  If your WaterLogic Water Dispenser has no power, first, check that the building's electrical supply to the unit is on and the power cord is properly plugged in. Verify the power indicator light is on and test the fuse. You may need to perform standard electrical troubleshooting.

Why is my WaterLogic WL290 Water Dispenser compressor not running?
- M
  mark92Aug 17, 2025
  If the compressor on your WaterLogic Water Dispenser isn't running, first, ensure the Red Heater and Compressor Power Switch is in the 'on' position. If it is, turn the switch off, remove the compressor cap, disconnect the black and red terminal connectors, and inspect the compressor starter and overload relay for any defects. Replace any defective components. Also, check the cold-water thermistor for continuity with a multimeter and replace it if needed.
