I didn't know where to post this so I stuck it in the DIY 'cause its always a good bet...
My kegorator stopped being/getting cold. It worked up until a few days ago and I figured it was the thermostat, so I turned it "up" to cooler. On my lunch break today I noticed that the fan that circulates air into the tower was running but the compressor wasn't on, so like any man, I smacked the f@#k'n thing to see if it would take off and nothing...I'm guessing the compressor is shot because the dang kegorator was my Grandpa's and I figure it is at least 15 to 20 years old. Could it be something easier than that?
Normally this wouldn't be a huge issue, but the wife is having a dinner party tonight and she promised my beer to the masses. I need a short term solution (which I think involves my swamp cooler bucket and some ice) and a possible fix. Obviously if it is too expensive/complex to fix I will invest in a keezer ala craigslist.com
Any experience, advice or anecdotes are appreciated!
