How do I make my Danby Kegerator colder?
Here are the most common fixes for the above events:
- Install a tower cooling fan apparatus.
- Install an air circulation fan for inside the kegerator box to stabilize the temperature inside.
- Override the thermostat with a separate temperature controller.
- Recalibrate the thermostat to allow it to be set at a lower temperature.
Why is my kegerator not cold?
An empty kegerator will have to continually run to keep the air cool. Because air temperature is so easily affected, it takes more effort to cool the empty kegerator. If you place a keg of already chilled beer in the kegerator, you will find it A) Reaches temperature and stays there more effectively, and B)
How cold is a kegerator supposed to be?
34-40 degrees
hours for a keg to settle, and to reach optimal temperature within the kegerator is key. This is always an essential for hosting a party with draft beer! 98% of all issues (especially foaming) arise from temp and pressure! Kegerator should be set to 34-40 degrees.
How do you check the temperature on a Kegerator?
Some people place an air thermometer within the cabinet to get a read, but the best way to gauge what the temperature of your beer is, is to place a glass of water inside the fridge and then place a liquid thermometer in the water. You can even use your brewing thermometer.
How long does a kegerator take to get cold?
24 hours
After turning your kegerator on, you should ideally wait at least 24 hours for the unit to cool properly.
What PSI should a beer keg be at?
Most ales and lagers produced in the US should be dispensed at 10 – 12 PSI. Stout and other nitrogen-reliant keg beers are usually dispensed at 25 – 30 PSI.
What should CO2 pressure be on kegerator?
between 10-14 PSI
What pressure should my CO2 tank be set to? This will depend on the beer you are serving but most American breweries recommend a pressure between 10-14 PSI.
What causes foam in kegerator?
The most common causes are: Incorrect Temperature – If the beer is too warm or too cold, it will be more easily disturbed and pour as foam. In most models, the beer line is not refrigerated so the first pour will usually be a bit warmer and a bit more foam.
How do I keep my keg cool?

How do I know if my refrigerator is low on Freon?
Checking the Freon Listen. With your ear pressed to the refrigerator, you should hear a faint hissing or gurgling noise. The Freon will hiss and gurgle through the fridge’s capillary tubes as the pressure equalizes within the system. If you do not hear the hiss and gurgle, you may be low on Freon.
Do Kegerators need Freon?
Re: Freon/Kegerator question A 20 year old refrigerator of any type will almost certainly require refrigerant (freon) that requires a license to purchase.
How long does it take to cool a kegerator?
Why is there so much foam in my kegerator?
When the temperature rises above 40 degrees, the CO2 gas starts to escape from the beer, and this is what causes foam (in most cases). For this reason, temperature issues constitute the great majority of problems with kegerators serving foamy beer.
