I hate being the guy who posts only when he has a problem, but I've been busy working three jobs etc etc. My apologies.
I bought a large chest freezer for my kegs less than a month ago. I went to check on my American Wheat keg this morning and found that the freezer was 75 degrees inside. The compressor is super hot and every minute or so makes a sound like it wants to turn on, then gives up again. I've been using an external temp control, so I disconnected that and tried the freezer directly. Same problem. Anyone ever have this problem? Could my compressor be shot? And by extension, the whole freezer? It took myself and two friend 45 minutes to lug this guy up three flights of stairs. They are gonna be pissed when I tell them we need to bring it down again, and eventually bring a new one up...
I'd appreciate any advice...
