SWEET!

The problem I have with the resistor mod is that the fluctuation of temperature will remain the same in the unit and is several degrees variance with the Danby controller. You set it at 36, and it will fluctuate to 34 or below all the way up to 39 degrees even with a blower setup I have. My goal is to keep the beer line temp at the same temp as the internal liquid temp of the keg. It takes much longer to change the temp of the internal temp of the keg, than it does the beer line because of relative surface area to cool. So if my Keg is stable at 36 degrees, but my temp of the refrigerator's ambiant air goes up to 39 degrees for 20 minutes, that beer in the hose will go up to 39 pretty quick! End results 2 different temperatures of beer, and... FOAM!!! until you have cleared the length of the beer line.

At a setting of 36, with the resistor, mine goes from 34 to 37. I've never once seen it above 37 unless I just put in a new keg and/or I had the door open. It's been my experience that these Danby units don't all function the same, but in mine, I don't think there's an adequate amount of time or temperature fluctuation for the beer in the keg or lines to change noticeably. The temperature variations I have are really no different than I would get out of a temperature controller.
