I recently got an older used Danby DKC644BLS 2 tap kegerator for free. I've plugged it in and the evaporator fan in the back runs but feeling the compressor I'm not sure if it is running or not. The last 2 days I've had my temp probe in there and while the unit is set for 40 degrees it seems to run but fluctuates an air temp between 28 and 48 degrees with an ambient temp is in the mid 60s. I find it hard to believe that just an evaporator fans and coils can cool down to that level without the compressor. I've taken it apart and verified that the power board is switching to 120v. Right now I just have sparking water and can deal with this temp variance but want to get it more stable for my homebrews. These units 644 and 645 seen to be reliable from my searches but sometimes require some modifications.
Any thoughts on maybe changing the thermistor to achieve more consistent results or might this unit be a loss?
