Out of the box, this unit will not function correctly.You will have serious problems with foaming beer because of 3 defects.

1. Temperature regulator does not sense liquid temperature.It is also located too close to the cooling plate and needs to be moved further away to get a more accurate reading.

2. The tower does not flow cool air and ambient temperature inside is much higher than it needs to be

3. The spigot is also non-conventional and doesnt encourage an even flow

As far as I know, mine doesnt make any noises at all so I'm not sure what the other review is referring to or if they have a unit that isnt working correctly.

All of the above problems can be corrected.

Temperature -

a) Purchase a new regulator and bypass danby's.

b) Move the sensor away from its current position and put it in water to get a more accurate "liquid" reading.

Tower Install a small fan to circulate air into the tower

Spigot Replace with a standard one

Unfortunately for Amazon reviews, i cant link to other information that will help you do all of this, but if you search for the name of the unit, links that will help, show up very high in the list.

We have had this Kegerator for over 5 years.. it has sat in our garage, here in the Dallas area year round...

The garage goes from 30 degrees or less in the winter, up to 140 degrees in the summer, and the Danby keeps the beer a constant 34-37 degrees... it has never failed us.... this has been one of the best purchases we have made...

I am very glad we did not listen to many of the reviews on this unit or we would have missed out.

It's amazing, with the negative marks on this unit on Amazon, over 5 years later, the company is still selling the same unit... must mean they are doing something right or they would have discontinued it years ago....

I highly recommend this unit... it will save a ton of money down the road!!!

This product has a major flaw with the temperature control panel on the top front.They go bad fast. Mine only lasted 2 years.It is out of warranty and no parts are available according to Danby customer service because it has been discontinued.Don't waste your money.

Want Danby DKC645BLS 5.8-Cu.Ft. Designer Beer Keg Cooler, Black/Stainless Discount?

After purchasing a Nostalgia kegerator, which was a total piece of crap, I purchased this better model on the advice of a friend.We were immediately happy when we opened the packaging and found that this model came with a 5 lb. CO2 tank.This is hard to find with these $500-$600 models.This Danby was easy to set up and I love the digital temperature gauge on the front, I can set the temperature to the exact degree that I want.

I would highly recommend this model over any others in this price range.Don't bother with the lower priced models either.

I purchased this kegerator 4 years ago and bad news. I have had the digital display fixed 3 times, had the compressor changed once, fortunately Dandy covered it, but I had to wait 3 months and 4 trips from a repairman (not his fault, waiting on Danbys parts}to get it fixed last time and now its out again with a full keg of beer in it. SPEND THE MONEY AND GET A BETTER ONE, I could have but my contractor put this in when he built my bar.
