thermostats; contact one sensor probe on the upper terminal and the other on the lower terminal
of the same part (fig 1-1 and 1-2). If there is continuity there will be an audible beep.
2. To test the cold thermostat position the sensor probes on the bottom two terminals of the cold
thermostat (fig 2-1). If there is continuity there will be an audible beep.
3. To test the overload, connect one probe through the silver center and the other on the brass terminal (fig 3-1). If there is continuity there will be an audible beep.

The heater band can be tested for resistance using a multi-meter set to 200 ¸
4. Touch the two terminals on heater band with the sensor probes (fig 4-1). The proper resistance is
within a range of 28 to 32.2
¸ (fig 4-2).
An amperage draw test can be done on the compressor and the heater using a clamp meter.
5. With the hot tank switched off and the unit unplugged. Locate the main lead wire coming in
from the power cord to the cold thermostat (fig 5-1) position clamp meter around this wire and
switch on (fig 5-2).
6. Plug in the dispenser. After an initial spike the reading should be within the range of 1.1-1.6A (fig
6-1). Turn on the hot tank switch; and the reading should increase to a range of 4.3-4.8A (fig 6-2).
Caution: do not leave hot tank switch on for longer than 5 seconds.

Diagnosis and Replacement
Note: the cold thermostat can be adjusted without removal of the side panel. Setting screw is
accessible approximately 9 inches (23 cm) up from the base of the cooler on the back right side
(when viewed from the back of the cooler)
Factory Setting: 6:00
Note: to identify the 6:00 setting position, rotate the set screw clockwise until it has stopped
(screw should turn with light pressure, do not force). The top of the slotted screw is (now) in the
12:00 position. Rotate the screw counterclockwise 180 degrees to set to the 6:00 position(fig.
1-1 to fig. 1-2).
To make the water colder, rotate the screw in the clockwise direction approximately 1 hour
position. Allow the cooler to stabilize for 2-3 hours to ensure proper temperature of the cold
water. (Note: do not change the setting by more than 1 hour setting at a time to prevent freez-
ing).
To make the water warmer, rotate the screw in the counter-clockwise direction approximately
1 hour position. Allow the cooler to stabilize for 2-3 hours to ensure the proper temperature of
the cold water.

9. To remove the cold and hot faucet assemblies from the faucet outlet it is not required to remove the
2 screws. Holding one faucet in each hand, bend the faucets in the middle upwards until they become
separated (fig. 9-1). Remove the faucets one at a time by sliding away from the corresponding screw (fig.
9-2 to 9-3).

10. Remove the two silicon faucet seals from the inlet end (fig. 10-1) and unscrew the faucet cap by rotat-
ing it counterclockwise to separate the top and bottom halves of the faucet assembly (fig. 10-2 and 10-3).
11. Using only FDA approved sanitizing products, thoroughly clean all water contact parts and drip tray.
The use of these products must be in accordance with the manufacturer’s safety instructions and recom-
mendations and performed by properly trained personnel.
12. Remove front bottom panel by removing screw and set aside (fig.12-1 and 12-2). Remove both side
panels by removing the 4 screws (fig.12-3 and 12-4) and open top cover to lift panels off of locator pins
(fig.12-5 to 12-7). Clean all 3 panels using only a mild non-abrasive cleaning agent. The use of bleach or
abrasive cleaners is not recommended.

13. Using the brush attachment, vacuum the condenser and all accessible areas to remove dirt, lint and
debris (fig. 13-1 to 13-9) (the use of the crevasse tool attachment may also be used). Use a scrub brush
to remove dirt and debris from the condenser (fig. 13-5). Use an air hose to remove debris from inaccessible areas (do not exceed 100 PSI) (fig. 13-6 to 13-8). Use a damp cloth to wipe down condenser
(fig. 13-9). For excessively dirty coolers, the back condenser may be moved back 4”- 6” by removing
the screws that secure the condenser to the back panel (fig. 13-10 to 13-13). Use a damp cloth to wipe
down the complete back panel, the Styrofoam insulation and the compressor (fig. 13-14 to 13-16). Replace screws in condenser when cleaning of back panel is complete.
CAUTION: DO NOT CLEAN USING PRESSURE WASHER OR ANY DIRECT WATER CONTACT.
CAUTION: DO NOT MOVE CONDENSER MORE THAN 6 INCHES.

14. Electrical Diagnosis. Refer to Section 5 of the Service Manual; Electrical Component Diagnosis and Replacement.
15. Reassemble the side panels and lower front panel by following step 12 in reverse order (fig.15-1 to 15-7).
Note: the side panels go on prior to the lower front panel.
16. It is recommended that the hot tank be descaled periodically (frequency varies by mineral content). Only
the use of descaling agents that are compatible with 304 grade stainless steel are recommended. The use of
the descaling agents must be in accordance with the manufacturer’s safety instructions and recommendations
and performed by properly trained personnel. Note: ensure the hot tank is empty and drain plug and cap are
in place (fig 16-1). Using a funnel, add the descaling solution to the hot tank, filling up to the top of the inlet
(approx 38.7oz /1100ml) (fig. 16-2). Allow time for the solution to descale. Drain and dispose of solution according to the manufacturer’s instructions (refer to step 4 for draining the hot tank).

17. The upper reservoir support can be wiped clean (Fig 17-1). Using a bottle brush and the sanitizing
solution from step 11, clean the hot tank inlet and outlet openings (Fig 17-2 to 17-3). Prior to rinsing the
hot tank, position pail or container under drain assembly and using a sanitized funnel; thoroughly rinse
the hot tank (fig. 17- 4).
Note: Prior to reassembly, thoroughly rinse and dry all water contact parts that have been removed.
18. Reassemble in reverse order. Ensure all seals/gaskets are reinstalled properly, and install red silicone
plug and drain cap (fig.18-1). The use of air-pressure test equipment is recommended to verify the reassembly process has been done correctly (recommended 1.0~1.2 PSI) (fig. 18-2).
Note: when reinstalling the DryGuardTM replace air filter cloth (Part # MIS-C100043) (fig. 18-3) and ensure proper installation of the DryGuardTM into the reservoir (the word front to the front of the cooler) (fig.
18-4).
19. Place a new bottle on the cooler. Important: Prior to plugging in cooler, vent the hot tank by holding
the hot faucet open until water flows.
20. Draw one cup of water from each faucet and discard.

21. Plug the cooler back into the power outlet and turn the hot tank power switch ON (fig. 21-1). Do not
draw water from the cooler for 30 minutes to let the water cool and heat. Optimum water temperatures
will be reached after several hours of operation.

SECTION7: Hot Tank Venting Procedure – Everest Elite Water Cooler
The new specially designed Everest Elite hot tank has a self-venting feature. For proper installation please follow the steps outlined below:
1. Position cooler appropriately and place the water bottle on the cooler (fig. 1-1).
2. Plug the cooler into an appropriate power supply/outlet (fig. 2-1).
3. Hold the hot faucet open for approximately 1 minute and then turn on the hot tank switch (fig. 3-1 and
3-2).
4. The hot tank will not be completely full; there is an air-vent inside the cold reservoir that allows the hot
tank to finish filling - at this point the RSR’s set up of the unit is complete (fig. 4-1).
Note: Please allow 20 minutes before drawing water to allow the hot water to reach temperature. Should you
attempt to draw water from the hot faucet within the 20 minutes, you may encounter an air-lock. This air-lock
goes away after the hot water reaches temperature so it isn’t necessary for the RSR to remain on site.
If you have any further questions please contact us by email at sales@crystalcoolers.com or toll free at 800878-6422.
