A couple years ago, I bought a used kegerator off of Craigslist. It's a nice Kenmore fridge, but the counter top was warped and cracked, and the tower was a simple one-tap with a sanke connection. So, I cut a piece of thick MDF board to replace the top and built a tap tower using the plan HERE. I know a lot of people on here have built the same or similar tower, and I need some advice on improving it.
I've had some problems with ice building up in the fridge. I was suspecting it was getting moisture from the air and after doing a little research confirmed that the most likely culprit is an improper seal. The door seems fine, so I think I need to seal the base of the tower somehow. I figure there are two spots that are probably leaking: one at pipe flange at the base of the tower, and the other between the counter board and the fridge itself. I'm hoping that I can find some kind of gasket that will fit if I slip one underneath the counter and one under the flange, but I'm not having much luck finding something that will fit. Does anyone have experience with this or have suggestions? Thanks!
