Oh no! Keezer Fail

Post by tizzler » Sun Nov 27, 2016 10:29 am

My Keezer has failed. It's an old Woods Freezer that I unplugged two weeks ago because it was empty and I decided to clean it up. I plugged it in yesterday to chill a keg before force-carbing and there is no chill at all. Turns on just fine, but has no freeze/chilling at all. Left it on all night, and it's room temperature inside :(

Anyone have any suggestions/experiences with a fail keezer or know of someone local they can recommend that I can get out here to Eastern Passage take a look at this thing?

Thanks, Tom
Tom

The first one I built was a woods that I picked up for 40 bucks. It failed 5-6 months after building, that was when I decided I would buy new and convert it so I did not have to go through that trouble again.

Sorry for your loss. :(

When you cleaned it did you put it on its side? Sometimes when freezers are moved too drastically, they need to sit for a while before they can be plugged in.
Why brew beer I can buy?

No it did not go on its side. Just unplugged and some condensation inside cleaned and taps cleaned as well.

Can you elaborate "it turns o just fine" ?
I'm thinking if you here the click it might be the relay.
Or if you feel the compressor working...

To elaborate a bit, the freezer sounds like it is functioning. So the compressor, I believe it is, is on and is warm to the touch. It has a slight vibration when running. I let it run until the morning and no change at all.

Try unplugging it, let it sit on its back for half a day or so. Stand it back up and let it sit overnight before plugging in again.

I have a fully kegged beer sealed with CO2. Since my keezer is done for the time being, how long can a beer last in the keg without spoiling? I assume it will be fine for awhile.
