If you own a Sunbeam water dispenser you may need a replacement part or repair. But the sad thing is that they no longer make this type of model at all and many are wondering should you find repair and replacement of Sunbeam water dispenser parts or get a refund. This is a good question to ask yourself and here is what I found to help you make your decision.
Many stores will not be able to help you find parts, especially Sunbeam themselves. This is because the parts are no longer being sold by their company. Many bloggers have suggested that regret buying the Sunbeam model and are frustrated. And many others said they had just a simple fix and their dispenser is working fine.
If you are getting a leak try checking out the bottle to ensure you do not have a hole in it. Sometimes this happens and it is an easy fix to get another bottle. It may be a small leak that can be repaired easily. You should always keep the handbook for any appliance you purchase for a ‘just in case’ scenario such as this where you can look and read the troubleshooting section for it.
There are many sites that sell replacement parts. You can find them online by doing a search for the specific part or by searching for the large water dispenser model. There you will find the parts listed that they offer. This way you can easily replace the part that is not functioning.
If you do call out for help try to avoid a sales person’s advice. They will most likely tell you to buy a new model. This can be frustrating as you have invested in this one. But if you can find another brand get is and try to get a refund on the two year warranty you purchased if it has not expired. You can also check other sites such as eBay and similar places where people are selling their parts.
I was reading a lot of blogs in researching this and it looks like a lot of people get frustrated and give up. It seems there is an issue with the customer service at Sunbeam that needs to be rectified. But in most cases the posts that were positive were ones that found another means of fixing their machine. They searched other sites for parts or resale sites such as eBay and were able to procure parts easily and get their machine fixed.
Taking exceptional care of your cooler is the best way to avoid having to get it repaired. But if you do consider searching for sites, a repair person, or fix it yourself. You can find parts, or get a refund. You can also just buy another cooler with the warranty money you receive back from the manufacturer.

A Sunbeam water dispenser is great, unfortunately you cannot purchase them these days. What to do when you have a full size bottled water dispenser, and want to keep using the item, when you cannot purchase a new one.
