KOMOS® Kegerator | Intertap Stainless Steel Faucets | Fan Cooled Stainless Tower | Digital Thermostat | Casters | Regulator | Fits 1 Half Barrel Keg or 4 Corny Kegs
Description
What makes KOMOS Kegerators better than the rest?
Designed to hold up to FOUR 5-gallon Slimline Torpedo homebrew kegs
Serve ice cold beer even in the warmest environments thanks to highly-efficient refrigeration components
Stainless steel forward-sealing faucets offer a huge upgrade over common chrome plated brass taps
Faucets mount to a high-quality stainless steel tower, rather than a cheap chrome plated tower
Interior fan diverts cold air up into the tower to keep your beer lines cold and reduce foaming
EVABarrier double walled draft tubing protects your beer against oxidation
Duotight push-to-connect fittings make assembly a breeze
Included KOMOS Dual Gauge CO2 Regulator maintains consistent pressure and is easily adjusted
The KOMOS Kegerator offers a stunning set of features that clearly separate this unit as the most modern kegerator on the market. With more interior space than other models, the KOMOS Kegerator is designed to fit up to four 5-gallon Slimline Torpedo kegs or Pepsi-style Ball Lock Corny kegs. Whether you choose the single, double, triple, or quad tap configuration, you'll receive tried-and-true Intertap stainless steel forward-sealing faucets. Stainless faucets are a huge upgrade over the chrome-plated brass faucets commonly included with other kegerators, and you'll quickly recognize the quality of a forward-sealing beer faucet compared to the standard taps seen at your local tavern or in-law's mancave. Rather than a chrome plated plastic tower, the Intertap faucets are mounted to a stainless steel tower that remains cool before, during, and after each pour thanks to a tower fan diverter that recirculates cold air within the kegerator and blows it up into the tower to keep your beer lines cold and reduce foaming. From keg to faucet, your beer will pass through EVABarrier draft lines, a premium double-walled tubing designed to protect against beer oxidation. And with Duotight push-to-connect fittings, you'll have your lines connected in a snap with no need to force the tubing over barb fittings or fiddle with hose clamps. Other features you'll love about the KOMOS Kegerator include its highly-efficient cooling capacity so you'll be serving ice cold beer even in the warmest temperatures, extra wide temperature range from 26–82°F, dual gas inlets at the back, aluminum internal floor, rolling casters, and the included KOMOS Dual Gauge CO2 regulator.
The most eye-catching difference between the KOMOS unit and other kegerators is definitely the capacity. This is the first kegerator we have offered that comes with a quadruple tap tower option, and that’s all thanks to the redesigned interior. Most kegerators position the compressor on the right or left side of the inside floor, making one side shallower than the other. KOMOS positions the compressor in the middle so both sides of the interior have an equal depth. This seemingly small detail allows the unit to hold up to four 5-gallon Slimline Torpedo or Ball Lock Corny kegs.
Dual gas line inlets are absolutely clutch if you want to serve beverages at two different pressures or use two different types of gas. The previous model had one inlet that was only wide enough for a single line to pass through. Now both inlets are just over 3/4" in diameter and feature PCO 1881 threads. This threading allows you to use the plastic Carbonation Ball Lock Cap (FE133) as a quick connect option for your gas lines.
Upgraded condenser, evaporator, and insulation make this unit highly efficient, yet quiet, so you can serve ice cold beer in even the warmest temperatures. The unique internal fan provides excellent air circulation, pulling cold air from below the evaporator and blowing it back over the top of your kegs and up into the tower to chill your draft lines.
Extra Wide Temperature Range is Perfect for Homebrewers
The KOMOS kegerator is tailored to a homebrewer's needs. Take, for example, the extended range digital controller with an adjustable temperature range from 26 - 82°F. This allows homebrewers to use as fermentation chamber and is something that other kegerators don't do. Although the unit does not provide heating, the extended range allows you to program the internal temperature at say an ale fermentation temp of 68°F and will provide cooling whenever the temp rises above that set point. With the insulation provided by the kegerator, heating should rarely be needed, but you can always place a low wattage heat wrap inside the unit if ever needed. The digital controller always displays the temperature and is easily adjusted from the front of the kegerator with the door closed. It's pretty nice.
Intertap Stainless Faucets and Towers
All kegerators come with Intertap faucets to mount on the stainless tower. Intertap is one of the most tried and true forward sealing on the market and have been used for home and professional draft systems for years. Very similar in performance to the NukaTap faucet, but Intertap features all stainless steel internal parts, whereas NukaTap's internal shuttle is made from TPV. Kegerator configurations with NukaTap faucets are also available. All faucet spout attachments and accessories are cross compatible between Intertap and NukaTap. Forward-sealing means that while in the closed position the faucet will keep beer in it instead of draining out. This keeps the internal parts from getting sticky and reduces the chance of off flavors transferring to your beer while you pour. The modular, threaded spout can fit a variety of attachments including a growler filler or stout spout. This model includes the all stainless faucet which we think is a must have upgrade over chrome plated brass. This is the model sitting in the middle of the MoreBeer! office. Yes, it's tough... but we do have to test these products for you.
Duotight Fittings & EVABarrier Draft Tubing
Duotight and EVABarrier have revolutionized how you connect draft line, and our kegerators come standard with both. We love Duotight push-in fittings for their quick connection, reliable seal, and versatility. Setting up and connecting draft line has never been easier -- no more hose clamps or heating water to soften tubing! Each kegerator comes with Duotight fittings for the tower shanks, regulator, and for splitting gas lines (double & triple tap only). We recommend adding Duotight fittings to use for your keg connections as well. Depending on whether you'll be serving from homebrew kegs or commercial sanke kegs, you'll need two DUO106 or two DUO104 per line.
EVABarrier tubing has been engineered with protection in mind and is both PVC-free and BPA-free. This double walled tubing offers superior protection against oxidation, CO2 loss, and microbial growth. EVA tubing is the future of draft line for professional applications, and now your kegerator will feature the same first-class tubing.
KOMOS Regulator
The included high quality KOMOS regulator maintains consistent pressure. The regulator includes a blow-off PRV with pull ring for safety and relieve pressure, rubber coated gauges, and a hand knob for easy adjustment. Included with your kegerator package is a Duotight fitting that attaches to the regulator for an easy, solid, push-to-connect connection with your gas line.
Added Features
One of the unique features on a kegerator in this price range is the tower fan, which blows cold air up into your tower to reduce foaming issues. They also come standard with the KOMOS dual gauge CO2 regulator, which is super beefy and consistent in delivering accurate pressures. Most Chinese-made regulators experience creep where the pressure increases over time. The KOMOS regulator is by far the best CO2 regulator we have seen made in China.
The countertop drip tray couldn't be easier to keep clean. Built-in drip trays look cool, but they're a pain to keep clean. Before long they get pretty disgusting with dried, spilled beer -- attracting fruit flies and becoming a haven for mold and bacteria to grow. They'll often overflow the reservoir inside the kegerator causing a huge mess. Our kegerator's tray is designed to be removed and easily washed.
Best Value & Backed by MoreBeer!
We've looked around, and when you factor in fast and free shipping, you are getting the very best value on a kegerator in the USA. Plus you're getting MoreBeer! service if something happens in shipment. We double box the unit with foam pads and have very little shipping damage. However, it will be delivered via Fed-Ex ground so damage is possible. If your unit arrives damaged just call us up and we will work with you to take care of it.

