Unit Not Cooling Enough
If the unit is not cooling enough, only going down to 45 º – 55 º , there are a few things to
look at before setting up service.
Is the unit built in? There is no condenser fan motor in the MCKC490S, so it needs air
flow on the compressor to properly cool. Make sure that there is plenty of space around
the unit, including the sides and the back.
Where is the unit located? Like many other small refrigerators, cold ambient
temperatures will cause the thermostat to improperly function. Likewise, too warm of an
environment will prevent proper cooling to take place.
What temperature is being measured? If the thermostat is reading
the air temperature in the unit, that is different than the liquid
temperature in the keg. Place a cup of water in the front corner of
the unit, and use a liquid thermometer to read the temp of the
water.
If the unit is still not cooling enough, the thermostat itself can be adjusted using the
following steps.
1. Unplug the unit
2. Locate the thermostat housing in
the front, top right corner of the
interior of the unit.
3. Locate the 2 screws that hold the
housing to the top of the interior of
the cooler. The one on the right will
be visible, easy to locate. The one
on the left will be out of site,
accessible by inserting a Philips head
screwdriver into the hole, straight up
from the bottom of the thermostat
housing. Remove the screws. The
housing will come loose from the top
of the unit, but will hang securely by the wires and temperature sensor.
