The Danby DCR412 works great!

Just in case anyone wants this. Someone PM'd me asking for it.

Internal Height, with bent back freezer tray: 28 inches

Internal Width (left to right): 18 inches (remove 1-2 inches from 18 if you don't shave down side railings)

Depth to compressor hump from door, after removing door shelves: 10.5 inches

Depth to bent back freezer: 12.5 (could be more if you bend it back more. I got scared)

anyone have issues with fitting a ball lock on the right side where the temp controller (Danbys not aftermarket)? To say it is snug would be an understatement..

I had to remove mine from the wall and push it back. Then it worked fine. I can take a pic if you want.

That would be outstanding sir.

This thread was really helpful! Thanks guys. I thought I broke my freezer line, but I tried it today and it got way to cold. I drilled my hole in the plastic casing and gave the coarse screw two twists. Now I'm sitting at 40 F! Next step is drilling my hole. My plunger shaft is just under 7/8 thick. Which I feel a bit strange sharing on the internet.....

Any recommendation on hole size? Should I go 7/8 or go big with 1 inch?

Hi, everyone. I have an opportunity to purchase a DCR412BLS for around $60 and I'd like to do the same conversion everyone else has on this thread, BUT... I have a 10# CO2 tank, and I really want to put it inside with two ball lock kegs. Is there any way it could fit - like maybe getting creative and laying it on its side atop the kegs, or something similar. What do you think - is there a way to make it fit?

Short answer, my guess is no, as in no, not even close to fitting a 10 lb tank and two kegs. A 10 lb tank is pretty large IIRC. I also think, not positive, running a full tank on it's side is not a good idea.

Hey guys, i know that this thread is quite old, but I have a question regarding the BLS version of the fridge. I have a Johnson Controls unit that I would like to use to get a very solid regulation on the temperature of my fridge as I transition it to a Kegerator, and I would like to pass the probe through the side of the fridge. I know people have used temp guns and other methods to locate the lines, and I have looked at the manual for the fridge (which shows that there are lines in the sides, but not really detailed as to where they are.) Can someone give me a measurement from the top and back of the unit as to a good place to drill without hitting a freon line?

I had also been a bit timid on bending the freezer box down until reading through this thread, and now I feel a lot more comfortable doing it, so this thread has been very helpful so far.
