I have a Beverage Air DD50 kegerator that I got for a steal (~$150) on Craigslist last year from a bar in Philly that had closed down. It had been running great for the past year, but as of last week the compressor has started running constantly. It still maintains the 38F-40F temperature fine, the compressor just won't cycle off.
From some quick google searching, it sounds like it may be low on freon. Does anyone have any tips on troubleshooting and diagnosing the issue to confirm for sure?
I feel like I have enough DIY confidence to replace a faulty thermostat, but not to recharge the freon. My wife has always been supportive of the hobby, but I'm not sure how much of our family funds we could put toward a service technician coming out...
My beer thanks you.
