Hell all,
I've acquired a non-working keg fridge and I'm a handy guy. I've checked the relay, the temperature dial switch, and the compressor. All seem fine. The final thing is a refrigerant leak. If it as a leak, I can find it with the right tools. Does anyone know if you can rent tools to do a purge (vacuum pump, gauge) and refill or the number of a guy who could find and repair the leak? The commercial guys want about $100 just to ring the door bell.

Re: Keg fridge repair
Canadian tire sells a refrigerant recharge kit with gauges in their automotive section that I've used to bring a few fridges back from the dead. I think it's about 60 bucks and sold under the RED TEK line.

Re: Keg fridge repair
Not that I know much about this stuff, but you'll need to know what kind of refrigerant the fridge uses. Several kinds were developed to replace freon, which is bad for the ozone layer. If it uses freon it might not be repairable. I don't think you can use a freon replacement in a freon system.
