You need a new start device if your compressor is not running/pumping.That is the box on the side of the compressor .If you can put your hand on the compressor to make sure it (compressor) is than you have a Freon leak. The small line copper coming off the compressor should be between 75 & approximately 85 if its not ho you have Freon leak somewhere.
I also have a Danby Dkc146sldb. I tapped it full yesterday with a full CO2 Tank and dialed the psi to 10. I had a lot of foam even though it set for an entire day. The next night nothing came out. I played with tgeCO2 Again. I can hear gas going I but nothing coming out. I eventually got it working set itagain back to 12 psi (Bud light) and everything tasted fine. I increased the temperature a bit and today pulled the handle and once again nothing. This is very frustrating. Maybe I'm a dummy but can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong? I pulled the release on the coupler into the beer keg and there's definitely has gas coming out. Please tell me something that might solve this prolem . I'm running out of ideas. Shouod I remove omething from the lines of "rings" going into the beer keg? I keep reading things about removing guts or reversing the ring? I'm really confused.
There is a check valve inside the coupler of the danby kegs that cause this problem. The valve is mainly there to prevent beer from back-flowing when changing the keg. Next time you change your keg check for a little black plastic retainer and also a small white plastic ball inside the coupler. Remove those (or just smell it) and you should notice that this is the taste/smell your beer has. I removed mine after this discovery, and there isn't any issues with the taste/smell since. I've heard this is a common issue with the Danby D coupler systems. Also, you won't have any issues with beer backflow when you change the keg, provided the line going to the tap is empty (which usually is if keg is kicked).
