Frigidaire Model FRC445GB Mini-Fridge Kegerator Conversion - Page 31

I didn't remove the inside of the door, just cut a hole for the temp controller to fit through it. Pulling back the weatherstripping, it looks like the inside plastic piece is glued in place. I'd think you could work your way around the seal and pop it off, but I'm really not sure. The door of the frigidaire doesn't come apart as easily as the ol' Sanyo's did. Inside the door is more of the foam insulation that you ran into on the top.

I get the condensation as well. I just knock off all the ice whenever I switch out a keg and it keeps it under control fairly well.

Good luck!

Question for those that put taps on the door.

What size faucet shaft does it take?

I was going to go with a tower, but decided I needed the top for the ice maker more than a tower

I get frost in the compact fridge while using it for bottles and cans. Switching to kegerator should reduce the moisture cause the door opens less frequently...would one of those damp rid containers eliminate the icicle problem that some are experiencing in the kegerator conversions?

I also get a lot of condensation/icicles with this fridge, if anyone has a solution I'd love to hear it.

Got mine off craigslist yesterday for $60, got two kegs and a co2 tank ready to go. Anyone know a good (cheap) place to get a regulator for the co2 tanks and a good (again cheap lol) place to buy stuff i need to put a two tap tower?

Nice craigslist score - I bought mine retail.

I don't know that either are super cheap, but I got my gear for the two tap tower conversion from kegconnection.com and have also had good experiences ordering stuff from kegworks.com.

When buying I'd reccomend splurging for the Perlicks. Let me know if you have any questions about the conversion - I wrote this article documenting mine and am local to you if you need help:

I had my thermostat pushed to the side and had to do some work on an air hose and somehow i pulled out the green and blue wire for the stock thermostat. Can anyone tell me where they go? Is the thermostat shot?

Nevermind. Quick multimeter reading showed me which was ground and which wasn't, assumed green was ground and blue was the other. Fridge is running fine now.

Just picked up a Frigidaire FRC445GM, same fridge. Small scratch, no key but at 130.00 not a bad deal.

Anyway gonna start assembling the parts asap. Already have the Perlick Faucets, 5lbs. CO2 and lines.... need a tower and other goodies.

Quick question. Any of you ever have an issue with the condensation and having it leak outside to the floor or the room?

Thanks and I will post pics as they get taken.

sorry if this has already been covered but has anyone fit 2 pinlock kegs and the 5# co2 in this fridge? I am about to buy this fridge to do the conversion and my LHBS has pinlocks for a decent price but they do not have ball locks...

After reading 31 pages, I don't think I saw anyone that could fit 2 commercial sixtels in this beat..

Did I miss something or can this absolutely not be done, even with door modifications?

Thanks
