compartment may need to be cleaned and defrosted more
frequently.
Defrosting
1. Unplug water cooler.
2. Remove all food and the shelf from the refrigerated
compartment. Store the food in another refrigerator or a
cooler with ice.

1 qt [26 g to 0.95 L]).
2. Replace the shelf.
3. Plug in water cooler.
4. Allow the refrigerated compartment to cool completely before
storing food.
TROUBLESHOOTING
First try the solutions suggested here and possibly avoid the cost of a service call...
Cooler does not heat or chill water
■Is the power supply cord unplugged?
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
■Has a household fuse blown, or has a circuit breaker
tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
■Is the Power button selected?
Check to see if the green light is on.
■Are the Hot water and/or Cold water buttons selected (on
models WHKM-D10 and WHKM-D20)?
Check to see if the power button light is flashing. If flashing,
power is off. Turn on.
Water cooler leaks on the outside (by the top)
■Is the water bottle cracked?
A crack in the water bottle may be invisible to the naked eye.
Replace bottle.
Water cooler leaks on the floor
■Is the drain plug installed and tightened?
Check drain plug and tighten. See “Cleaning”in “Water
Cooler Care.”
Water is not cold enough
■Is the cold temperature set at the correct temperature?
The cold water temperature select is located on the front of
the water cooler. Water should be 41°F to 54°F (5°C to 12°C)*.
Adjust Variable Temperature Selector (on models WHKM-
D20, WHKM-D30, and WHKM-D40). See “Operating the
Water Cooler”in “Water Cooler Use.”
No water comes out of cooler
■The reservoir may be empty.
■Ice may have built up inside the reservoir.
Raise the water temperature, located on the front of the
cooler.
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
WARNING WARNING
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install bottles.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
*Tested in environmental chambers at 77°F (25°C).

13
Water cooler is noisy
The water cooler is equipped with a refrigeration system. It is,
therefore, normal to hear a refrigerator-like vibrating sound as
part of the operating cycle. For hot water models, it is also
normal to hear boiling sounds at regular intervals.
Water is not hot enough
The hot water temperature is adjustable from 140°F to 192°F
(60°C to 89°C). Water takes several minutes to heat; if the
water is still not hot after several minutes, call customer
service. See “Assistance or Service.”
No water flows from the hot water tap
■Are air bubbles keeping the water heater from filling up?
Remove the water bottle and check the reservoir water level.
There should be 1" (2.5 cm) of water above the baffle. If this is
not the case, insert a full bottle onto the cooler and check
again. If the water level is adequate, reinstall the bottle.
Place a container under the hot water tap and turn on the tap
to let trapped air out. This process may take up to 1 minute.
