  • Fixing the leak on my Glacier Bay bottom load water dispenser!
    I had my Glacier Bay bottom load water dispenser on during the winter about 2 or 3 years ago and the power went out on the house the water lines and water tank froze. after this happened the water tank would just poor out water when the pump was running and I thought it was broken for good. I finally got down to working on it and pulled it a part to find out it was just a rubber line that froze and expanded and came off the connecting tube that poor's the water. I worked on the connection and after some time and some donated blood due to cutting my hand on sharp edges I was able to reconnect the rubber tube back onto the water cylinder and secure it with a zip tie or cable tie I used a Phillips screwdriver wire cutters to cut the ties and needle nose plies to tighten the ties.
    The Glacier Bay bottom load water dispenser makes changing empty water bottles a snap. Lifting heavy bottles and cleaning accidental spills are eliminated. Finished in modern gloss black and finger proof stainless steel accents, it is sure to complement any room.

    Longshot replying to a 5 year old video but if I flip the switch for cold water it never stop blinking, it will freeze momentarily and then start blinking again. The hot water works fine. The metal backplate where the water dispenses is Ice Cold. Its been like this since I bought it last year. Is there something I need to tinker with on the inside to get it to work? It doesn't entirely bother me but it would be nice to not have to get ice cubes for when I want ice cold water. Thanks for any response.

      The yellow light indicates it’s not getting suction in the water jug. Is something blocking or wrapped around the tube that goes into the water jug?

      @@cristianornelas3170 when you close the bottom door where the bottle slides in there is a button that when the door closes presses in that activates the pump. Try holding that button in and see if the pump goes on. The spout that goes into the bottle also does not go all the way down I usually tilt the bottle when it gets close to empty and push and hold the button. Hope this helps

      Take the back panel off you’ll have to most likely take the front top off as well. First check the compressor on the back check the wiring if all good there then start on the front and top there is wiring there as well
