IMPORTANT
This Fixture is not suitable for installation in an area where a water jet could be used as well as in environments where
freezing may occur. This fixture dispenses water that has been lowered in temperature, but otherwise remains
unchanged by the materials in the Water Cooler. 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 Water Cooler creating electrolysis. Electrolysis will cause a metallic taste or
cause water metal content to increase.
NOTE: A Dielectric Coupling must be used to connect the Water Cooler to the water supply. A nonmetallic Coupler is
furnished with this Water Cooler to meet this requirement.
**NOTE: Only -VR Series units are rated for outdoors. Refer to page 5 for complete details and requirements.
ROUGHING-IN AND DIMENSIONAL DRAWING
Prior to roughing-in, consult with local, state, and federal codes for proper mounting height. All installation and service
may only be performed by authorized personnel. No unauthorized persons shall have access to the service area.
Mounting Carrier: Refer to Installation details provided by Carrier manufacturer when unit is to be installed with In-
®
Wall Mounting Carrier (provided by others). Compatible J.R. Smith brand Carrier model is Figure # 0830.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
IMPORTANT: BEFORE MAKING ANY OF THE REPAIRS LISTED, MAKE SURE THE WATER
COOLER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY AND THE WATER SUPPLY
VALVE IS SHUT OFF.
IMPORTANT : ASSUREZ-VOUS QUE LA FONTAINE D'EAU POTABLE RÉFRIGÉRÉE SOIT
DÉBRANCHÉE DE LA PRISE DE COURANT MURALE ET QUE LE ROBINET D'ALIMENTATION
D'EAU SOIT FRMÉ AVANT D'EFFECTUER LES RÉPARATIONS NÉCESSAIRES.
1. Adjustments:
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. 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 points, if necessary, to level Water Cooler.
c. Cold Water Thermostat – IMPORTANT: Thermostat is Factory pre-set. Thermostat settings
should never be field adjusted since damage to fixture may occur, voiding product Warranty.
2. Compressor Does Not Run
a. Check the Power Supply Cord.
b. Check the electrical Receptacle for power and correct voltage. The incoming voltage must be
within 10% of the rated voltage on the Serial Nameplate.
c. The Cold Thermostat is accessible by removing the Bottom Access Cover. 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. Unplug the Water Cooler 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.
d. Check for loose wires within the Compressor Box. The incoming power Leads must be
connected to the Overload and Relay.
e. 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 Cooler to run without producing cold water is a
loss of refrigerant. The Water Cooler 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.
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 Cooler must be checked by an
authorized service company.
4. Compressor Cycling On Overload Protector
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.
c. A restriction or moisture in the system will also cause intermittent cycling. A certified
refrigeration mechanic should be contacted in this situation.
d. Change the Overload or Relay if defective.

5. Noisy Operation
a. Check to make sure the fan blade is rotating freely.
b. Make sure the water cooler is correctly mounted to the wall. Absence of the two lower
mounting bolts may cause excess noise and vibration.
c. 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.
6. Restricted Or No Water Flow
a. Ensure water supply service stop valve is fully open.
b. Verify minimum 20 psig supply line flow pressure.
c. Check for twists or kinks in bubbler tubing.
d. Check the water inlet 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.
NOTE: STRAINER SCREEN MUST BE IN PLACE FOR WATER TO FLOW.
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.
f. Check flow adjustment. See start up note #3.
g. The water cooler may develop a freezing condition in which the water will become
frozen inside the evaporator coil. This indicates a refrigeration problem or thermostat
failure. Disconnect the electrical power and have the unit checked by a qualified technician.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE GUIDE:
1. Motors have lifetime lubrication and do not require scheduled maintenance.
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.
3. Periodically remove access panels and clean out in-line strainer.
4. Do NOT use harsh chemicals, abrasive or petroleum based cleaners. Use of these will void the
warranty.
5. Exterior panels can be cleaned using mild household detergents or warm, soapy water. Extra care
must be used cleaning chrome plated items and mirror finished stainless steel. They can scratch
easily and should only be cleaned using a clean, soft cloth and mild soap with water or a mild glass
cleaner.
