NOTICE
A131408S-VR-BF4 Refrigerated Wall Mounted Drinking Fountain
ROUGHING-IN AND DIMENSIONAL DRAWING
This fixture is intended to dispense water that has been lowered in temperature, but otherwise remains
unchanged by the materials in the drinking fountain. It is common for electrical equipment to be grounded to
water lines either within a structure or away from it. Every attempt should be made to prevent this kind of
grounding from generating electrical feedback into the drinking fountain creating electrolysis. Electrolysis will
cause a metallic taste or cause water metal content to increase.
NOTES: Dimensions shown for Adult ADA compliant installation. For Child ADA compliant parallel
approach installation, decrease height of installation by 3 inches. Provide clear floor space as required.
Adjust vertical dimensions as required to comply with federal, state, and local codes.

DRINKING FOUNTAINS
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
IMPORTANT: BEFORE MAKING ANY OF THE REPAIRS LISTED, MAKE SURE THE
WATER CHILLER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND THE
WATER SUPPLY VALVE IS SHUT OFF.
1. ADJUSTMENTS:
d. Check the water inlet “Y” strainer. Sediment from the main supply can get trapped in the screen along
with installation materials such as pipe dope and flux. The screen should be cleaned and checked on a
regular basis and replace if needed.
f. Check flow adjustment. See start up note #3.
a. Check the electrical supply for power and correct voltage. The incoming voltage must be within 10% of
the rated voltage on the serial nameplate.
d. If all components check positive for continuity then test the wiring harness plug for continuity to see if
there is a broken wire within the wiring harness insulation.
c. Check for loose wires within the compressor box. The incoming power leads must be connected to the
overload and relay.
c. An incorrect refrigerant charge, restriction or defective compressor (not pumping) will also cause the
compressor to run without producing cold water. All these signs indicate a problem within the refrigeration
system and the water chiller must be checked by an authorized service company.
b. Cold Water Thermostat – The water temperature can be adjusted using a slotted screwdriver and turning
clockwise to make colder and counterclockwise to make warmer.
b. If the cold thermostat capillary bulb loses its charge or becomes kinked it will fail in the open position
causing a disruption of power to the compressor. Disconnect electrical supply to the water chiller and
using an ohm meter check for continuity across the two electrical terminals on the thermostat. Install a
new thermostat if there is no continuity.
b. Make sure the condenser fan motor is operative. The fan blade must turn freely to help remove the heat
of compression.
b. Check the incoming voltage to make sure it is within 10% of the serial nameplate rating.
a. Check to make sure the fan blade is rotating freely.
2. COMPRESSOR DOES NOT RUN:
c. Check for twists or kinks in outlet tubing.
a. Cartridge – The water flow can be adjusted using a slotted narrow blade screwdriver and turning
clockwise to increase flow and counterclockwise to decrease flow.
b. Check the compressor mounting to make sure the pins and clips are not rattling. If the compressor
appears to be noisy internally, it must be replaced.
c. Bubbler Stream - Bubbler can be rotated slightly to direct the stream backwards or forwards. Adjust the
stream to minimize splashing. Splashing may occur from bubbler stream if the unit is not level. Shim lower
mounting point, if necessary, to level chiller.
4. COMPRESSOR CYCLING ON OVERLOAD PROTECTOR:
b. Verify minimum 20 psig supply line flow pressure.
a. Ensure water supply service stop valve is fully open.
a. A dirty condenser or a blocked fan will cause a high head pressure and frequent cycling of the overload
protector.
3. COMPRESSOR RUNS - WATER IS WARM:
a. The most common cause for a water chiller to run without producing cold water is a loss of refrigerant.
The water chiller must be taken to a certified refrigerant technician for repairs.
d. Change the overload or relay if defective.
6. RESTRICTED OR NO WATER FLOW:
c. A restriction or moisture in the system will also cause intermittent cycling. A certified refrigeration
mechanic should be contacted in this situation.
5. NOISY OPERATION:
e. The cartridge valve located in the water control assembly or bubbler can also become clogged with
foreign material. The cartridge valve can only be replaced and not repaired.
g. Flow control in solenoid valve outlet elbow clogged remove & clean.

