Danby kegerator not cooling

I can't get my Danby DKC586BL to cool, my temp is reading 72 and when I push the temp setting it responds but nothing kicks on therefore the temp remains at 72. It's less than 2 years old but since I dont have a reciept Danby is being less than helpful

    I have the same unit, less tha two years old and it will not cool. the front digital readout seemd to be working as is is showing the right temp and will adjust. the compressor will not kick on. did the front panel solve your issue?

I just had the same problem. Mine was outside on the patio and the key pad on the front was the problem. cost me $2.27 plus shipping and it took me 5 minutes to fix call Danby back and wait on the phone for their parts and tell them you need the keypad sticker. Good Luck

I had this same problem however with it now being 2018 I was unable to find a replacement control panel anywhere. I bypassed the control panel by connecting the black and red wires together. This made my compressor run constantly but at least I could tell it wasn't the problem and I unplugged it. With that configuration still in place, I purchased an Inkbird Temperature Controller (for cooling) off Amazon for $32 and I am back in business! I was ready to throw the whole thing out.

Danby Kegerator runs but does not Cool

sounds like maybe no coolant in system if compressor is working. you know like in your car a/c unit, sometimes refrigerant needs to be added. just a guess, I'm not an expert.

I've owned it for about a year and have not had any trouble. But my Danby Kegerator just started beeping and flashing EE on the display one day and it won't cool. I had to unplug it. Any ideas

An EE error code means that you have loose connections (loose temperature sensor connections) check all the wires for a loose connection
temperature touch pad
the units main control board
the control board is in the back of the unit there is a panel covering in the middle lower back near the compressorInside your unit on the left side in the lower rear theres a vented piece of plastic pry that off thats the temperature sensor make sure all the connections are tight
If the error does not clear then your temperature sensor is faulty
you can get a new sensor at
www.repaiclinic.com.or
or at
www.appliancepartspros.com
hope this helped
Good Luck!

Temperature - Is fan supposed to constantly run or is it controlled by thermostat

You said ,Top half of Danby DKC645BLS refrigerator 10 degrees warmer than bottom half. Bottom half cooling to approx. 34 degrees.

Is it running all the time without cycling off and on as it should be doing?
Sorry to have to tell you this news.
But this would mean a bad thermostat or insufficient freon in the cooling system.

The same issue with the fact that one compartment is warm and the other is cool!

Let me know that service tells you!

Thank You

Thermostat

It's the Danby "auto-defrost" feature. It cycles off every 24 hrs to defrost, at which time the temp rises (as the unit isn't running!). Not much you can do. By the way, the blue LED temp display isn't accurate. It NEVER gets 36 (liquid temp) inside the Danby unless you do the following: Open the door and look to the back left. There is a small grate covering the temp sensor. Remove the grate and place the sensor into a small cup of water. The sensor will now read the "liquid" temp inside the keg, and not the "air" temp. The Danby will then cool the inside to a more beer friendly temp, and should not only cut back on foam, but taste better.
