big problem, sit your frig on a big tray, similar to the one you might put under your car in the garge to catch dripping oil.

I hope you find these suggestions helpful.

Thanks for visiting and please come again.

if the drips are coming from the water pump, than you definitely need a new water pump. if the leaks are coming from the radiator itself and not around an inlet or outlet hose, than the radiator also needs to be replaced as most radiators are cheaper to just replace than fix providing they can even be fixed at all.The web site Radiator Barn has the best deals on radiators that I have found to date.

You need to get the pump "primed" with water going through it.

If the machine is new or has not been used in a long time, the plastic feed tube(s) in the reservoir will be dry. You have to get the water to slowly creep up these tubes until it hits the pump inside, then the water/steam will come out the head and will keep coming out each time you use it until it dries out again.

I've had to re-prime my Via Veneto several times, and each time it seems like I'm doing it wrong and the machine is broken. But follow these steps and you'll get there.

1. Fill the reservoir with water and put the two tubes in it.
2. Turn on the boiler button (left-most of the two narrow ones)
3. Don't put the portafilter on, just leave the head bare.
4. Turn on the pump and let it run. Watch the water level in the plastic tubes. Understand that at this point, the pump is just pumping air, which it is not designed to do efficiently. As it pumps the air it slowly draws water up the tubes. Really slowly.
5. You can speed this up by putting a cup under the steam tube and opening the steam valve. This is while the brewing pump is still on. You will have hot water squirting out of the steam tube. You may see the water moving more quickly up the tubes.
6. The pump may have to run for several minutes. You'll get impatient and scared something is wrong, but just let it run. You'll see the water creep up the tube and go into the unit. Soon afterward pressurized water will start spraying out of the head.

Now, keep it primed for months by keeping water in the reservoir. If you use it only infrequently, run the pump and at least get some water moving every week or so.

I've tried silly things like holding the tubes upside down, trying to get water forced up into them, but in the end, just let the pump do the work and be patient.

sounds like where the water pump meets the engine has warped or the gasket has been blown. Since the water pump has to come out anyway to fix it then i would suggest replacing the pump. It is 30 to 40 more.

hi,

Please check the control.

1. Make sure the pump is getting plenty of water.

2. Make sure the pump is working.

3. Check the pvc pipe with drip holes are not plug. (above the pads )

4. Check the pads directional arrow that should be facing up. When pads are initially installed you can see arrows on the pads. The arrows should be in the up direction. That will allow the pads to get saturated more efficiently.

I hope these steps help you.

Jerry,

sounds like the water valve is not sealing all the way... you can take the hose off the water valve in back of the refregerator and put a cap on it