I started brewing beer again, it was good. but bottling is a drag. so I got a keg. but it wont' fit in my fridge. so now I need a beer fridge. omg what have I gotten myself into?
After much research I landed on the Komos double tap. I would have went for the 3 or 4 tap but my wife and I can't drink 20 gallons of beer fast enough! This unit seems to be made especially for the home brewer. All quality components. Why settle for anything but the best when you're enjoying your own suds?!

BEST ANSWER:I have a 3 tap faucet on my Kegerator and I am able to fit (Tightly) 2 Kegs side by side in the back and one centered in the front. Along with a forth 2.5 keg balanced on the back shelf where the C02 usually goes. I am using standard ball lock connectors on the Torpedo They sit below the top rim handle no problem. If you are trying to stack you will not get another on top of the 6 gallon due to height.

BEST ANSWER:I have mine in an unairconditioned Florida room year around and it works well. There are some days that it is over 100F out and it keeps it to 38-40F, but that is rare. Make sure it has room around it to breath and dissipate the heat.

BEST ANSWER:I suppose so if the refrigerator height is ok. The draft tower is removable (shipped off with a plug in the draft line hole. You would just have to run the draft lines through the hole in the top, insulate and pack them, then mount the draft tower on the bar top.

Ours is in a bar. We just attached the taps to the top and wrapped insulation around the hoses. Been working good for 2 years. Wasn’t quite what we had in mind when we built the bar but it worked out. And of course, it’s hidden behind a cabinet.
Technically, no. However, I have mine installed that way and it doesn't appear to be suffering. Make sure you have sufficient space on each side and you should be fine.
I bought the Komos 3 Way Gas manifold for my 3 tap Komos Kegerator and wanted to know know what's the best place to mount it inside and how to properly install it inside the unit without causing any damage to it?

BEST ANSWER:I suspect with the 3 tap you'll have a bit more room to work with. I have the 4 tap series X (same thing basically). I ended up using Scotch mount Extreme indoor/outdoor double sided tape to mount inside on the "ceiling." Seems to be working well enough, reduces flexibility in moving the kegs around a bit.
I did happen to notice that you can wedge the 45 angled bit right above the fan at the back as well. This would allow you to screw it into the roof as well. The downside here is that the outlets then point down at 45 degrees and once you stick a DuoTight adapter on the end you're really close to the height of a ball lock keg, so I didn't go that route.
Hopefully this description makes sense, I don't seem to be able to attach a photo alongside.

I couldn’t find a way to install my two way manifold on the inside of the kegerator either. I zip tied mine to the rail on the outside and run the tubing into the kegerator. Looks good and works great.
I'm considering purchasing this unit. I have had a different brand kegerator for about 15 years. That one has always iced up badly on the back plate after a couple weeks at serving temperature, so now I normally use it for mostly for primary fermentation. Has anybody had issues with this kegerator icing up?
BEST ANSWER:No icing issue whatsoever. I've had it in the hot garage when it is about 95F, and also same garage when it is 40F. That said, I live in an area where it is dry dry dry all the time. Maybe if you live in a humid area it would ice up. For me, though, it works great.

BEST ANSWER:Yes. Definitely. I recommend it, it’s nice to control the flow into the glass without wasting beer. With multiple kegs, it’s common to have 1 beer more carbonated than another because they are not tapped at the same time.

BEST ANSWER:Shipped the door opens from the left (hinge on the right side looking from the front). However, it appears the door can be reversed since the door has handle indents on both sides and there are threaded holes to move the hinge bracket on the bottom and pin at the top.