1. ADJUSTMENTS:
b. Cold Water Thermostat – The water temperature can be adjusted using a slotted screwdriver and turning
clockwise to make colder and counterclockwise to make warmer.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE MAKING ANY OF THE REPAIRS LISTED, MAKE SURE THE
WATER CHILLER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND THE
TROUBLE SHOOTING:
WATER SUPPLY VALVE IS SHUT OFF.
a. Cartridge – The water flow can be adjusted using a slotted narrow blade screwdriver and turning
clockwise to increase flow and counterclockwise to decrease flow.
2. COMPRESSOR DOES NOT RUN:
b. If the cold thermostat capillary bulb loses its charge or becomes kinked it will fail in the open position
causing a disruption of power to the compressor. Disconnect electrical supply to the water chiller and
using an ohm meter check for continuity across the two electrical terminals on the thermostat. Install a
new thermostat if there is no continuity.
c. Check for loose wires within the compressor box. The incoming power leads must be connected to the
overload and relay.
d. If all components check positive for continuity then test the wiring harness plug for continuity to see if
there is a broken wire within the wiring harness insulation.
3. COMPRESSOR RUNS - WATER IS WARM:
a. The most common cause for a water chiller to run without producing cold water is a loss of refrigerant.
The water chiller must be taken to a certified refrigerant technician for repairs.
b. Make sure the condenser fan motor is operative. The fan blade must turn freely to help remove the heat
of compression.
c. An incorrect refrigerant charge, restriction or defective compressor (not pumping) will also cause the
compressor to run without producing cold water. All these signs indicate a problem within the refrigeration
system and the water chiller must be checked by an authorized service company.
a. A dirty condenser or a blocked fan will cause a high head pressure and frequent cycling of the overload
protector.
b. Check the incoming voltage to make sure it is within 10% of the serial nameplate rating.
d. Change the overload or relay if defective.
a. Check the electrical supply for power and correct voltage. The incoming voltage must be within 10% of
the rated voltage on the serial nameplate.
5. NOISY OPERATION:
a. Check to make sure the fan blade is rotating freely.
4. COMPRESSOR CYCLING ON OVERLOAD PROTECTOR:
c. A restriction or moisture in the system will also cause intermittent cycling. A certified refrigeration
mechanic should be contacted in this situation.
c. Bubbler Stream - Bubbler can be rotated slightly to direct the stream backwards or forwards. Adjust the
stream to minimize splashing. Splashing may occur from bubbler stream if the unit is not level. Shim
lower mounting point, if necessary, to level chiller.
6. RESTRICTED OR NO WATER FLOW:
f. Check flow adjustment. See start up note #3.
a. Ensure water supply service stop valve is fully open.
g. Flow control in solenoid valve outlet elbow clogged remove & clean.
c. Check for twists or kinks in outlet tubing.
e. The cartridge valve located in the water control assembly or bubbler can also become clogged with
foreign material. The cartridge valve can only be replaced and not repaired.
b. Check the compressor mounting to make sure the pins and clips are not rattling. If the compressor
appears to be noisy internally, it must be replaced.
b. Verify minimum 20 psig supply line flow pressure.
d. Check the water inlet “Y” strainer. Sediment from the main supply can get trapped in the screen along
with installation materials such as pipe dope and flux. The screen should be cleaned and checked on a
regular basis and replace if needed.

1. Motors have lifetime lubrication and do not require scheduled maintenance.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
2. Excess dirt or poor ventilation will cause the compressor overload protector to turn the compressor off and it
will cycle on and off with no cold water coming out of bubbler. Periodically clean with vacuum cleaner, air
hose or brush the condenser fins and cabinet ventilation louvers. In environments where dirt and dust is
more prevalent, clean more frequently.
1. To Remove water spots or rust spots, stainless steel cleaner/polish on a cloth is recommended.
For Powder coated units: Units should be cleaned using a mild soap solution with a sponge or cotton cloth.
Wipe down surfaces then rinse with clean water.
3. Stainless steel should be kept clean at all times. If a coating of stainless steel cleaner/polish is maintained,
stainless steel surfaces will retain their new, clean, polished appearance indefinitely.
For Stainless steel units:
2. If there are stubborn spots or if you wish to treat a scratch, synthetic abrasive general purpose pads such as
scotch brite are recommended.
4. Periodically remove access panel of cooler and clean out inline “Y’’ strainer
3. Periodically remove fountain top and clean out in-line strainer.
