I purchased this dispenser. It heats water well but the cold is not cold at all. But, now it has just starting running water out of the spout with no one around. It comes on by itself. I have had to clean water off my kitchen floor numerous times! It...

We purchased the same item about 1 year ago and have had no issues with it. The baby even bangs on it and messes around with it. It sounds like you have a defective unit and should request a replacement at no charge.

No, it's a very quiet dispenser! and it's easy to fill and to put back in the bowl. there is a stopper on the spout that won't start filling the bowl until it's hit the flat surface of the bowl. so you can fill it up and carry it around your house by the handle and water wouldn't come out the spout.

Nina--I've had my hot water dispenser since Jan of 2011. So far I've not had any trouble with it. One of the things you could check (or have a handyman?) is the water line could be clogged somewhere along the way. Other than that I really don't know. I just read the other suggestions & I agree with them. I think I'd contact Waste King & see if they can help.

spigot may be defective. I had to order a new one after 1st year. If you look at other reviews you will see that other people had trouble with the spigot also. I took the little handle off and turned the little knob with a pliers...a pain but it opens the valve. You should also check to make sure there is no debris clogging up the opening and that there is enough water to cover the opening of the spigot. Hope all this helps!

brenda : always best to confer with the manufacturer, but i would check two things first ..... 1) the temperature control on the front - increases or decreases warmth 2) the p.s.i. of the water pressure going into the unit may be impaired ..... rendering the unit down to a trickle ...... or also the flow could be constricted due to another problem in the line. it is difficult to diagnose not being there on premises. i have 5 units in my home and they are all working as they should. good luck. bill

It started out reasonably quiet but after a month or so it started making new noises on an almost weekly basis. I caught myself turning the TV up one night because the cooler kicked in! I had enough of the noises and had a friend take it apart and fix it. Now 10 months after I bought it, it seems that it can no longer keep the water cold! I really wouldn't recommend this unit, although don't expect to receive the model pictured the 900184, you might get the 900134 which does look quite similar but not what is in the picture. This has been noted before. Makes you wonder about the mixed reviews, who's getting what?! Whatever you decide, good luck on your roll of the dice...

No. Turned if off for the winter. Turned it back on for the summer and it sounds like it is running but there is zero water being pulled out of the air (after a week). I'm doing internet searches to troubleshoot but there aren't really any settings to change. I think it's just busted.

The pump has a thermostat in it and when it senses a 6 to 10 degree rise in water temp it shuts itself off, so it never runs continuously. Now I am referring to use with an on demand water heater. It should work the same pulling warmer water from a tank type water heater, senses warmer water in the line and shuts itself off. Hope this helps. Bill

It's probably broken. Mine did the same after 18 months, the defrost cycle ceases to work and the unit just ices up. It stopped making headway against the humidity, the water in the bucket is basically the ice melting a little.I threw mine away. It was a nice dehumidifier while it lasted. Too bad it's not built well.

I had an old one that I replaced due to getting hot water on cold side that lasted about about 15 seconds -there should only be a few seconds of hot coming out of the cold side so if it take more time there may be something wrong with the unit - mine is fine now. good luck- Steve

try readjusting the pot when on the warming plate - by turning it - it seems to help catch the release valve allowing the water through.... I turned our pot a half turn with spout outward and the water began to flow.... this only happened once in many months.

Weird. Is the hot water valve all the way open after installation? Do you have good pressure with cold water? If not is something under the sink pinching the hose? Never heard of anything like this. BTW I'm just a consumer not a plumber.

No. It will cool. I tried once but it won't dispense unplugged either. Great unit for the price. I bought it just for the holidays but loved it so much I use it everyday.

I guess I just learned that I should have used distilled water. Mine's clogged from using cold tap water, but I had it for over 10 years. (I think mine was the first model. I remembered that I ordered it from one of those commercials). But it does still work for the first 15 mins, than the reset button constantly lights on.

I run it under hot water while pushing the dispense button. And yes, it gets a bit hot. I also soak the lid in a bowl of hot water and a few drops of dish soap with a paperclip wedged under the sealing lip to let the water in that little gap. Looks silly, but works just fine.

This is not a genuine Moen cartridge. Looks similar but did not work for me. The hot water leaked through to the cold side when I tried to run cold water. This caused the cold water to be warm, not cold. Get a genuine Moen cartridge. It's worth a little extra money. Or call Moen... Lifetime warranty... they will often send you an replacement cartridge for free. ;-)
