It is only a couple of years old.
The shop I got it from is gone and the only marks on it indicate that it is a Beer Fridge BF-163 not even the name of the manufacturer.
The buttons on the console are completely unresponsive too.
Sad day.

Re: Kegerator Broken :(
Switch it off and let it sit for a few minutes then turn it back on, Hopefully this helps but if not then your only option is to find someone who either knows electrics and/or fridges!!

Re: Kegerator Broken :(
Ok, panic over it appears fixed.
I tried the leave it off for a while method but to no avail.
So I called Brewcraft to ask them if they knew the problem and where in WA I could get it fixed.
They told me that they would fix it for $150, I asked for where I could get the parts and they said they had them.
It was possibly the switch panel on the front or the pcb/power unit behind that.
So I bought both and replaced both for $92.
Life is good again.

Thanks for the offer mate, but I binned them and they are now under a couple of hundred prawn shells and half eaten sausages.SuperBroo wrote:You still have the old ones ?

One of the chips on the PCB looked a bit black on one of the legs, maybe a bad solder.

Re: Kegerator Broken :(
Hey badseed,
How have you found your kegerator, did you get it from craftbrewer or kegking?
Do you find it cools the beer to the temp displayed?

Mate, sorry I have not responded to this until now. I have been off the radar for a while.AidanMatthews wrote:Hey badseed,

Anyway, I bought mine from an independent HB store which is now shut down but it is identical to the ones they sell in CraftBrewer.
I have never had a problem with temperature, or never noticed it, I keep it at 4 degrees (by the indicator) and it seems to be about that temp when I drink it.
