Nooooooooooooooo!!! You can't sell it!! It's a HBT icon.

(with that said)

If you are looking for a new place make sure it has a sweet basement so you can build a basement bar like you have wanted.

Quick Question:

I got my fan in from McMaster for underneath the keezer, However it came with an extra part...





Jester - Did yours come with the 'Motor Run Capacitor' as well?

What do you guys think? I'm assuming that the Blue is the hot line, and the black is the neutral. I consider myself a rookie at electrical work though so any input would be great.

And in the diagram, why do you suppose the black line from the motor goes to the Blue line on the capacitor instead of keeping it simple and having the Blue line from the motor go to the Blue line of the capacitor?? Seems kind of dumb unless I'm missing something.

That would be awesome. I can definitely see why you would want it though, I'm almost finished with mine and the top is very heavy! I think I might put some gas shocks on mine.

How were you gonna do it? I'm very curious, cuz mine is mega heavy. Like I squat and lift it with both arms and legs. My wife has a hard time holding it up at all.

Jester,

Very sad to hear that you may have to sell the keezer. I just wanted to thank you for the inspiration for building mine, link in sig. Cheers.

I don't think it really matters whether you tie the neutral to the blue or the black. Just guessing, it looks to me like there is probably a motor winding between the blue and black wires and another winding between the blue and the brown, with the blue motor wire being common to both windings. The capacitor in series creates a phase shift in the blue to brown winding with respect to the blue to black winding, which has no capacitor, thus creating a rotating magnetic field. If that's the way the motor is wired, then wiring blue to blue and brown to brown would leave the capacitor in parallel with the second winding instead of in series, and no power going to the second winding. As for the wire colors, it may simply be that the motor manufacturer buys the capacitors pre-assembled and they just happen to come with blue and brown wires, or maybe the vendor buys both the motors and capacitors from different sources.

Yup, mine looked just like that. Hooked it up just like the diagram IIRC.

Linear actuator - capable of lifting 200 lbs.

Thanks for the replies.

Man I would have sure liked to see the motorized top completed. Such a bitchin' idea. I was thinking of putting some cheap trunk shocks on mine.

This may have been asked before but is the first pull of the tap warmer since its not actually in the freezer, even though it might be insulated?

if you use the glycol cooling copper method or the computer fan with insulation it should not be. if you don't then it very well will be
