keg dispense system cleaning

[samrob1]

I have a model dkc645bls cooler. is there a way to clean the dispense system without purchasing the $45 cleaning system?

You could try the pump bottle system but there are stories that the pump won't fit due to Danby using knockoff faucets. I don't know if it is true or not, just what I've read.

my Danby is only a few months old. The micromatic hand pump cleaning system fits fine.

I know it costs 40-45 dollars, but you get 32 cleanings out of the detergent that is provided. So it's worth it, in my opinion. Before I got the cleaning system, I just removed the faucet, coupler, and beer line and gave them a good soak and scrub in clean hot water, and s******d hot water through the beer line for a good 5-10 minutes, which I think was fine in a pinch, but I'd rather know it's really getting using a cleaning solution.
