Default frozen beer??

We have a new kegerator and went through half or more in about two weeks. It seemed a bit foamy so i cleaned the lines. I hooked everything back up poured two galsses and all was ok. Two days later the beer would not pour. Just a burst of foam then a slight trickle. The light beer was dark in color and off taste. 9psi and maybe 32-33 degrees?

Any suggestions???
