Yes mine is the same. I have it a HAIR about "defrost" and mines its pretty at 36 degrees. If I budge it a hair more, it tracks at 33 degrees and if I put it at "1" out of 10 it freezes everything in the fridge. Mine runs about 2-5 mins per hour...less if I put a bunch of thermal mass in it...

3 will be tight. I think i'd have to do a tiny bit of modification to my door to allow the third as it would hang a tiny bit over the lip. You'll probably have to test your particular fridge to see for sure. I went with two and the CO2 inside....I actually use a single tap and just slip the...

I have a similar ages General Motors Fridgidaire and I can fit two kegs and the CO2 tank under the rack/icebox. Heres a sense of size/space. If i moved the CO2 out, i could probably fit 3.

Thanks everyone! The fridge seems to cycle a bit less now that it has about 15 gallons of beer inside :) I did purchase a controller but havent hooked it up just yet. Part of me has a "dont fix whats not broken" opinion on this...if its been running strong for 50 years who am I to say its...

Sure! Here is my Perlick faucet installed! Came out great!

I have a 7 year old miniature australian shepherd (smaller than a fullsize, similar to the size of a border collie) and he is by leaps and bounds the most amazing dog I have ever owned. He is completely loyal to my wife and I, intelligent beyond belief and has a truly unique and quirky...

Drill it. I just completed my kegerator out of a 1948 General Motors/Fridgidaire retro fridge that looks almost identical to yours except its handle is vertical. Once I took out the shelves, i can fit two kegs and the CO2 tank as well as two cases of beer on the top shelf above the kegs. I...

What is the overall process/feelings people have had with carbing this and serving via keg? Do I need to to add chemicals to stop fermentation if I am force carbing or can I just back-sweeten and then carb immediately in the keg? Do people find this tastier served flat over ice or sparkling...

I have the polar opposite experience at my local liquor store. They have hundreds of craft beers and then a small, dingy spot in the back with a dirty fridge that has BMC beers in it and above it is a small sign that says "the fridge of shame." Makes me laugh every time i see someone taking BL...

Fantastic. My gut feeling was that it would not matter but I didnt want to make any assumptions and cause problems for myself.

Hello, I have a current single kegging setup with all 5/16" air hoses/clamps. I am adding a second keg, splitting the CO2 with a Y-connector. All my local shops seem to stock 1/4" ID air line fittings (Ball lock hookups with 1/4" ends, line barbs, connectors, etc.) Given that I will be...

I'm from NH and if a dog comes onto my property and bites me he will leave my property with 245 grains of lead in his body or he won't leave at all. If i had kids who were at risk, my opinion would lean much more heavily towards "wont leave at all."

Hello, Would purchasing an external temp controller like a Johnson controls or STC100 reduce the cycling frequency of my kegerator? My fridge is a very old 1940s/1950s fridge so I'd like to be gentle on the compressor. Is there any advantage to using an external controller with the probe...

Thanks! Faucet and shank/fittings arrive today so I'll hoepfully have more pics soon. I'm a bit worried my shank will be too short but I also think I can get around it by using a spacer and anchoring the shank to the outer wall rather than to the full thickness of the door. We'll see. I'm a...
