Hello all,
I've read through some other posts on the forum regarding this topic, but so far none of them seem to really apply to my situation. A little background: I found a kegerator on Craigslist and the guy said that he had only run 1 keg through it then just stored it because he quit drinking beer. It sat on its side on the way home and I waited at least 48 hours before turning it on to let the freon settle. I've let it run for a few days, and it isn't getting cooler inside. A lot of people experiencing the issue I am is that there is either a problem with the compressor or a freon leak. I have limited mechanical knowledge but I read one forum that someone said as long as the compressor is hot to the touch it should be fine. My compressor is hot to the touch and I don't see any signs of anything leaking inside.
If anyone could point me in a direction to take this I would really appreciate it. I am really bummed that I bought this kegerator only to be having problems with it out of the gate.
Cheers!
