Sticky faucet
hello, I just got a Kenmore Kegerator. I love it. I have one question. If I don't use it for a day or so the faucet is real hard to use. Is this common? I have a 1/4 of yuengling at about 12lbs of gas. Any help would be nice. Thanks in advance! Scott[?]

relax, it is common. I have a kenmore also and it does the same thing when it doesnt get used for a few days. it is the sugars and whatnot in the beer that causes this

I've found the best solution is to use it daily.

Hit the faucet with lukewarm water to free up the beer glue. Also, be certain that you clean the faucet regularly. Try the stainless faucet if you do not have now. it impedes the buildup and is less likely to stick.

I have to agree with Psychodad on this one, a tap a day keep's the stickies away...

Mormally you simply pour warm water over the faucet while it is still installed.
