    I would move it inside. I have not seen a kegerator designed for outside use.

    Move it inside and if you reside at sea level and your temperature is truly 40f set your pressure at 15 PSIG. If your kegerator begins to perform better with a lower temp. such as the ideal 38F, adjust pressure to 14F.
