Hey everyone, I've had my kegerator for about 6–7 years. It's a converted Danby mini fridge, I bought new, that holds two cornies. I keep it on a Johnson Control at around 37 degrees, and it's been great so far. So I was really bummed to see that it's only cooling down to 50 degrees and the compressor is running full-time.
I vacuumed all the exposed components in the back, and it looks pretty clean. There's not much going on down there. Inside, on the coils there is some frost build up. This thing is supposed to have automatic defrost, and I've also manually defrosted for 24 hours, and it's still experiencing this frost buildup at that same spot.
This problem was first noticed after I moved the fridge from one side of the room to the other. No tilting on it's side, upright the whole time. Gently slid, no bumping around. Should I just replace this fridge, or do you think there's still a chance?
