    Igloo Kegerator at Walmart - $369

    Good day, I would suggest a new faucet head, a Perlick will do nicely. Then get a new sankey, perhaps even find a deal with buy “X” number of keys and save. You could get a European, US and a home brew key...or whatever type of beers you might drink. I bought both of these after they started...

    Igloo Kegerator at Walmart - $369

    You will need a liquid and gas versions of the item listed below (link) and any adapters that might be needed to connect them to each hose type. I have done it and it works fine, just do not forget that you will need and adapter because the lines will be bigger than the barbs on the cornet...

    I have had corny kegs in mine on more than one occasion. This unit will hold a 1/2 (15.5 gal) keg so it should hold pretty much anything else.

    I did the same, you need to go into the temp gauge and move the set screw until it gets to a more reasonable temp. This was a really stupid move on their part putting the probe somewhere that does not give the ambient temp of the fridge. Once I did that the overly cold issue subsided. Just make...

    I have very little issues with my keg, the only thing I did was get the thermostat issue worked out and I placed a copper pipe over the beer line to keep it cool. I have very little foam and none after the first pour when my friends and I are drinking enough that the beer line cannot get warm at...

    You have to unscrew the temp control box from the fridge by removing the 3 screws and then pull the temp dial out (the temp dial just pulls out. At that point carefully examine the device and you will see a screw, unplug the fridge before you do this or be very careful of the electrical leads a...

    If you want it warmer then you will have to go into the thermostat housing and adjust the screw. Just back out the three screws, pull the dial out, look for the one screw and turn it righty-tighty. Do not go more than on wrist movement or one full turn of the screw. The screw even has a very...

    It is staying at that temp because it thinks it is as cold as the cooling plate. The cooling plate is not a cooling plate, it is the freezer basket that comes in so many of the mini-fridges out there. This one just so happened to be done by pros so it looks like it was meant to be something...

    We have the same fridge, so the probe should be held in the same manner as mine. It is held in place by a plastic clip with 4 clip teeth that are fairly small and innocuous right near one of the screws holes. Just get a small screw driver and push the clips through the clip opening and the probe...

    I would still recommend moving the temp gauge, it takes seconds just be careful when handling it, you do not want to crack it. There are two or three screws and the gauge is mounted using a plastic clip device, very easy to remove. If you do that you will not have to decrease the temp contol...

    The first issue I am hearing is the cooling one, I took the temp gauge out from behind the "cooling Panel" which is really the freezer basket which in most mini fridges just straightened out and screwed into the back wall. This gives the temp regulating device a very unrealistic reading. If you...

    Igloo Kegerator at Walmart - $369

    I hope whatever I put on this forum has been helpful. I have added the copper pipe and it is working better than I expected. I have been getting foam free pours and it is great. I also noticed that the temp on my fridge was steadily rising. I decide to move the temp gauge from behind the freezer...

    Hello, I just added a 1/2" copper line over the beer line to see if it works. I will let you all know if this keeps the line cold or should I say cold enough to avoid any foaming in my locally brewed Denoginizer 9.7% IPA.

    Please do not forget that you can also move the thermometer, it might be better to do so. that back wall if the freezer and it is getting a very cold reading, not the ambient temp of the fridge. You should be able to do so quite easily. Just follow the line from the temp adjusting device, back...

    Happy Holidays, Has anyone accessed the tower on this yet? There does not seem to be a very safe way from what I can see but this is my first Kegerator. I want to go get some copper pipe for the beer line and do what someone either here or on another similar site suggested. You get a slightly...
