Beer stream
Hello All - I have a Danby kegerator, and I had a weak stream from my tap. I removed the little white ball from the beer line to the keg coupler. The stream is lots better, but will this cause problems? Please advise, Thanks, FX.

Well, the "little white ball" is a check valve. Personally I would try to get the coupler to function with it, it's there for a reason.
Slow pours are due to low cO2 PSI and/or beer tubing is too long.
I would set the PSI correctly and use the proper length of tubing before removing parts.

Thanks, but I already checked my pressure, and the hose is as short as I can get. What problems would this cause. I have tried several times with the check valve in, but still a weak stream. Is this a common problem with Danby?

well, what is the length of hose you are using and at what PSI ?
It could very well be the coupler if it was supplied from DANBY, they don't have a reputation for being high quality.

Did you check the tank pressure to make sure you still have co2?

"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."

Problem solved. I went to the local beer store, and they gave me a coupler to bring home to try. I dissected it and found out just how that "little white ball" went in to my coupler. The Danby owners manual does not have an exploded view. So at least for the beer sitaution my "weak stream" problem is solved.

Just find the item you are looking for and then click on "replacement parts".
