Keezer - 1 tap not working

[fleetmack]

I have a 3-tap keezer, using commercial kegs. Suddenly the first faucet doesn't pour.

I am using this distributor:
http://www.kegconnection.com/air-distributor-3-way-with-check-valves/

The left-most one is the line to the keg which doesn't pour. I've tried re-tapping the keg, and I've tried turning the CO2 on & off again... still doesn't pour at all.

Yes, there is beer in the keg

Thoughts on if this is a problem with the:
distributor?
coupler?
keg?

I don't know much about this stuff. The other 2 kegs pour fine, or I'd think I was simply out of CO2.

swap kegs around, need to determine if it is a keg issue, faucet issue, etc

Did it work before? If its new, maybe a check valve is installed wrong - or just bad - in the manifold. Operate each valve in the manifold, make sure the handles are turning the ball stem.

But yeah, swap the CO2 lines around, Sankeys, and the beer lines for that matter. You should be able to troubleshoot the cause pretty quick. You'll mix some beers together in the lines temporarily, but you might happen on a good blend.

If all else fails, take it apart and visually look for blockages, ball valves not turning with the handle (stripped), backwards check valves, foreign objects in the any of the components, etc.. Use clear or opaque beer/air lines? Flush them with beer line cleaner - verify flow?

Be sure to put manifold back together with fresh Teflon tape and/or pipe dope.

Keep in mind the sanke couplers have check valves in both gas in and liquid out connections. These could be blocked or installed wrong. If you hooked up the gas and liquid lines backwards then nothing will flow

Sounds like a frozen keg.

One of my taps on my 2 tap kegerator didn't pour. I tried everything and then noticed a bunch of ice on the back panel inside the kegerator. Turns out my line froze in certain places. It never happened before so maybe it's the fruit beer in the line but I definitely need to thaw the kegerator out.

You could also have a blockage in the dip tube, hops or something?
