Do I need to replace C02 regulator?

[NotSoNew2Brew]

I kegged a beer last night and force carbonated. This morning went to purge any gunk that settled. One thing I didn't realize was that when I poured out the bottom of beer, the C02 wouldn't kick on. It didn't dawn on me because the hissing soung is faint, but when I raised pressure so I could have it a little over carbonated to fill some bottles, the C02 didn't crank on until I raised it from 12 psi to around 18 psi. One thing I did notice too was that the fridge was at 33 degrees cuz I was cold crashing and didn't raise temp. any words please??????

It seems the regulator is jammed I guess....? If anyone can comment it would be helpful because iy obviously is not carbing or refilling with C02 once I pour..... Thank you

Is your tank empty by chance?

You could take your regulator apart and clean it out.

Dismantled it, put it back together, and it seems to work fine. I wonder if it was too cold or somethin. If anyone else has chilled at or around 33 and had issues with their regulator id like to know. I keep the c02 in the chest/keezer
