Faqs Category: Kegerators
A kegerator is a refrigerator specially designed to store and dispense kegs of beer. A kegerator keeps the beer cold and uses a CO2 tank to pressurize and dispense the beer through a tap.
Kegerators can accommodate different sizes of kegs, including: mini (1.3 gallons), pony (7.75 gallons), and full-size kegs (15.5 gallons). Check your owner’s manual for specific sizes.
Important features include: temperature control, CO2 tank size, keg compatibility, ease of cleaning, and whether it’s designed for indoor or outdoor use.
Yes, a CO2 tank is required to pressurize and dispense the beer from the keg.
This is not recommended and will void your warranty.
Check if it’s plugged in and the thermostat is set correctly. Ensure the condenser coils are clean. If the issue persists, visit danby.com/support for further assistance.
If the tank has recently been moved, give it time to settle. Ensure the beer lines are clean and free of kinks. Check if the CO2 pressure is too high. We recommend 8 to 10 pounds of pressure. Adjust the keg temperature as needed.
Turn off the gas regulator, disconnect the empty tank, and replace the empty tank. Reconnect and ensure the fittings are tight. Adjust the pressure as needed.
We recommend cleaning the beer lines and faucet every two weeks to prevent build-up of bacteria and ensure the beer tastes fresh.
Regular maintenance includes: cleaning beer lines, checking and refilling the CO2 tank, maintaining the correct temperature, and inspecting and cleaning the condenser coils.
Kegerators can last several years with proper maintenance. Beer lines may to be replacement every couple of years. CO2 tanks and regulators can last longer.
The ideal temperature for storing beer is between 36°F and 40°F. Adjust according to the type of beer for optimal taste and carbonation.
