Do you recommend I purchase a multimeter to check the ohms first or skip that and purchase the starting PTC resistor? Thank you!

Also @PCABrewing I haven't brewed in a year! Before I try that PTC replacement, here's the latest. With the fridge powered on, I checked the compressor which was hot to the touch. Not burning but notably warm. I tapped hit in various places with a hammer (old wive's tale maybe?) Left it...

I wish! Nobody local. Alas, need to find the time to tinker with it. Free time coming at a premium these days...

I don't have a meter... and if I did, I wouldn't know how to use it lol

The cold dial inside is set to 7 out of 7. No idea how to do this lol

Finally got around to this... Couldn't find the dial you referred to. Here are some photos including a diagram. I thought it might be the overload protector (which, I think, is the black rectangle). There's an empty hole on the top (see picture) but there is nothing on the other side of that...

That's exactly the one I planned to get, also found in @day_trippr 's search results. Oh crap. You dudes just inspired me to check the power supply (USB wall brick) for the fan. Let me do that before buying a new fan. Thanks!

I don't mind at all! So, I'm trying to do an even swap for what's in place now. There's a USB power brick exterior of keezer. The fan sits atop a keg, facing downward. I don't want to / don't really have room to mount it. The wire passes under the freezer lid and above the collar. It's...

Link worked, thanks! I'm looking for something that's got a USB-A connection out of the box though.

Hello, I had been using a USB powered desk fan in the keezer to recirculate. It died recently (spins up then drops dead, repeat). Looking for recommendation for a replacement. Preferably Amazon. Thanks!

OLD.... Couldn't say! Was picked from the curb - someone previously used as a one tap kegerator. It's a full size, single door fridge with freezer compartment at the top of it. Compartment has its own door (within the fridge, again - the exterior of the fridge is one tall door to access the...

Thankfully, I don't have a batch fermenting. Ashamed to admit that laziness has lead to leaving a used FV in FC for 2 months. Was planning to harvest the yeast so, I left it all in cold FC. Note, the heating wire was disconnected from the temp controller. Door was not open often at all so I...

Nailed it. Exactly the info I was hoping for. That about sums up my process. Playing devil's advocate though - the pressure is built during primary fermentation, warm. Suppose 10psi is built up (no venting, spunding valve tells us the pressure it feels). When I crash temp, do I still have...

Excellent insight, @Bobby_M ! Is there an "easy way" to calculate that? I use this handy tool to estimate what to set head pressure to in order to achieve a target volume of carbonation. http://kotmf.com/tools/forcecarb.php ...I just don't know how long it takes at a specific temperature...
