more danby woes

[may1966]

I have a danby with all the mods I checked it yesterday and the keg was froze solid and the temp in the danby was around 10 degrees farenheight and the digital readout was saying it was 50degrees I defrosted it and turned it back on and the temp was 15 degrees in the box and the digital readout said 38 degrees any suggestions would help thanks again

What resistor did you use? If you used the 33K resistor, I would go with a 100K resistor instead. Otherwise, it's possible your temperature controller is shot.

I have the same problem. Relatively new Danby and I have to reset the temp all the time because it will either freeze solid or not cool. I have to check it daily or I run the risk of frozen/overheated beer.

With the regulator in the previous post, do I just plug the Danby into the regulator, plug the regulator into the outlet and set the regulator inside? I suppose that would work as long as the Danby kicks on when restarted. So far it does that just find.
