Hi, I purchased a Nostalgia KRS2150 Kegorater about 3 years ago and recently I started having new problems with beer foam. After spending months troubleshooting my beer foam, I decided to purchase a wireless thermometer and to my surprise, the temperature varies from 14°F to 60°F where the knob is set to be approximately 40°F.
To further test that the temperature reading was correct, after my last keg, I put some bottles of water into the fridge - and truth be told - they were frozen before the end of the day.
I called Nostalgia today and they informed me that they do not sell any replacement parts to the actual refrigeration unit since it's white labeled from a Chinese manufacturer. My warranty is also expired as it's been past the initial year.
So given that the compressor works, my gut feeling is that the temperature sensor or the controller is malfunctioning and turning on the compressor when it shouldn't. Does anyone have experience in troubleshooting this further or replacing the sensor and/or the controller?