Mine came with the hinge on the right facing the front. It swings open left to right. It looks like the door mount can be moved to the left side and have the door swing right to left. I can't find directions that tell how to do this. Good luck, Ben
BEST ANSWER:I bought the previous version of Kegland, KegKing, Komos, kegerator. It is the same kegerator they keep changing the name they're made in Australia. I make smaller batches usually 3 gallon batches. Anyway to answer you yes there is room for 3 kegs and the 5lb tank inside. its a tight fit but it works. I have 2-1/2 gal. and 3 gal. AEB kegs. They are 8-3/4 inch diameter and 17.5 inch tall. Three are in there now and room for 5 lb co2 tank. if you have all 5 gallon kegs they will work because it has about 28" inside height clearance. Its been a nice unit I have it in the basement and it keeps my beer nice and cold. It does have a low humming sound sometimes when it is cooling no problem for me but might be irritating if it was in a den, family room or kitchen. It works for me and with the wide temperature range sometimes I use it for fermenting .I would buy again and the V2 model even states more room. Also I'd recommend the springs for the Intertap faucets they really work in pulling the faucet closed after each use. I've had mine for about 14 months now with no problems. Hope this info helps

No. This unit is misleading in size. We have 2 of the 5. Gallon 9.25 diameter tanks in there and third will not fit. Even with only 2 the gas tank has to mount to the back outside. Wont fit
BEST ANSWER:All the time. It's best that way. The fan actually makes the biggest difference on the first pull; that's the one that will be warm without the fan, and it will be foamy as a result. The next pulls would come from the keg, which will be cold. You want the beer in the tower to stay cold since it would be the hardest to cool back down if you let it get warm (the fan isn't exactly a hurricane, but it does the job if you let it).

Being conscious of electricity usage, no I don't. Our kegerator is in a heated basement, so the first half inch of beer drawn is at room temp, but filling the glass evens out the temperature to what we enjoy. However, whenever I put a fresh keg in, I turn the fan on for a few hours while the keg cools.
BEST ANSWER:The fridge does not have the capacity to heat the inside. If you want to heat a fermentation or the inside of the fridge then you will need to order a seperate heater.
BEST ANSWER:The fridge does not have the capacity to heat the inside. If you want to heat a fermentation or the inside of the fridge then you will need to order a seperate heater.
Yes, definitely within those temperature ranges. If you really wanted to you could ferment in here in that case.
However, I would advise against doing so. Going from cold to hot will generate lots of condensation. I keep mine at 34° and even going up to 42° it gets very wet. Beyond that you can't dispense cold beer while you're fermenting at high temperatures.
It’s really just a refrigerator, the exact same as one you would have in your kitchen. You set your desired temp and it does the work. I don’t think it will give as precise temp control if you’re using it for fermentation temp control.
I would also recommend getting as many taps as you can afford; “Buy once, cry once.” I love mine.
BEST ANSWER:I purchased the 3-tap version of this kegerator. With the tank holder on the back, it will stick out from the main unit by 7”-8”. However, the tank holder on the back can come off easily. I have my tank on the floor to the right of the kegerator (you can put if either side or even inside). Without the tank holder & tank in back, the kegerator clearance to back wall is 1”-1 1/2”.

With the bracket (with tank) I measure 30-1/2" front to back. The tank/bracket adds 5 or 6 inches to the kegerator depth. The 5# cO2 tank I have does not protrude past the bracket.
Considering your tank does not extend beyond the tank base, and the tank base is against the wall, it protrudes from the wall approximately 29 3/4 inches
BEST ANSWER:It comes with a holder that mounts to the back and holds the CO2 tank. There is also a dedicated port to allow the gas line into the kegerator. If you get a 2 or 3 tap model, they send enough barbed T-splitters to allow you to get gas to all your kegs.

The kegerator comes with an external 5 pound CO2 mounting bracket and there is already a hole in the back of the kegerator for the CO2 line to go from the external tank to the keg
The kegerator comes with an external bracket and holes to route the gas lines through. You just need an extra 8" or so clearance behind the kegerator (the diameter of CO2 tank).
Very easy. There is a bracket included that a CO2 bottle can be placed in and a grommet you can feed the tubing through the back of the fridge for the CO2 supply line
This kegerator comes with a bracket for the back to hold the CO2 tank externally. There is a hole for the gas line in the back of the kegerator already as well.

BEST ANSWER:I purchased the 4-tap version. It comes with a dual regulator... I imagine that is what will come with your three tapper. It comes with duo tight fittings to branch off the regulator to the kegs. So all your beers will serve at the same pressure as set on your regulator. I purchased four additional regulators, one for each keg, and ran the CO2 regulator to that series of regulators. I wanted to be able to set each beer to a different serving pressure. Later, I added a fifth regulator to use for force carbonating kegs outside the kegerator so I could close the door and not have lines running outside. All my regulators are mounted externally to the kegerator. My CO2 tank is hidden in a cabinet beside the kegerator. All my lines are the EVA barrier type, which is the type of line that will ship with your Komos. It is stiff but smaller diameter and stays cleaner in my opinion. Hopefully this answers your question. I would send a pic but this response thing will not allow it. Thomas

I bought the 4 tap last year and it did NOT come with a manifold, it does however come with enough “T” fittings to split your CO2 line off and feed all your kegs from one tank and regulator
BEST ANSWER:It depends on the size of what you call a splitter. If all the kegs will have the same pressure you can just use “Ts” to string four ball locks in series (that’s what I did using 3 Ts. I’d you want different pressure in one or two using two bottles, there are two different feedthroughs in the back of the kegerator.

