Default Leak and Problem?
Hey everyone, I just hooked up my home-made kegerator. I have two problems:


1) I used a large fridge/Freezer combo unit. Looks like the ones you can get and put in dorms, but it is pretty big. It has a freezer part INSIDE. This is a PITA for the kegerator. I have the CO2 bottle resting on the Freezer part, which seems fine. My problem is that when the door is closed, the beer tube that comes from the tap gets pretty close to the freezer part. IT FREEZES the beer in the tube. I have to open the fridge to let it thaw out. Do you think insulating the beer tube would help? Can I just get rid of the freezer part? Never remodeled a fridge to see if I can just pull the freezer part out and cap the freezer tube on the ouside of the fridge.

Any suggestions?


2) Looks like there is a leak on the BACK of the spout. Where the beer tube connection hooks up to the spout (silver threaded piece) there looks to be a leak between them. Should there be some sort of gasket to stop this or do you have a suggestions?



Thanks!
