New to me Beverage Air BM23

[Brian77095]

Hi Everyone,

Just picked up this kegerator! I have to replace the evaporator fan, evaporator drip tray and I am thinking of replacing the rusty screws at the bottom. Anything else I should replace since I have it open? Also could I clean the evaporator coils? They seem to be pretty dirty from the rust.

Can't wait to get this thing up and running!

I replaced the screws with stainless screws back when I had a BM23. May also want to replace the beer line. I put extra insulation in the tower, and used that gray foam pipe insulation. It's a great unit. Cheers!

Thanks Dave!

Yeah I am replacing all the beer line. I also want to replace the evap drip line but, not sure how hard that will be...

I had one of those in the late 90's. It was a real workhorse and never missed a beat. I had lost it in my divorce. I miss it. Don't miss her....

You'll be well pleased with the BM23. I had two, sold one and still have the other that is over 20 years old. Still keeps beer icy cold poolside.

I like BevAir so much that I also bought a DD48 that has a huge custom T style tap tower and holds 8 corny kegs inside along with a 20# gas tank.

If you ever have problems, you can call BevAir direct and they can suggest a parts house near you that carries commonly replaced items. The folks there are really helpful and just one more reason I am a BevAir fan.

Yes I am very excited to get this thing up and running. It can hold for kegs. Trying to decide if I want three taps with room to lager a fourth keg or if I want four taps. Right now I am leaning to three.

spray the pan with flex-seal, a coat or two and you are in business.

I have a BM-23 as well, fantastic units, added a triple faucet tower, the box will fit three corny kegs and a 20# bottle.

Finally finished it! Very happy with it so far.
