Restoring water pickup in a bottom-loading water dispenser where the internal pump has lost its prime requires clearing air locks and securing suction connections. First, check that the water bottle in the lower cabinet is not completely empty. Second, lift the suction probe assembly out of the bottle, wipe it clean, and push it down firmly into the new bottle cap to ensure an airtight seal, as a loose fit causes the pump to draw air instead of water. Third, check the intake strainer for mineral clogs. You can troubleshoot suction lines easily. You can verify that your corrective action is successful when reseating the suction probe tightly and hearing the pump engage restores strong, continuous water pickup and flow to the spigots.
