Water Dispenser
The water dispenser is assembled to the refrigerators at the factory as optional equipment. If the refrigerator does not have a factory
installed water dispenser, one cannot be added to the refrigerator at a later time.
The water dispenser has a water reservoir that is built into the bottom of the refrigerator fresh food compartment. As water is
dispensed, the reservoir automatically refills with water. The reservoir allows the supply water to cool to the same temperature as the
inside of the refrigerator fresh food compartment.
Most vehicle manufacturers have a water filter installed in the plumbing system to remove odor, taste, chlorine, and sediment from the
water. If the vehicle does not already have a water filter installed, Norcold recommends that you install one before operating the water
dispenser. Contact your dealer.
The water dispenser operates only on demand and will operate in ambient temperatures as low as 0° F. To allow operation at
temperatures between 0° F and 32° F., the water dispenser has a heater on the solenoid water valves and on the water line between
the solenoid valves and the water dispenser.
At temperatures below 0° F, store the water dispenser as written in the “Water Dispenser Storage” section of these instructions.
The water line heater does not protect the water supply line from the vehicle shut off valve to the solenoid
valves on the back of the refrigerator.
Do not allow the temperature inside the refrigerator fresh food compartment to be less than 32° F. At this temperature, the water inside
the reservoir will freeze and damage the reservoir. If the vehicle is to shut down during cold weather, store the water dispenser as
written in the “Water Dispenser Storage” section of these instructions.
