A bottled-water dispenser (10) is capable of dispensing cold water or ice made from purified bottled water (34). The bottled-water dispenser includes a cabinet (12) having a cooling compartment (14) and a freezer compartment (16). The cooling compartment is maintained above the freezing point of water. The freezing compartment is maintained below the freezing point of water. A water reservoir (30) is mounted in the cooling compartment and receives water from an inverted water bottle mounted on the top of the cabinet. The ice maker and water dispensing valves are connected by water supply lines to the reservoir. The ice maker includes a discharge assistant for discharging ice from a storage bin. The discharge assistant and water solenoid (72) are activated by dispensing levers (68 and 70) disposed on the front of the cabinet. By pressing a glass against the dispensing levers, either cold water or ice is dispensed.
