How do I get the cold water colder?
he most common cause of water not coming out cold is filling a large pitcher or container with cold water. Once filled, the new water that enters the reservoir needs around 20 minutes to reach its desired temperature. Try another cup again after that time.
If still not cold, make sure the outlet that the unit is plugged into is working properly.
If still not cold, there may be a problem with the compressor and the unit will need to be replaced.
Sunbeam water cooler model # YLR2-5-25H2
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
Cooler was working fine until i transported the unit, now it does not get cold at all
By any chance did you tip it over? If so, it might be "spoiled ", perhaps not.
If you tip one over, it must sit upright for 24 hours (without being plugged in or started) to allow the oil to return to the correct position in the refrigeration tubing.
If this is not done, the oil can "kill " the compressor.
Try to turn it upright and leave it for a 24 hour period, then plug it in and see if it is OK or not.
God bless your efforts.
I need a manual for my cooler and can not find one.
I suggest looking where you last had it in your hands. If that does not work, try asking your friends to come over for a mystery treasure hunt, pour them all several drinks and then tell them what they are looking for and that it could be anywhere in your house.

How I add freon to my water dispenser
Many of these machines, as well as some compact refrigerators, have completely sealed systems that do not have recharge ports available. This is to save money in manufacturing, as well as the fact the for the price of a service call you can probably get a new one. If your unit does not have a charge port, the service tech will need to install one. That requires him to pierce the system, recover the refrigerant, install the port, and recharge the system. It is not a DIY job. If you are certain that the problem is low refrigerant, then you're best option is get a new one.

Brita filter
When you initially soak the bag in water make sure to squeeze it lightly and shake to release all the air bubbles. Also, you should pour out the first couple pitchers of water after using a new filter as it takes time to break in. This way all of the gray or black filter water will be gone by the time you wish to drink. For more water filter and pitchers go to