The unit comes with duo splitters and they give you the 4 co2 ports you need With ball lock kegs it is tight to put in a splitter. There are two co2 ports on the back so you could feed the 4 lines in 2 on each side.
There is room for a 4 way splitter but I have no idea where any internal components may be located. You could also use the duo tight fittings to split to accommodate
I'm curious what length beer lines most people are using. Some people mention using their own tubing but if you use the 4mm that comes with the system, should 5 feet be enough?
BEST ANSWER:I used 6 feet per tap, using the 4mm as the beverage line, as recommended. I get excellent pours. I recommend consulting the free PDF of the Brewer's Association "Draught Beer Quality Manual"

BEST ANSWER:Hi Christopher, I did not mount my 3 port manifold, I thought to mount it on one of the glass rack holes, but instead I bought all new tubing 8mm and added duotight fittings, I also installed inline duotight shutoff valves on the gas lines. I left the tubing long enough so I can extend the keg out of the kegerator with fittings still attached, making it for easy access. The manifold just floats around on the left side and I have had no problems. Good Luck, Ben B

Yes, I have a 3 line manifold installed inside so I can burst carb one keg for 24 hours and turn the other off, then set them all back to serving pressure. I am able to fit 2 kegs, co2 tank and manifold inside no problem.
Yes, I've done exactly this. I used short screws to mount to near the top back of the inside. Make sure you avoid the cooling lines and you'll be fine.
BEST ANSWER:While I have yet to install this unit,, I plan on using it as a built in as I've previously bought a different brand and was able to do so.. so I'm assuming I can do something similar with this one..
To be fair,, I'm a cabinet maker and accustomed to customizing components to work.
What I had to do with the other brand was to separate the tap column from the unit itself and reattach it to my solid surface top. Additionally I added a plastic tube to go through the counter top and into the keggorator to keep the unit sealed between both surfaces.
So assuming I can follow the same method as explained above, I feel very confident I can make the work as well!!
Hopefully this helps.
If you'd like some further insights I'd be happy to help.

No. This kegerator is meant to be freestanding and is passively cooled (meaning the sides get hot and must have space to cool). A built-in unit has a different cooling system with a fan to blow the heat out of a vent, usually under the front door.
I have 2 of these and I'm building them in and mounting the tap towers to the concrete counter top. Make sure you leave enough room around all sides of the kegerator to allow for heat dissipation as they do get warm.
BEST ANSWER:You need a CO2 cylinder filled with CO2. If you are a home brewer, it fits up to 4 kegs that hold 5 gallon batches. I use Cornelius kegs with ball lock but any Corny kegs will work. You need gas in and beer out fittings that match your choice of keg that the duo fitting will screw onto. It is super easy to set up. Just be patient on the tower setup. You only want to do this once. There are other whistles and bells you could add but the above gets beer flowing and that is the whole goal.

You need gas in and beer out fittings that match your choice of keg that the duo fitting will screw onto. It is super easy to set up. Just be patient on the tower setup.

I'm considering this for my covered patio, it can get to 100 degrees in July and August in Texas, will this model hold up? I'm hoping with the increased insulation, bigger compressor and insulated tap neck it will be ok for those 2 months?
BEST ANSWER:Short answer - I don't think it will do well. Long answer - when my house gets to mid-80s inside I've observed the compressor running frequently and the chamber temperature drifts up by a few degrees. Additionally, while the tower cooling fan does a fairly good job of minimizing foaming, it's not as effective at warmer room temperatures. Tower condensation is also a problem when the humidity goes up. This causes a big puddle on the kegerator and reduces the ability to cool the lines in the tower. As always, YMMV .

I keep mine in the garage and it gets well over 100 degrees in the summer months. It keeps my beer cool, but it ices up inside and requires you to defrost it, like the old school freezers, probably twice a year.
BEST ANSWER:I'm not sure if you have the same problem, but mine failed in warranty and they sent me a new one. I was able to fix the old one. I found that the compressor has an overload protector. I was able to verify that the compressor worked by briefly bypassing it. I had a little trouble finding the part, but eventually got one on ebay shipped from China for about $10. Now I have 2 working kegerators! You might check yours out.

BEST ANSWER:Hi Cassandra, my kegerator came with a KOMOS regulator, I adapted it with a 1/4" MIP x 1/4" FLR half union fitting, then I used a DUO106 flare to 5/16 fitting, I think this same fitting will work for a Taprite regulator. I also modified the manifold with D1820B Gas manifold nipples so I could use the DUO106 fittings. I also changed out the keg ball lock fittings to flare fittings and purchased 5/16" to 1/4" reducers DUO100 for the taps. All the fittings in the kegerator are duotight. I also put in-line valves on each gas line to the kegs DUO101. Absolutely no clamps It sounds like a lot of work, but so far no leaks and I can control gas flow to each keg.

If the particular model allows you to remove the barb, then you can replace it with a duotight barb. If the barb on your regular is welded on, and you absolutely need to connect it to a duotight system, then you can make a translation connector. (Something like a nipple connector, a duotight fitting, and a barb) so you can connect one type to another.
BEST ANSWER:Yes 3 pin lock 5 gallon kegs will fit, but very very tight. Mine came with a cylinder rack mounted on the back of the kegerator and a gas line pass through hole. You can NOT fit a 5lb cylinder and 3 kegs inside.

