    The Danby DCR412 works great!

    I had to remove mine from the wall and push it back. Then it worked fine. I can take a pic if you want.

    Just in case anyone wants this. Someone PM'd me asking for it. Internal Height, with bent back freezer tray: 28 inches Internal Width (left to right): 18 inches (remove 1-2 inches from 18 if you don't shave down side railings) Depth to compressor hump from door, after removing door shelves...

    Horray the adjustment screw worked! I'm now sitting around 43 avg at my hottest temp compared to my previous 32-34. I'll have to do some more adjustments to get it just right but good news! Below you can see the initial temp compared to the new adjusted temp. I strived to put the temp probe in...

    I think I've identified the factory adjustment screw on the DCR412BLS. It's a little hard to get to but I just drilled a hole in the plastic casing. I've made my adjustment and will let you know how it works out. More details on my web log.

    Thanks CorneliusAlphonse for the pic. It helped me identify the plastic 'hole' you were talking about. It's right above the compressor. Does the heat from the compressor mess with your CO2 line? Also did you ever figure out the temperature issues you were having? Mine is stuck at 32-34 at...

    Ah ok-- so we're looking at a side profile of the compressor hump? Got it. Also do you have a DCR412BLS model?

    By chance are you the Diversity Brewing Company on FB? I saw The Kegerator Build photo gallery when I was doing research on the DCR412BLS and the floor looks the same. If so then I see you left the CO2 inside the fridge. How's it function with the freezer tray up to it. Any issues to talk...

    Ah phredrixxx looks like you have a BLS version too as the temp controller is on the right side and horizontal. Good to see the kegs fit in there with the controller in the original position Yeah I agree that we'll have to razor back the railings. Doesn't seem like we'll have as much room as...

    The Danby DCR412 works great!

    Good news! It seems to be working! I've had it running for two days now and it's keeping cold. Actually it's a little too cold as it froze the drink I threw in there (iced tea). Looks like I'll need to reattach the temp probe to the freezer section as it keeps on thinking it's too warm and then...

    The Danby DCR412 works great!

    I bent back the freezer section. Created this scary looking double crack in the pipe. Can't tell if it's a busted pipe or just the paint. Seems like the paint. I put soapy water on it and didn't see anything before and after turning on the fridge. Also the fridge got cold enough to freeze over...

    The Danby DCR412 works great!

    I just bought a used Danby DCR412BLS on craigslist for $65 bucks. Used my 1-wire temp logging setup to check if it can hold temp. Looks good so far. Ball-lock kegs on the way. I'll post pics of the fridge mod on here when I get to it. Oh and hello all! First post. On my second brew and...
