I have a dual tap edgestar. I think my boys are tapping off it when we go to bed is there a lock i can get for the taps or is turning off the co2 the

There are faucet locks available as others have said. Shutting off co2 won't stop the pressurized keg from releasing beer

You will need to fill the co2 tank. Personally I ended up switching out everything on it a couple of months down the road and just kept the fridge and the mount for the tap. Remember to put a cheap fan in the back of the fridge to keep the air flow going or else it will only get temps of about 45%.

A tapped keg of beer should stay fresh 3-4 mths. You can get the co2 same place you buy kegs. Bought the kegerator Dec 2013 we have averaged 1 keg a month and we have changed the co2 tank once. I bought a cleaning kit same time I purchased the kegerator and we have cleaned it just once, I believe we should of cleaned a little more often. We love thr kegerator works great and keeps beer cold.

I hate ours. It is hard to set. Ours held at 35* for awhile when it was turned up then on same setting it froze the soda can so it popped and what mess. Freezes in the back and is at least 43* on the door. Have it setting about 1/4 th of the way near off

Haven't used it recently, but I do recall there is a quirk with the pilot light... you have to hold it down for a longer amount of time than you would think. Especially after starting a new tank of gas.Sorry I'm not more clear on this... but it is not anything 'wrong' with it. Maybe you can read more about the pilot light... I recall having to hold it and count to 20. My memory is foggy. Hope someone gives you a better answer!!

Have you tried reducing the amount of liquid you put in? I noticed that CO2 would eject through the hole on the neck of the bottle if I had the water level too high. Was pretty simple to cope with. Beyond that, there shouldn't be any other quirks. If they continue, I would contact amazon or the mfctr to see about a replacement unit. We really do love ours.

There is not an automatic shut-off on this unit. I have used multiple penguins for several years and have not encountered that problem. Sounds like a short or some sort of internal problem, not likely something you can do anything about yourself. If it were me, I would return the faulty unit and ask for a replacement.

I have the same problem on one I received a week ago. The tap is over sized a bit. I corected the problem with a wrap of heavy aluminum foil and then several wraps w/ teflon tape. It holds pretty well for now, when I have a chance I will add a nut to the inside to make sure it won't slip out. I want to make beer, not deal with the hassle of return...

I had the same problem!! The spigot stopped working, it would just make a clicking sound. Switch to shower and try it. For some reason that seems to reboot the system. I have to do this almost every time I use the dang thing. It is our cabin water pump/heater so lots of use and frustration. I wish I had my Coleman back! Anyway, try switching settings... Perhaps shut it down first. Good luck!

I have actually called EdgeStar on this very issue. Our unit was not cooling on the left side. It seems the issue I had was that the fan would not run unless I turned the interior light on. However, when I did this the fan ran non-stop which caused temperature issues with the right side. Edgestar offers two options within the first year...send the whole unit in and pay for shipping or have a technician service the unit and then request warranty parts from Edgestar. So far we have done neither. The fan should start and stop as the desired temperature is met. Please respond if you've had any success in resolving. We are on the brink of getting a new fridge.

You can't ...the asshats discontinued their CO2 replacement services. If you can find a business in your area that refills CO2, give them a try but for now, this thing makes a lousy doorstop

There is a controller in the device that supposedly prevents overcharging. That being the case I would guess that you shouldn't but I would suggest you contact Coleman with the question.

I bought two units because I was told by a friend that the energy consumption is the same as a light bulb. Unfortunately the remote for my flat screen TV controls the ArcticPro along with the TV. Nobody has ever heard of this issue. I'm trying to figure out a way to block the remote signal from entering the units. I'll probably be abducted by aliens next week for changing the volume on their TV.

The one I bought less than a year ago does allow the gas connector to lock on. I have not had any problems with simply holding the ring up while pushing down in order to no lock it. I normally do it this way, but if you slowly connect it I don't see why it locking would be a problem.

I have not done this yet. I thought it just unscrewed. Sorry to not be more helpful. I got the largest CO2 container so I don't have to replace it often.

It exhausts into the room that it is in. We live in a SMALL mobile home and have never had a problem. If the idea worries you, get a CO2 sensor/alarm.

You would need to find a way to control the on/off button. You can't use a tap-timer. I did quite a lot of investigation on this issue and the best option was a central-heating type bespoke timer.
