My Hamilton Beach 87330: No Hot water
My 87330 does not produce any water at all from the Hot side anymore. Cold works fine.

There are two high-flow faucets on the front of the unit. The faucet with the red child-safety button is for hot water and blue is for cold water. Hot water faucet has a child resistant hot water guard. To operate it, push the red tab to the left to disengage the locking device, and then push the push button inward.
The two round "devices" on the tank are the operational thermostat, and the "safety" overtemp thermostat. It is usually the "operational" thermostat that fails, since it has to cycle a lot and arc internally. It is usually about 120-140 degrees F., and the safety thermostat significantly higher.
These things are scary to look at when you take them apart. THey are a fire waiting to happen. If the unit is not producing any hot water then I would recommend that you purchase a new one. It is incredibly hard to find out who makes it and where you can get parts.
You're probably right. I bought it used for $25 at Goodwill. If I can troubleshoot it to the pump, I'm not sure where to get it. These coolers do cost over $100/$150. If I can repair it for less, I've still done better in the long run. Any troubleshooting help? Schematics? Parts stores?
