## Troubleshooting and Repairing an Avalon Water Dispenser
Avalon water dispensers are known for their reliability and ease of use. However, even the most dependable appliances can occasionally experience problems. If your Avalon water dispenser is not working properly, there are a few simple troubleshooting steps you can take before calling for service.
## Common Problems and Solutions
1. The water dispenser is not dispensing water.
Check the power supply. Make sure that the water dispenser is plugged into a working outlet, and that the power switch is turned on.
Check the water supply. Make sure that the water supply line is connected to the dispenser, and that the water valve is turned on.
Check the water filter. If the water filter is clogged, it can restrict the flow of water to the dispenser. Replace the water filter if it is dirty or damaged.
Check the water pump. The water pump is responsible for pumping water from the reservoir to the dispenser. If the water pump is not working, the dispenser will not be able to dispense water. You can test the water pump by connecting a hose to the pump outlet and running it into a bucket. If water flows out of the hose, the pump is working properly. If no water flows out of the hose, the pump is not working and will need to be replaced.
2. The water dispenser is leaking water.
Check the water supply line. Make sure that the water supply line is properly connected to the dispenser, and that there are no leaks in the line.
Check the water filter. If the water filter is not properly installed, it can leak water. Make sure that the water filter is properly seated in the dispenser, and that the O-ring is in place.
Check the water reservoir. If the water reservoir is cracked or damaged, it can leak water. Inspect the water reservoir for any cracks or damage, and replace the reservoir if necessary.
Check the water pump. If the water pump is not working properly, it can leak water. Replace the water pump if necessary.
3. The water dispenser is making noise.
Check the water pump. The water pump can make noise if it is not working properly. Replace the water pump if necessary.
Check the water filter. If the water filter is clogged, it can restrict the flow of water to the dispenser, which can cause the dispenser to make noise. Replace the water filter if necessary.
Check the water reservoir. If the water reservoir is empty or low on water, it can cause the dispenser to make noise. Fill the water reservoir to the proper level.
