Avanti Hot and Cold Water Cooler - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Check the fuses

Your thermostat is set to cold or is stuck in the on position, replace or turn it down

Either the taps pull off or unscrew. Think about it, the cover does not fit over the valves, so the valves must be removable .

No they don't.

avanti water dispenser WD50 where is the filter

I called a bunch of different numbers and finally found the people who can help with this. It's called Elite Group (877-383-6399) - I guess they're the ones licensing the Sunbeam name and making these water coolers. If you call that number with the model number, they'll replace the "top" part of the cooler, which should also have new taps, the lady said. The cost is $13.35

Mine stopped cooling too!!! It is only about 6 months old....

NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
Check Temp inside freezer. It has to be down to about 10 or 15 degrees
This can cause slow ice making if its too high even tho its freezing everything else at 25 degrees
The ref. temp should be about 33-35
The Freezer temp should be 0 to 10 Any thing below these temps is overkill and a waste of elect
The higher the number you turn it up to is the coldest
The icemaker is 110v
See if water is in icemaker.
Pour water in Ice Maker and wait to see if it ejects.
If it ejects thenyou need to replace water valve in rear bottom of fridge(Its the part that
attaches to water line out of wall)
If it doesn't eject then it is a faulty Ice Maker.
If its leaking or no water at icemaker or door either one, then the valve at the rear bottom of ref needs replacing
I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if freezer control is turned WARMER, which makes the Ref. colder
Also if it is getting drinking water to the door but not to the icemaker (or vice versa) Then you need to replace
the water valve at the bottom rear of the fridge. It is a double valve and one side is not working
Also this might be a common Defrost problem, Ice
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

Having same issue. Water cooler about a week old, in use in a small office with about 10 people and 2 5-gal water jugs consumed weekly.

The chiller for the cold water no longer works, and they display lights on the front and on/off switch in the back no longer light up. The hot water is working, I'm wondering if there is a potential recall issue with the unit.

Hi,
It will work either way....it's just that the cap makes it easier to turn over and not spill
Also if you have a cap you need to have the piercing thing...

CHECK UPPLY AND MAIL CIRCUIT

Hi,
On a small refrigeration system like that you need very specialized equipment and a ton of experience to make it work...also you will need to find the leak and fix it before filling it will do any good...
You will probably be better off getting a new one...

Your problem may re related to the recall of that model due to the child proof hot water handle. Go to:

It is oin the refrigeration unit, if it is not the power ie. outlet. Then not much you can cost effectively do. Could be compressor, dirty coils, thermostat or leaking refrigerant. I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/josh_87ce33216d7b2148

I'm not sure what you're asking. You can run a plastic tube from a faucet head to the reservoir of this water machine - liable to get messy/wet if not handled properly. You can also puncture a hole in the water bottle - toward the bottom (careful) and tape a plastic tube from the water bottle to nowhere - be sure to tape the end shut so you don't experience leakage - will get annoying over tiem.

Just call the manufacturer/distributor - if they can't fix it or replace it under warranty, just buy a new one.

My bottom loading water cooler is leaking form the pump fitting of the larger of the two tubes, are there replacement parts available?
