Keg King Series 4 noise issues

[arnienz]

Hi all,
Glad to join the forums. It doesn't look like I have permission to post in the equipment forum so hopefully someone can help me here.

I setup my new Keg King Series 4 fridge (bought from a local NZ HBS). It's set to 1 degree, which was the default and overnight it managed to cool down to 7c, with 2x already-cold kegs in it.

My main issue is that it's constantly gurgling really loudly. I understand fridges make a bit of noise with the coolant going through the pipes, but this is almost a constant gurgling/boiling sound that only seems to stop when the compressor turns off - about 5min every hour.

Is this something that resolves itself over time, or does it sound like I'm got a dud?

Hey arnienz,
I have recently bought the Kegland series X 4 tap and I also notice the same sort of noise issues.
I too thought it might have been a dud but now I think unfortunately it could be just how the compressor kicks in.
As mine is only a couple of months old Im not sure about the noise settling down over time

Hi arnienz, I would set it to 3 or 4c and see how it goes, we have a crap power supply and every 'brown out' mine sets back to 1c and squeals like a * pig! The compressors (cheap Chinese) dont seem to like working close to freezing…

just noticed kegland have added 4 x audio files to their site (at the bottom of the page)
Series 4 Kegerator - Fridge Only (incl. castor wheels, drip tray, guard rail, shelves, font fan, CO2 bracket)
for 'normal' operating sounds.

What are you calling the equipment forum? And can you post there now?
