My Igloo water cooler Model # MWC529. The cold water switch is on but the water is not cold . Is it the refirigeration compressor?

No, it is not the refrigeration compressor. It is the water cooler itself. To put it bluntly, it sucks.

I installed one on my refrigerator 10 years ago and it is still working. I had a 30 year old whirlpool upright freezer I installed another one on it to fix intermittent compressor start problem. It worked for a few weeks but the freezer compressor failed no fault of the RCO. If properly installed and it don't fix the problem you probably need a new appliance or professional opinion.

The cooling and freezing components have restarted for me. HOWEVER this machine has the absolute WORST ice maker I have had the misfortune to own. I am on a first name basis with the repairman due to several new circuitboards, firmware updates, factory ordered modifications and others. Several times a year! My extended warrenty has expired and the thing gets junked the next time it quits. I'd suggest you buy something else!

The kit is only a replacement ice maker unit. It DOES NOT contain the water valve or water tube up to the ice maker unit. You would have to check the back of the refrigerator at the bottom to see if there is a valve and water line running to the freezer compartment. I would also check to see if there is an electrical connector in the left rear of the freezer unit near where the ice maker would be.

Yes, it is a condenser. I have a bilge pump hooked up to it to circulate ice water

It sounds like an issue with the electrical connection between the icemaker and the freezer. Is the connection between the two snug and oriented properly?

I doubt there is ever a wide enough temperature differential between the cold tap water and the air in your house for this to be a problem. Do you have condensation on your current external tank?

i called the company and asked. it is not recomended because as the ice melts it becomes very small, slipping through the screen and damaging the impellers on the water pump. ok good?

try to rinse out the cartridge. The cold side is plugged. Turn the cartridge around. If you only get cold water, the cartridge is plugged or bad.

I called the technical support number and asked your question. They said that you should disconnect the water supply and hot sides. Then it would be best to use a shop vac to blow air through the unit from the cold water supply side and that you could also add the pink anti-freeze to the unit. Here is Stiebels phone number 800-582-8423. Make sure that you use a low flow aerator with this type of water heater or you will only get luke warm or cold water from it. I hope this helps

I've had many of these and when I lose them I buy a new identical one. I have never had one not keep the fluids warm, or cold. Sounds like a defective one. Good luck.

The water needs to be shut off off the cold water line connected to your waterline to the fridge. You can also refer to the "connecting waterline" section of your manual: pages 8 and 9. Please feel free to call us if you have any other questions- 888-768-1710.Melanie with Goedekers

You might have had a rubber ring fall off and in the way of the the cold intake. Shut your water off and take the part out and see if any rubber rings fell off

There is a grommet (ruber cap with slit) on the drain line that is designed to let water flow out but seal when not in defrost mode. Original design was sized incorrectly and it will clog and freeze cold not allowing water to drain in defrost and run onto bottom of freezer. Cheap part but big headache.

usually. But you could also have a frozen water line in the door just behind the dispenser. Google your refrig on the web for "no water in dispenser" for answers on fixing that. I had a frozen water line and so changing my filter didn't do anything. Before you buy a new filter, try the "by pass" that came with your refrig when you first bought it. If the by pass allows the water to flow then, your filter is plugged up.

I simply drilled a small diameter hole into a 3-gal plastic bucket from a home improvement store, and slid the waterer in. There was a plastic nut that secured it from the inside. I assume it is the same for the cooler. Just remove the original cooler tap and slide the waterer in. I've had mine for two years and it works great. I'll buy another when mine ages.

yes. the condensation from the air freezes on the condenser coils. it has to heat up to defrost when the condenser coils are frosted over.
