Default Nothing Dispensing

I'm new to the thread and am having an issue. I have a Kenmore dispensor for a few years and have never head any trouble with it. However, I am getting nothing from from the tap currently. It will occasionally drizzle out, but then stop. I recently changed the CO2 and drained the old keg, so it was working fine. When I hooked up the new keg, it was a little slow at first, but then I had no issue for a couple of glasses. Then it simply stopped. I am wondering if I got a bad keg, because when I disconnect the coupling, there is beer leaking (not shooting) from the keg. However, if it is a bad keg, shouldn't the beer in the line drain through the tap without issue? If anyone can think of anything, I would be very grateful.

It sounds like the gas isn't coming through. Are you sure the gas valve is open and the regulator valve is open?

Both valves are open and I have tested it with them being open at different intervals in case there is a problem with the valves. This one is confusing the heck out of me. I am no expert on this, but as I said, I have had this a while and never had an issue like this before.

check for a kink in your beer line or gas line, and see if the washer on your coupling is split or bulged a tad. good luck brianatkcdraft