It only holds 2 5.2 gallon kegs unless you can find the extra skinny 5.0 gallons. Also all the co2 being behind the unit mounted makes it impossible to push it against the wall. I have to put it in the corner of the room.
BEST ANSWER:Hi Andrew - Yes, the door is reversible, however be careful to remove the pin grommets that hold the door in place. Or new ones can probably be picked up from most any appliance dealer.

There are holes in the left side of the door top and bottom that appear to be in the same location as the hinge pins. I am not positive that it is reversible. It would require the plastic top be removed and also tilting to access the bottom hinge
BEST ANSWER:At this time we do not have a plan to offer the kegerator with the new nukatap faucets, but it may be a feature we add sometime in the future. Cheers!
BEST ANSWER:At this time we do not have a plan to offer the kegerator with the new nukatap faucets, but it may be a feature we add sometime in the future. Cheers!
I purchased the Komos Residential Kegerator with the Quad Tap option. This isn't my first kegerator. The instructions on page 6 for Assembly of the Quad Tower states "Attach the Duotight fitting...and then attach one of the precut lengths of beverage line to the Duotight fitting". I received 22 feet 5 inches of the double wall tubing. One piece, no precut lengths. On page 9 the instructions specify: "Beer Line is more than just a way to get your beer from the keg to your glass. It works as a flow restrictor, and when properly sized it will ensure your beer is served just right. Note that having the correct beer line internal dimension, length, CO2 pressure, and beer temperature is critical to serving your beer properly." My plan is to cut the included double-walled beer line into 4 equal lengths. That should allow enough line to pull the kegs out of the kegerator to attach the Disconnects easily. Does anyone else have other suggestions?
BEST ANSWER:I did not use the provided tubing, selecting a higher grade product from the vendor. You will need about 6 feet per faucet, fine tuning for best pour. If you bought the flow control faucets. I have found over the years that longer is better than shorter to limit foaming. CO2 line length has no bearing on the delivery. I might suggest changing the manifold be one with, in your case, 4 secondary regulators to further control delivery. Bottom line, 6 feet would be the shortest I would ever use, but you might be well advised to try your 4 equal lines and go from there. Beer lines are rather cheap.

My four tap didn’t come with a flange for the tower. Should it have? Also the gas inlet size looks like it will let out a bit of cold air, is there any coverings to tighten their fit?
BEST ANSWER:The flange is on the inside of the tower. It takes a thin forearm to get down in there to tighten the screws so be warned, although it was not too bad. Also the 4 tap does not need, and doesn't come with, a gasket for the base of the tower. I wondered too about the little gap in the ports but it's not been an issue thus far. Maybe I'll get creative and use some clay or something to plug it in the summer.

