Default summit cant get colder than 40-42 degrees...

Anyone else have this problem? Ive had a service guy out here and they actually sent me a new one...but same problem. I would think its just like a dorm sized frig...which i have...and that thing is freeeeezzzing.

seems too easy to be a problem. I do see quite a bit of ice built up in the back...could that be a problem (maybe where its taking the temp there is ice so it thinks its colder than it actually is?)

im taking temp with a normal thermometer inside a water bottle in the frig on top of the keg...towards the door area. ive checked the seal to the door and its closed tightly and it gets good ventilation, etc.

would love any thoughts...ill try em! even put a small fan in there and that circulated air awesome and seemed to work, but then the motor to the fan got too cold and broke....it was a quick fix and not one built for a frig. is that what i need to do to get really cold beer???

im fortunate that my kegs are not really foamy. ive heard miller lite and sam adams are really good about low foam issues...so that is really what i stick with....but i had a cinco de mayo party and got dos equis...and its a ton of foam...im sure due to the temp.

thanks!!!!!!
