If I do not use my kegerator for several days, why the handle is hard to pull?

A draft beer faucet being "hard to pull" or "sticky" usually indicates a cleaning issue.

Specifically, that either cleaning is not being done with a chemical specific designed for draft beer cleaning, and/or that the faucet is not being dis-assembled and being thoroughly cleaned.
