    What to do if my Rival Kitchen Utensil fountain does not work or liquid is not flowing?
    • D
      Diana WilliamsAug 16, 2025
      If your Rival Kitchen Utensil fountain isn't working or the liquid isn't flowing, first ensure all black foam packing rings have been removed from the bottom of the bowl. Next, check that the bowl is aligned over the base so the valve fits into the water pump unit and is pressed firmly into place. Finally, make sure the unit is properly plugged in by connecting the power transformer to both the electrical outlet and the base.

    Why is my Rival Kitchen Utensil bowl overflowing?
    • B
      Brian ButlerAug 19, 2025
      The bowl of your Rival Kitchen Utensil may be overflowing due to several reasons. The bowl's maximum capacity is 1 1/2 gallons when the fountain is off. Make sure the fountain is turned on and flowing before adding up to an additional 1 gallon of liquid, for a total of 2 1/2 gallons maximum. Before turning off the fountain, if the bowl is more than half full, use a cup to transfer excess liquid into a pitcher, especially if more than 1 1/2 gallons are left in the entire unit. After shutting off the fountain, if it seems like it might overflow, quickly plug it back in and remove more liquid.

    How to fix Rival Kitchen Utensil fountain splashing?
    • K
      Kathryn SerranoAug 22, 2025
      To resolve splashing with your Rival Kitchen Utensil fountain, ensure the flow collar is correctly placed on the outer tube with the side reading “THIS SIDE UP” facing upwards and the double arrows also facing upwards. Also, rotate each tier so the spout placement is staggered. Note that the liquid from the medium tier should flow down through each spout and onto the stems.

      Arthur CarlsonAug 26, 2025
      Uneven flow in your Rival Kitchen Utensil fountain can be corrected by ensuring the fountain is on a flat, level surface. Also, ensure that the bowl is correctly seated into the base with the valve and water pump input aligned. Finally, make sure the valve in the bowl is slightly raised to allow liquid to flow freely into the water pump unit.
