I just received this cooler. Why did water splash out of cooler when I put the water jug in place?

Im sorry to say but you have wasted your money. Return it now. I had mine and it was one problem after another one. The reason why water splashed out is because it is not built right.

not sure what kind of bottle your using but, that cooler is to small to handle big bottles. use 2 1/2 gallon bottles.

You can purchase anti spill caps for the jugs. The top of the cap has a small plug. When you put the bottle up right on the cooler there is a little plastic, finger if you will, that pushes the plug up inside the bottle. No splash. Or you can become an expert bottle pore guy, just tip and place quickly. I got it down to just a few drops.

I've never gotten water in from the outside. I once had a 20 once water bottle open inside of it and empty. Not a drop went through even after house sitting inside. It was pretty impressive.

I do not have that in mine! It could be defective,but if it holds water and there is no leak,and the place is not thin then I would not worry about it.IT hope this helps!!

It has a solid plastic insert that I cannot imagine leaking unless the cooler was to tip over on to its side. The insert goes all the way to the zipper along the top, but if it tips over then the water from the melted ice might leak through the zipper area and possibly through the top of the cooler.

May be a stupid question but did you connect to water line? Check the lever inside, it should be positioned down for ice

You may want to contact the manufacturer and ask what they suggest. It is worth it as I find it a GREAT wine cooler and have enjoyed it. Perhaps it was defective or damaged during shipment as well. I would exchange it out if the suggested solutions above do not work.

It is a drip hose so it should just dribble. If it is spraying in an arc, that means it is either damaged, or you have the water turned up too high.

Mine splashed everywhere and bought something different. Keep the as low as u can. Good luck

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.

No I have not and we have two. Maybe it was bumped and water spilled out of the tray into the bottom of the mister?

Inside the cooler there's a plug which is attached to a long plastic tube, the water will exit out the back of the cooler. Very easy. This cooler is great.

Did you fill it right up to the spill over point? Also, the first time you fill it you have to really work the pump and after that, it is easy. You can check the pump first by filling the stem w/ water before you insert it--water should just jet out.

Mine was doing the same thing while watching a movie. After a bit of research it turns out where it was sitting in my entertainment center it wasn't getting enough airflow around it. It was overheating. I swapped my shelves around to get more space around the body and haven't had an issue since. Check that you have enough airflow around it and that the vents in the body aren't blocked.

You should not have water around the unit. It could be you are positioning the mist into the indentation in the top that is then overflowing. Other than that I would say your unit is malfunctioning. Good luck.

Hey Zandersmom,One suggestion is to replace the impeller, sometimes debris from the water column will get in between the rubber and the socket that the impeller sits in and throws off the alignment. Mine used to make a loud rattling noise, it was very annoying. Once I replaced the impeller, all was quite again. If everything else is intact and there are no operational issues, my best guess, its the impeller. Hope this helps.TG

I have not had this problem with either pump I installed. Possibly water is not staying in the line and the gaskets are getting dried out or your intake and overboard discharge are clogged and water is not flowing smoothly through the system or (if you have one) your holding tank is full so there is no place for the water to pump into...

I have had mine for years and never had a problem. Sounds like to me, you have a broken seal. It's getting wet inside. Sorry.
