I gave you a shout out in the description! I didn’t have the names on the top of my head when making the video. But yeah, thanks to your video and another how to article, it gave me a head start, but i wanted to make some modifications, since both mentioned cutting into the foam and splicing wires, which seem to work, but I didn’t like the idea of. The fact that any of us have to resort to fixing these machines, though, is the real issue.

@ lol…. I know. And we agree. Primo is incredible - they should have issued an email to all owners and offered to provide the new sensor free of charge. Instead? They tell you to buy a new water dispenser. Great video and let’s keep fixing them. Happy Thanksgiving!

That’s awesome! You SHOULD show off. I was pretty proud to have figured it out myself, too and had to tell my mom I did it! Haha.

@@sillysyd You go girl. We can figure out lots of things on our own and with the help of UA-cam, and you. Happy Thanks giving to you and yours. 🤗

Good luck! It’s not so bad once you get in there!

@@sillysyd I ended up having to file down the notches on the new one and using it. Couldn't get the wires out of the blue connector. But it seems to be working!

@@nrpy44that was actually my first ideas but could just imagine cutting myself if I used a blade to cut them off. Or filing like furious for a while til it was flush. So I tried removing the wire clips first since I thought it’d be faster and safer. But it does sort of require the right tool and patience to get them out right. I wish I had thought to add that process to the video!

I thought about doing that, too, but thought I'd have a harder time either shaving or filing the ridges off vs unclipping the wires. I also didn't want to cut myself in case a blade slipped while trying to shave the ridges off.

I think I used the tip of an Xacto blade to unclip the ends of the wires from the caps. A sewing needle or pushpin might work, too. Or a very tiny flat head screwdriver possibly. Anything that can help lift the clips without damaging them.

@sillysyd that's the part I'm having trouble with is taking them put of the clips. I am scared to break the clips.

@@timetoexploretheworld I think as long as you don't try to REALLY pry the clip, you'll be fine. I think it helped to kind of push the wire up from underneath while trying to unclip. And then once unclipped, you have to kind of tuck everything through the holes of the cap to get them out.

It's listed in the description. You can find an Amazon link there, too.

It hasn't failed yet! If it makes it more than a year, I'd consider it a scam on Primo's part.

Just a guess, but it might not be communicating correctly to the board (where the blue cable connect and where the lights are installed). I'd make sure that the blue cable (the sensor cable) is connected to the board nicely, as well as the wires are seated into the socket correctly, too (in case you had to stick the wires from the new sensor into the socket from the old sensor - you'd need to make sure you keep the metal caps that clip into the socket, too). Hopefully that makes sense, helps, and fixes your issue!

Thanks for replying! I’m not sure what this: “in case you had to stick the wires from the new sensor into the socket from the old sensor - you'd need to make sure you keep the metal caps that clip into the socket, too” is referring to... I removed the wires with the 2 silver ends from the new wire and inserted them into the blue cap. Now I’m confused haha

@@haleybreann1 see at 7:25 of this video. The wires should have these clips on it still before putting it back into the blue plastic piece that gets inserted into the blue socket of the circuit board. Without the clips, bare wires might not sit and connect well.

Oh yes, the new wires had the clips still intact. I misunderstood the comment but yes, I did that. Thanks for taking the time to respond