NEEDS TO BE LARGER. NOT ALL MILLER OR COORS BARREL FITS. I FOUND OUT THE HARD WAY, HAD TO SEND IT BACK & AND GET ONE THAT FITS.LOT OF WORK TO PUT TOGETHER, A TAP THAT SPILLED A LOT OF BEER. MADE A MESS. INSTALLED ONE I HAD, GOT CREDIT FOR NEW ONE. WELL MADE KEEPS BEER COLD.
Down Temp Button Broken, Excellent Customer Service
The down temp button stopped working after two years. Emailed customer service and got back to me right away. Parts to replace were not expensive. Thought it was going to be an ordeal, but was the opposite.
If your fridge stops cooling, DO NOT buy a new fridge! Check this first!
My Komos kegerator ran great for 3 years then stopped cooling. I think this was due to it being overworked. The back panel inside the fridge turned to ice for a couple months and I had not defrost it.
After some research, the fix was quite simple. If your kegerator has stopped cooling, chances are your start relay and overload protection need replacement. I've seen countless reviews online with the same issue, and they were able to fix it simply by changing these two parts. The overload protector protects your compressor from being overworked so there's a good chance it's not your compressor that has stopped working. When your overload protector dies voltage cannot pass to your compressor, safely shutting it down when necessary. Compressors are built to last!
I bought the overload protector and start relay from the big site, installed it, and after a few minutes my compressor started working again. The model number is on the part. I think most start relays for fridges are 4.2 ohms, 3 pin. I bought it paired with an overload protector for $12.
I've seen a few people on beer forums end up buying a new fridge with the same issue when the fix perhaps could have been to simply changing these two parts. Hopefully, I can save someone with the same issue money with this review.
This should be in the manual and tech support should have been able to offer advice on this. I called them prior to doing my research and could not offer me any help other than to check for leaks. One of them told me it was probably my compressor that had gone bad so at that point I thought I would need to buy a new fridge. By simply changing these two parts I saved a ton of money and time and didn't need to wait for further advice from tech support.
3 stars for making a great kegerator but 2 stars for poor customer support.
I've been wanting to share a photo of my "built-in" Komos kegerators, as I have had a few questions about if it can be done. Well the answer is yes. I bought 2 of the original 3 keg versions a couple of years ago when I started my taproom project, so that I could build around them. if you notice in the photo, the tap towers are mounted to the concrete counter top. I made a metal sleeve and collar to extend from the bottom of the tap towers to the top of the kegerator. Anyway, I hope this will give you an idea of what can be done. If you would like additional photos or have questions, please feel free to respond.
I am starting this out with 4 stars. Over time it may be worth 4.5 and maybe 5 stars. When I first got the Komos, I thought there might be something wrong with it. But MoreBeer customer service sent me information on how to calibrate the temperature of the Komos. This seemed to work well. Here are things that I l like about it. 1. It's pretty good looking. 2. Love the fact that it will hold four 5 gallon corny kegs. 3. The duotight tee connectors work well. On my last kegerator, I ran all the gas line through a manifold. Over time I found this to be a bit awkward. You can use a manifold with the Komos, but I like better without the manifold. You get even gas distribution to all the kegs at the same time. This was easy to do with the duotight tee connectors. 4. On my last kegerator, if a tap sat more than a day or two without being used, it would get very gummed up. Sometimes a chore to open it up again. So far, I have not seen this problem with the Intertap Stainless Steel Faucets. They seem to work very well. 5. Haven't totally convinced myself that the Tower Cooling Hose helps all that much, but it is a neat feature and probably doesn't hurt.
Don’t buy one unless you like your beer warm or frozen.
I was pretty excited when I heard KOMOS was making kegerators, so I bought a 6 tap double wide. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am. I the cooling controls are horrible. We’ve tried everything MoreBeer recommended and still, it either freezes the beer or not. No matter where and how we set it, the choices are 62F or freezing. You know what works? We hooked it up to an Inkbird. There are so many nice features, you’d think Kimos would invest in decent controls. But they haven’t, so what good is it? A choice of warm beer or frozen negates anything else. I would guess you to look elsewhere. And MoreBeer? Seriously? A great company like yours should be more picky about selling a product like this. And you certainly could’ve have been more helpful. We tried everything you suggested. No luck. I’ll be very hesitant to buy another KOMOS product.
Very happy with this so far. I was a bit worried about the noise level based on other reviews, but it’s very quite. It went together nicely, no leaks, low noise, and it keeps my beer cold. What more could I ask for.
Overall, I like my kegerator a lot, but it missed the mark on a few things that may seem insignificant, but that depends on your situation. Noise: it's much louder than my mini-fridge of similar size. And the fan on it is a bit obnoxious. I keep the unit in an unfinished room in my basement, so it doesn't bother. If you were planning on having this thing on display, you may not like the noise level. Instructions: Just plain sucked because there were none! Took a while to figure out that the PDF from the Komos website for the V2 was for the V1! There are differences down to the casters, so this made assembly frustrating. Temperature Control: With no instructions, it took a while to figure out how to change the temperature. Holding down for like 5 seconds to make any adjustment is excessive. Good if you have a kid that can't stop pressing buttons. Bad when you're old and out of patience. Also, it hasn't been super accurate. I suspected it was off a couple degrees and it is. I'm finding I need to set it a couple degrees lower than what it displays in order for the interior temperature to be what I want. The Top: Will stain with keg lube! Was surprised to see it won't wipe off. Not a good work surface when connecting a keg. Appearance: Real sharp! Quality stainless steel front. Interior: Where's the light? Oh yeah, doesn't have one, but should! Also, the bottom will scratch up quickly with crappy commercial kegs that have been reused a billion times. CO2 Ports: The holes on the back are nice for passing lines through, but the caps are cheap and look like they're off a soda bottle. Seems to be a way for cold to escape as well, so I crammed foam in them to help keep the cold in.
I have had my kegerator for a year and a half. I liked it plenty, right up until the moment the compressor died. Time for a new one, but from a different manufacturer.
After 1 week of operation, it runs well. Assembly straight forward except 4 tap tower. It was a challenge since screws to connect it are on the inside and slightly difficult to screw in with a normal screw driver. Recommend adding a 4-way Komos manifold to isolate individual gas lines when not in use. Also I did notice that the sides do get a little warm to the touch on outside so space around it is important.
