I have a summit kegerator model sbc 500ss its turns on then shuts off! its clean but just wont stay on! I read something about the start relay to the compressor? what do you think? can you help?

The fan relay is stuck closed. Get a new one and change the part that looks like it

It's extremely rare that the compressor will be any good. Usually replacing the start relay does nothing on these small units. If you know how to use a multi-meter and are any good at wiring the cheapest way to go is to get what is called a 3-in-1 start kit at a HVAC wholesaler. You need to know the model of the compressor and/or the horsepower to get the right one. I would recommend getting a service tech to look it over though. Most likely the compressor is locked up.

check to see if the compressor runs.

your frig- is going bad replace frig-.

clean all coils and fins and filter ...don't block exhaust with anything (should be no sugar left to ferment)

It can take a very long time to get a keg of beer down in temperature. The heat transfer from a keg is slow due to the lack of air circulation inside the keg. You should also check your condenser coils, make sure they are clean. Door gasket should also be in good repair. Hope this helps.

have u tried starter fluid in the throttle body?you will need to recharge the battery as well

In reply: if its not the maf there are 2 relays in the relay box i belive its underhood, 1 primes the fuelline to 32psi the second kicks in after it starts, and keeps it running and varies the psi. if the primer relay isnt kicking in then it wont start due to no fuel

first send it to me with a full keg so i can check it out what make and model is it and how are you pressuring have you checked the pressure gauge to see what happens when you open the tap
