First, check its button properly. Second, check the circuit board properly.

SOURCE: Fridge Leaking water from front right hand corner
Most likely you're correct, the defrost cycle produces water that is supposed to be captured in a holding tray, pan, etc. If the pan is cracked it would leak out or if the drip tube (pipe) is not in place it would miss the pan. It may be easier to remove the contents of the small frige and tip it over some to see what you can down there. I assume this small unit doesn't have any water souce to it (no ice maker or water). Check the tubing for damage and see if you can find the holding pan to inspect for crackes, etc.
SOURCE: Freezer Working Frig not getting cold enough at max setting
unplug 24 hrs with doors open plug in again if it works better you have a defrost problem. it may be the defrost termination switch.. burned out element or bad timer
SOURCE: Water line compression fitting not working
there should be a insert that goes into the water line at the end after the compresstion fitting is slid onto the tubing. you call allways take and go to ath eharware store and get a new compresston coupling for this situation.
SOURCE: sunbeam water cooler model # YLR2-5-25H2
I called a bunch of different numbers and finally found the people who can help with this. It's called Elite Group (877-383-6399) - I guess they're the ones licensing the Sunbeam name and making these water coolers. If you call that number with the model number, they'll replace the "top" part of the cooler, which should also have new taps, the lady said. The cost is $13.35
Lisa coolers similar to yours=> Whirlpool Dual-Temp Top-Loading Water Cooler
It appears that customers gave a not so good review yet being inexpensive this is common when most products are imported from China. The WHKM-D10 that you have now is now called the WHKM-10DP Whirlpool Dual-Temp Top-Loading Water Cooler with Heated Water. Wish I had better news, but please keep me in mind for any other Whirlpool, Maytag, Kitchenaid, Jenn-Air, Amana,or GE Home Appliances, Thanks, John Tripp/AKA Sea Breeze

where is the answer?
I too have the same issue, but there seems to be a metal piece that I can't find anywhere that holds this plastic piece onto the piston type thing that rotates and pulls the piston out when pushing the cold button. I can't find this piece anywhere inside the unit. Thoughts?
Actually, it looks like the clear plastic rectangular piece (mine is just shy of 2" long) is held on by two tiny plastic prongs, both of which were broken off of mine. The prongs fit on either side of the white round piston thing (photos below, you can see the notches on the nipple where the clear plastic thing fits on). When the water button is pushed it hits the top of the clear plastic part and pushes it so that the bottom of it pulls out the nipple of the white round piston thing and dispenses the water.
I have called Whirlpool and they do not make any parts for this cooler and say it is not repairable. Their advice is to throw it away and buy another one, despite the fact that it is a five cent part that needs replacement. So, I ended up attaching a couple of tiny screws (#4 with a random small nut used as a spacer) on each side of the plastic part to approximate the prongs. To do this I drilled a hole on each side of the plastic part just large enough to allow the screws to be screwed in securely to the plastic. Then I screwed them in only partially. Because in order to get it on you pretty much have to position it correctly on the nipple and *then* screw the screws the rest of the way in. This requires a small offset screwdriver.
A couple of notes: Before doing anything else, unplug the machine! The back grill doesn't come completely off as far as I can tell, so once you remove the screws gently move it over to the side. It's a very tight space inside, it helps to have small hands. Only the cold is accessible, the hot is behind the tank so I'm not sure it's possible to get to that side (but you can kind of see it, if it's your cold button that's broken have someone push in the hot button while you look from the back so you can see how it's supposed to work when the button is pushed).
Photos: clear plastic part after the tiny prongs have been glued back on (so you can see how the original part looked. I removed the glued on prongs to drill the holes and replaced them with #4 screws), and the white piston showing notches in the nipple where the clear plastic part attaches.

How exactly did you get there? I mean, how do you open the water cooler?