What can be worst than receiving a product you wanted badlly without a fundamental component. I was about to keg and carbonate my beer for Christmas Eve when I noticed that the gas lines didn’t come in the package!!! Also, where are the instructions for putting the kegerator together? This is more than frustrating and can’t give more than 2 stars until I see everything working beautifully and flawlessly! I’m extremely disappointed!!!
Great that it holds 4 ball lock corny kegs. The extra gas inlet in the rear allows me to dispense and carbonate at different pressures from separate CO2 bottles.
We bought the 2 tap version of this to hold our homebrew korny kegs and it is working out great.
Likes: Automatic temperature setting. Set it and let it go. It brings your brews down to the right temps without monitoring. Much better than setting a fridge manually, and no need for an external temp monitor when converting. The rail kit around the outside helps marshal cans and bottles and various assorted miscellaneous apparatus into alignment. This think will hold 4 korny kegs at once. But you will not get anything else in there at all, haha!
Dislikes I wish this kegerator were about 1.5" taller than it is on the inside, because then it would be easier to tap a commercial 1/6 keg with a Sankey Tap. I use all korny kegs, so my Korny keg to Sanke adapter makes the whole thing extra tall. The extra tallness of the DuoLok adapter ends up pushing against the top of the fridge; that makes me nervous about co2 leaks every time I tap a new Micro keg.
Hints and Tricks Use some of the shipping foam (the black closed-cell type - Cut to fit with utility knife or hot-knife) to craft "plugs" for the tubing inlet/outlets on the back for gases (co2, no2) to help keep the cold in. I also cut a plug of this same material to fit into the inside top of the draft tower cap. This helps insulate and avoid the 'sweat' build up on the top of the tower.
I wanted to hold off on reviewing until I had a chance to fully test it. It was shipped to me without the tower gasket, screws, and collar. Those parts were unavailable for an unknown period of time. They did eventually arrive and customer service was helpful. Until then I was able to make my own gasket and buy screws.
This thing has a lot of good things going for it. Having two openings on the back allows you to run a c02 line in and hook up with 4 kegs. The other opening could be used for a nitro line later. I suggest buying 2 carbonation caps for quick disconnection from a larger tank to make it mobile. I always used vinyl tubing and hose clamps so switching to evabarrier line and duotight fittings was a great qol improvement. No leaks so far.
Issues I've had:
This should really come with a neoprene jacket standard for the tower (with pre cut holes). In warm weather a lot of condensation forms on the tower and drips down into a pool. At the very least it would be nice to be able to buy the jacket pre cut.
I really wish there was an extra 6 inches of space inside. Fully loaded with 4 kegs there is zero space for installing in line regulators. For now I decided to sacrifice one keg and install the regulators on the door mounted to a plate.
It should come with an elbow fitting.
It seems to have trouble regulating temperature when set to Fahrenheit. After I switched to celcius it has gotten better.
Randomly the fan started making a horrendous sound, but after turning it off for awhile the issue hasn't occurred again.
After a few weeks of use a lot of ice started forming on the back wall which seems to affect how cold it can get. I'm still troubleshooting this.
Be aware if you are using corny kegs you'll have to buy additional duotight fittings.
Overall I'm happy with the unit compared to my old kegerator.
I did a b it of research before buying this unit. It's not the cheapest and by far not the most expensive. The parts, as well as the cooling unit are generic and can be found under various names, like Kegland (video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaWyQXhTfbU&ab_channel=KegLand) It comes with likes and dislikes as any other device in the world. I like the fact that I can have my beer on tap at home (big+). It will adjust the temperature correctly (big+), the lines are of decent quality. Dislikes: The generic tower used in this combo (in my case three taps), only allows for two branded tap handles, due to it's very narrow position and while it's easy understandable, it's something I dislike. The fact that you will have to purchase endless accessories besides the initial package, for a better setup. You need to consider the fact that if running multiple kegs, one will eventually need replacement and by replacing the one (out of three in my case) you will need some valves in order to prevent back-flow or loss of CO2/Beer - valves are not included!!! Also a vent system for the gas line(s) would be nice to have (not included), which, if not vented you will end-up with O2 in your container and this is a very BAD thing. The compressor gives-up some "breathing" noise which I complained over the phone and was told it will settle in a matter of days - it did not. You can hear the ventilator which circulates cold air into the tower, while there are completely noiseless options on the market... All in all if you spend a few bucks on top of the initial purchase you could end-up with a nice toy; I still wait (two month into the game) for that breathing noise to vanish; it comes-up less but it's still there. The compressor, on the other hand is almost dead quiet. The quality of the poured beer depends on the balance between temperature and pressure and certainly, the type of beer. My results are excellent in this respect.
No manual or warranty info included was a pain and not such a great thing to begin with. The cooling is very awkward and seems to take forever in certain situations. I put a room temp keg in at 43f and an hour later it was at 46 and it was not cooling. The thermostat kicks on way too much in a room that is around 70f. It seems like you need to step cool things or the compressor gets too overwhelmed and stops itself from overheating. The tower is kinda flimsy too.. Needs deeper screws to mount it more securely. Time will tell with this unit.
When it arrived, it looked like someone had dropped it, as it had a dent. However, it works. The only problem is, it pops loudly, and often. I've read this is common with refrigerators, but I've never had one that made so much noise.
Got it all together and looks great. 1st i will use it as a Fermentor and then I’ll use it for for carbonating my keg and then drinking some good home brew.
Unfortunately after a week of having unboxed this Kegerator, I cannot remove several of the machine-tightened steel screws on the bottom in order to install the wheels. Given the cheap nature of the screws, attempts to unscrew or wrench them off have stripped the inside and outside surfaces. I know companies use steel fasteners as a cost measure, but knowing this, maybe don't install them with a hydraulic screwdriver
I have had several Kegerators and this one is the best so far. The digital temperature readout is great, and all the hose connections were included for 4 kegs. Easy to assemble, but FYI the neoprene tower insulator stretches and allows you to cut the faucet connections after the fact. The instructions do no necessarily convey that message.
I'd say so far so good. The directions leave a bit to be desired with outfitting all three taps in the tower. I had it all together and one of the quick connectors disassembled and I had to tear the whole darn thing back apart and plumb it. An absolute nightmare. In addition, the tower sleeve, if purchased as an accessory leaves something to be desired as it isn't precut and takes quite a bit of stretching to get it over the collars for each tap handle. Quality seems good though. Just might be nice to have the tower pre-plumbed with more permanent hardware although, if you ever wanted to tear it apart, that's definitely a possibility. Everything fit together well. Seems to keep cool temps.
