My Insinkerator Hot-1 Instant Hot Water Dispenser now has only cold
water coming out of it. We've had it about three years with no
trouble. Is this the typical lifespan or is this a common problem with
an easy solution or do I have to take it out and get a new one?

Thanks!!

First step is to make sure the unit is still getting power. The unit
is usally plugged into an outlet under the sink. Plug in a lamp or
radio and make sure the outlet is still working. If not, look for a
reset button on the outlet (it's usually a GFCI protected outlet). If
that doesn't help, or there isn't a reset button, check the circuit
breaker or fuse for that circuit. Sometimes the reset button is on a
nearby outlet, not the one the unit is plugged into.

If the outlet has power, your dispensor has probably failed. There is
a thermal safety fuse inside the unit, but I don't believe it is user
serviceable.
