When you use a water fountain for a little while, the motor starts to run to keep the water cool. So when you press the button, the motor starts to run. I heard that it’s like a refrigerator door. When you open it, the warm air comes in and thermostastat causes the motor to start running. Most Poskim are maikel in the case of a refrigerator. However in a water fountain sometimes there’s another factor. The button to press for the water is an electronic button. In that case it would be assur to use the water fountain.