Love this kegerator. Easy setup, helps to watch one of the videos out there for simple tips to make the 4 tap shank install easier. works great, not too loud and doesn’t sound like it’s overworking like I’ve read in the past. Have used as a fermentation chamber to cold crash a carboy as well and was able to fit with 1 sixtel at the same time. Nukatap faucets are perfect, no major foam issues whatsoever with only 5.5’ lines. Duotight fittings are easily over tightened and cause leaks if so - just be super deliberate of only turning 1/2 turn Past finger tight. Overall couldn’t be happier with the whole setup.
The way the tap tower attaches to the base is flimsy. Even with the screws right, the tower moves. The temp gauge jumps around a lot. It will turn on and off frequently.
It's relatively quiet, the kit was fantastic. I will say the 4 tap is a little harder to assemble; I used some foam from a craft store to help insulate it as well.
Absolutely can't beat the price; I have 4 slimline torpedo kegs currently with Kombucha/Seltzer. Already ordered a separate chest freezer/co2/etc and 4 extra kegs so I can have them prepped for swap.
The temperature seems to really fluctuate , causing the kegerator to turn on and off constantly. it seems like it’s never not running, i don’t know why it’s running so much the door is never opened, I think this is going to cause failure down the road. Because it’s always kicking on. Also these are just kegland products with a different name, so if a part fails I’m not sure how getting replacement parts is going to go. Also my first kegerator came damaged and sending back was a pain.
Morebeer customer service has been amazing thorough all of this though, and I suppose only time will tell how long this kegerator lasts
I’m very pleased with the overall quality and features of this kegerator. I purchased this model because it has the option to hold 4 kegs. It cools to temperature quickly and seems to maintain set temperature within 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
My only disappointment to date was that when the unit arrived the shelf was broken and some hardware was missing. The MoreBeer customer service team was very helpful, but unfortunately instead of just sending me the broken/missing parts, they sent another kegerator. It was a pain to unbox / rebox and then scheduled FedEx pickup service. A lot of time required on my end.
For the price I just cant see how you could do better. I got the 3 tap model, everything I looked at that was comparable was 1000 + and had to pay shipping to. Putting it together was pretty straightforward (Manuel was online) really liked the ease of the duotight fittings. Temp seems to fluctuate on the readout but it holds steady temp inside. I tested this with a glass of water and temp probe. Only bad thing was it was on back order and had to wait a month for it to ship. All in all I would recommend this.
No doubt that this kegerator is absolutely awesome. Won’t find a 4 tap on the market anywhere near as affordable as this one. Fits 4 corney and slim line gets just fine and love the intertap faucets.
For the next version to come out, I hope the make the following adjustments. Have a compressor that has a delay. Sometimes this kegerator will kick on and off 20+ times within an hour depending on how it’s temperature reading is. Could be the case for a short lifespan. Secondly, it needs to be a bit bigger so you can mount a CO2 manifold or secondary regulator on the inside. I hope they can make adjustments to accommodate that, the duotight gas lines don’t do it for me. You can make it work with the manifold or regulator, but it is a PAIN. Lastly, maybe even make it to where you can mount two tanks on the back. In the event you want to run nitro, you have to ability to secure it on an additional mount. Overall though it’s a great kegerator and I enjoy it a lot!
Got the two tap version and love it so far. Other than cutting the hose too short that goes up the tower, all else is great. Love that it can fit 4 torpedo kegs, which is two batches of 10 gallon beer
This is a very nicely designed kegerator. It works quite well and the taps are very good. Very satisfied. The only somewhat negative issues I would highlight are: 1) The hole(s) in the back to route the CO2 tubing to the externally mounted CO2 tank is about 1" wide. I had to work up something to wrap around the tube so that the hole was "corked" and not leaking cold air. 2) There is no lock for the door. that would be a nice addition.
Love this kegerator it is exactly as described, at a great price. I noticed short cycling issues on mine. I switched the temp over to Celsius, and haven't noticed the issue since. I wish Fahrenheit worked correctly, but it's not really a big deal.
Good price and features but concerned it won’t last!
Was stoked to finally get a kegerator. The price was great, the features this one has were awesome. Setup was acceptable despite having to find the instructions online. However, I am gravely concerned there are design flaws that will cause it to fail prematurely. It doesn’t hold a steady temp and will bounce around between temps by 2 degrees multiple times a second. While annoying as know the actual temp doesn’t fluctuate that fast, it is the frequent cycling of the compressor because if this that has me concerned. Electric motors and compressors are designed to kick on and stay on for a bit. Things like brushes and capacitors will wear each time they are cycled. Relays or solenoids that cycle will wear out faster. The only advice MoreBeer has offered is to set it to a different higher temp and see what happens. Their second reply was that it was manufactured in Celsius so maybe I should leave it there. If it was only intended to operate at 40F or oops whatever the equivalent in Celsius is why let the user change it. I am happy to write a more positive review if they feel this unit is faulty and try to replace it or offer something more reasonable.
I recently purchased this 4tap kegerator to move my corny kegs from the garage keezer into the house. I've had it now for a month and it works well. I currently only use 3 of the 4 taps and have a mix of corny kegs and normal torpedo kegs. I realize i will have to transfer to all cornys or acquire some slimline torpedo kegs in order to get all 4 inside. The intertap faucets are a little finicky on sealing compared to my perlicks. I may swap those out in due time but right now you just have to be extra diligent to push the tap handle back to seal to avoid drip, drip, drips. It's relatively quiet. The LED temp is quite bright, so much that i've taped over it to soften the blue. No biggie. The product as a whole seems to be well thought out with the exception being the hole thru the back wall for CO2 lines. The line(s) are only 8mm yet the hole is at least an inch, maybe more. As is thats a hole to let warm air in. I'll probably cut a small diameter hole in the cap provided and run the line inside of that hole to minimize the escape. Just seemed odd given the other design aspects of the kegerator.
So far so good. Really nice kegerator. my only grip is that the tube that blows cold air into the tower is supposed to blow onto the tower cap, but the tower cap is not insulated.
I studied and researched a lot of kegerators and this was the one that seemed like the best value. High quality at a reasonable price ! Free delivery to !
