I second you should add sugar to bucket (once), rather than to every bottle. When I bottled, many years ago w/ these I didn't have an issue. Carbonated versus uncarbonated will of course have very different taste.

Hey @TsunamiMike thanks for sharing that. I tried that part and also a higher amp rated 3 in 1 (410 model) and had the same result. High amps being pulled compressor not starting. I noticed in the instructions the note about the red/white wires. Mine had the white wire on top (opposite of the...

I got a new multimeter with current clamp today (only $15 from Harbor Freight). As suspected when the kegerator starts it is drawing high current 8.2-8.7 A. This is higher than the 7.24 rated listed here but doesn’t seem to crazy. The problem is it is not dropping down to the lower running amp...

Correction, white piece is overload. Amazon listing incorrect.

I installed the 3 and 1. No sparks, but same patterns of turning on compressor for a few seconds and then clicking off. :(

So Amazon drive just delivered the parts. A bit concerning the new PTC relay also rattled. I went ahead and installed. I noticed immediately that the compression turned on after a click, but then off. I noticed the PTC relay was sparking when it turns off and very hot. Do you all think I got a...

agreed @Hans O. Lowe I lost my first bevair kegerator because I couldn’t get anyone to work on it. I found my multimeter for first time since moving a few years ago ($1 church yard sale version). Opened her up. See pictures. Mine had a two part relay and overload set. Continuity good on three...

Overnight rest did nothing. Hearing two clicks now in succession every few minutes. I read this could mean the relay is bad as suggested above and if you take it off and it rattles it is bad. Does anyone know the HP on the compressor? @TsunamiMike what replacements did KOMOS recommend?

Sat about 36-40 before being wheeled from garage into kitchen (with no tilting). Transport was less than 40min, so I’m included to believe that is not the issue but who knows at this point. Leaving unplugged overnight.

Sorry to come late to the party but wondering if this was resolved. I picked up a komos from a friend moving back to Ireland (less than 2 years old). It worked well for this long weekend. Just cleaned everyone and loaded with two kegs. This afternoon there was a bit of a rattle noise with the...
