A Canton homeowner called about an Admiral kegerator that wouldn’t start up anymore. The refrigerator does not come on any more and it seems like it may not be calling for it to kick on. Our diagnosis revealed a failed thermostat that couldn’t be repaired, making the unit unrepairable.
The Problem
The customer reported that the refrigerator does not come on any more. It seems like it may not be calling for it to kick on. Not sure what is wrong.
Diagnosis
We found no power coming to thermostat. The thermostat cannot be opened so unit is unrepairable.
The Repair
- Parts replaced: No parts recorded
- Work performed: Diagnostic evaluation of electrical system
- Result: Unit determined to be unrepairable due to sealed thermostat failure
Is It Worth Repairing?
Admiral kegerators from this era often have sealed thermostats that cannot be serviced when they fail. When the main temperature control component can’t be accessed for repair, replacement becomes the most practical option. The specialized nature of kegerator thermostats also makes finding compatible replacement parts challenging.
Maintenance Tips for Admiral Kegerators
- Keep the condenser coils clean to reduce strain on electrical components like thermostats
- Avoid temperature setting extremes that can cause thermostat cycling issues
- Check door seals regularly to prevent the cooling system from overworking
