I am having issues with my kegerator and I am not experienced enough to try to fix. Does anyone know if it's possible to have someone come out to the home to take a look and try to fix? Like are there keg technicians that would service my home keg? If anyone knows in Orlando, please let me know.
Need help in Orlando

My CO2 low pressure gauge is stuck at 0 with the tank on and valve open. Turning the adjustment screw does not raise the psi. We have even turned it all the way.
So, is my pressure gauge broken? Is it the regulator? Is co2 still flowing and I just can't regulate the pressure but still be able to drink the keg?
Also. Co2 tank was recently replaced so I'm pretty positive it's not empty.

I would unhook the tank and crack the valve open then closed to ensure the tank is not empty. All indicators point to an empty tank. If there is gas in the tank and you cannot get the regulator to register than you most likely need to repair/replace the regulator. But I'd start with making sure you have gas first.

A bad connection/leak can easily empty a tank overnight.
It's easy to test to see if it's full or not as described above.
If you have gas, vent the keg and then hook up the gas. Turn the screw and listen. You'll be able to hear gas flowing if its working. If so, the gauge isn't working. If not, the whole regulator isn't working.
If the regulator isn't working, you might want to take it to your local homebrew shop and see if they can help. Even if you could find a professional to look at it, he would probably charge more for his time that it costs to buy a new regulator.
