A thermoelectric water chiller system (10) for cooling fluids, and including a mixing valve which enables dispensing of chilled water, warmer fluid, or a mixture of chilled and warmer fluid. Components needing periodic cleaning are readily removable from the system. A fan-cooled thermoelectric module assembly is used to form an ice block which chills the water, and a variable-speed fan (140) is controlled by a temperature sensor (142) to slow the fan (140) speed when chilling to a desired temperature is achieved, and to maintain the ice block at an optimum size. The system (10) is constructed to include a cold probe for cooling the fluid, with the cold probe including a cover acting as a secondary cold sink.
