    Default vissani Question (problem)

    maybe someone can help me.

    i built the vissani into a bar on my basement last december.
    the kegerator worked great from dec until may i guess. thats when i finished the keg and waited until october to put in another keg.
    the problem is:
    when i took the keg out in october i noticed the back of the fridge was iced up.
    now with the new keg in there i check it often, and it is freezing up. it 1st gets the snowy ice on it, then it ices up. what can i do to stop this?

    i lower the control to 3. and unplug the fan (pc fan) and it is still happening.

    check your door seal. i ordered a new one from the magic chef dudes, but still, i tape my door shut. the door just doesn't seal well, and i had the same problem before i started making a tighter seal. now, i have no problemo. there are major leaks around the top edge of the door and the sides. i only found mine because the PC fan i put in has a blue LED light, and the light shines brightly where there is a crack. put a flashlight or something in it, and i betcha you'll find your cracks.
    there once was a chick from pawtucket,
    whose hubby had just kicked the bucket,
    he'd brewed all da beer,
    which brought all da cheer,
    so she built a keg fridge
    and said !
