7. Troubleshooting

• Leakage from Spigot: Ensure the spigot button is fully released and not stuck in a partially open position. Check for any debris around the spigot seal.
• Lid Not Sealing Properly: Verify that the lid is correctly aligned with the cooler body and pressed down firmly to engage the pressure-fit seal. Check for any obstructions on the rim.
• Poor Ice Retention: Ensure the cooler is pre-chilled before adding contents. Minimize lid openings. Keep the cooler out of direct sunlight.
• Difficulty Carrying When Full: The 5-gallon capacity can make the cooler heavy when full. Utilize both reinforced side handles and consider two-person lifting for safety.
